1 week to go

Well I have one week of work left to go. As I drove into the carpark this morning I thought to myself "I only have to do this 4 more times".

I came in on Monday and as I was leaving spoke to my boss and gave her my 2 weeks notice. She said to me "You don't have to leave so quickly" and I replied with "Well yes I do really because no one will employ me now before the baby is born because they won't want someone who will just have to leave again in 4 months. So Pete and I check our options and I need to earn as little as possible to get maximum tax benefits in the next financial year" To which she replie with "Oh OK."

So the response to that has been; have not worked with my boss for the last 2 days. On Tuesday she just never came in, or so I thought, and nobody told me she wasn't coming in. When I came in yesterday I discovered she actually came in at lunchtime after I had left Tuesday. Then yesterday she rocked up for 5 minutes to drop off the mail and left again because it was her daughters birthday. Last year she had a birthday party for her and Bethany was invited. Yesterday she brought over a cake for Jordyn to have with all the workers during their coffee break but this year I wasn't even asked to come and watch.

Then yesterday some applications started to come through on the fax for my job. I realised it must have been advertised in the paper that day. She only received 3. The first 2 were from women with not a lot of experience who were 48 and 45. Now I know that Tara told me when I had my interview that she did not want older people as they found it hard to get along with Jordyn. And then the other application that came in after I left (I looked at it this morning) was from someone who has a fair bit of experience and is only a year older than me, but its a guy. Come to think of it she will probably like him because he can't get pregnant but wheather he would put up with Jordy is another thing.

So have no idea if she is coming in today. If she chooses one of these applicants it is possible that they could start next week if she gets the interviews done quick enough, but I have no idea what I would teach them. Yesterday was the day I come in for the full 5 hours and I spent 4 of those hours on the net or playing games. I spose I could teach the new person how to play tetris!

On the pregnancy front, I went for my first midwife appointment on Monday. It just made everything seem so real. My next appointment is on June 16 (I will be 18.5 weeks) and I will get my referal at that appointment for my next ultrasound which will be just a couple of weeks later. It's all getting a bit exciting now, although it may start to drag when I am at home everyday.

I am starting to get through the days without naps and am hoping to start getting out for a daily stroll shortly. I will have the time now to do it, with not being at work. My weight gain has started to slow down but I want to start improving my fitness again because I know I'll need to be as fit as possible come labour time.

Well will sign off now and go play some tetris. Catch up with you all shortly.
