These last few weeks have been very busy for me and my SO, I've had lots of job interviews recently as I wish to switch roles, sadly I've been unsuccessful so far but I still have a few interviews to go. My current work is making me unhappy, I've worked for the company for about 5 years now and I want a new start, the thing is with my job is there isn't much hope of getting different work as I'm only really trained in one area (Care work) but I'm determined to find something that is better suited to me.

I've been off sick the last 2 days due to a virus and chest infection, I was born 3 month premature and I have a rubbish immune system and my lungs are not 100% so as soon as I get any infection or sickness it floors me and takes me a good few weeks to properly recover, I've been running a fever and been sick the last 2 days so I'm obviously not going to go to work with my sickness and infect the elderly clients or staff but the management have rang up in a very foul mood saying I#m letting them down by not being there and that I HAVE to work this weekend as no cover, to be honest my health comes first and to be honest my work make me feel very undervalued and don't support me in anyway, I'm just an employee not a person.

My SO has had a difficult week with her work due to stress and problems with her clients also her Step Grandma passed away yesterday so she's feeling very sad about that and it's times like this I wish there wasn't 5100 miles between us I just want to be with her.

In 22 days she will be here though, yesterday I booked our hotel for some of our trip just train tickets to sort, my family are excited to meet her and my mum seems to think my SO and I have similar facial features and sometimes when me and the GF skype we say the same things at the same time its quite funny really but it got me thinking about something I read saying when you pick a partner you pick someone who is similar to you and for us that's true we are very similar in a lot of ways but very different too.

Ramble over for now!! x
