When you don't talk about something, and it doesn't cross your mind then nothing happens.

But as soon as it comes up in conversation, its like the wavelengths or something communicate with each other and things begin to happen.

Occurrence Number 1: Recruitment
I haven't had a recruiter call me for months now. And was just discussing this last night and whether we should be updating or maintaining our linkedin profiles, talking about which are the better recruiters etc. And what do you know? I get a call from a recruiter today to see 'where i was at'. Pfft. Only when it suits them. Where were YOU when i was looking for a role?

Occurrence Number 2: Business Development
So, safe to say that this is something that is actually within my control. I get that if nothing happens, that's more than likely my fault. But it only takes one phone call, one email or one conversation to change your path. Again, we were just talking about it last night not just for myself on how to get my name out there but also for PR and nick since they both also had ABNs for different reasons (here also was the conversation about loss-loss or made-losss). That conversation happening this afternoon. One of the EAs had a pretty difficult time sourcing some goodies for afternoon tea. Ended up paying $80 for 18 cupcakes and she wasn't happy that they tried to charge her for a bag (plus that she had to go pick them up, etc). And i and my boss were like... i could do it!!! Whipped out the iPad with my photos and BAM!! Done deal! with BOTH EA's. Yep, that's how you do deals.

Feeling like I have taken a step in a positive direction! I'm going to Myer to celebrate by buying myself 2 baking books this afternoon!

woke up early and opted for the first time in a couple of weeks not to bury my head under the pillows for an extra hour or two and hit the gym. felt good cept i was wearing new trainers and the sole and lining was really hard so gave me blisters. ouch.
home and showered and was off on my way. decided to check out the petrol prices.. turned out to be pretty cheap so i filled up anyway. didnt have to wait either which was really good. then went to westfield with the intent to cut my hair - which i did. got it layered a bit more and trimmed. this time, i just went to justcuts cause i have still yet to find a hairdresser thats really good and stands out for me. but the lady here was okay. not that bad. and it was way cheaper than my last hair appointment.
walked into a chemist to check out the ear piercing.. and then chickened out. i am still mixed about getting a second hole so i will put it off for the moment.
dropped by myer and saw that they had a blender (the one i want!) on sale. made a mental note to tell mum about it. in case u didnt know, i was doing the washing last night and i hit the jug again the granite surface and it kind of cracked.. oh wells. im half blaming myself and half saying that i did it on purpose (cause i never really liked our blender =D)
went to grab a boost as lunch on the go before i had to go to work. chatted for a bit with jan and a couple of the part timers. met a new girl. got stuck into building strollers. fun. i love building strollers.
anyone, i put this one stroller on display - its called the discovery - and 10 minutes later muriell brings out an old display of the discovery. and i was like no!! mureill u cant do this to me!! we have no space. lol. told marwah and she was like.. no way.. and im like *nod nod* yep......
anyhow, so go do my closing and marwah calls me to the service desk. and she was like 'bring that stroller with you' and im like. okley dokley. and there was this customer who was bringing back the old discovery cause it had a faulty wheel. and i looked at marwah and shook my head. WHAT A COINCIDENCE. cause if they had been a day earlier or a day later, there was absolutely no way they could get a replacement cause we wouldnt have had that particular discovery at that particular time. so yeah tat was kind of f.r.e.a.k.y
anyhow, there was a new girl in my department today. shes kind of crap so far. she'll be in again tomorrow so i will see cause she'll be with me. and some other ppl were doing induction tonight. avrils back which is good. :) and it felt like the refit again cause there were ppl staying until midnight and workers who were tiling the floor or something..
anyhow, left at 6:30 and had to rush home and change and go to grandmas for dinner cause sarahs leaving tomorrow... forever. =( shes gonna go england and then prolly hong kong and its likely that she'll stay there cause her fiancee is there and yea.. so had to say goodbye to her.
and now im here. and need to print off my lecture notes.

and the wildly frealy coincidences keep happening. donna sent a text around about she wasnt feeling well and went home early. and my sister apparently came home from school today cause she wasnt well around lunch.
so i had a cosy little lunch with joyce who was discussing what would be her 20th birthday thing.
bumped into sam on the train home.. she works at boost with mandy now (yeah ok you probably all know) and yeah. um.. harrys going to the party thing next saturday eventhough he'll be the only guy there??
i was sort of sorting and cleaning out my wardrobe and there were all these boxes on the bottom with things from the past.. im talking about highschool AND primary school. man, how i've changed. i had half a heart to throw it all out. obviously i didnt
