Well that’s slightly exaggerated; I was never dead, just a little busy!
So I’ve spent the last 3months or more working as a Communications/Media officer for a State Government department, it’s been interesting. I’ve been involved in some great projects, some of a bit more high profile than the rest, and I’ve had a lot of fun with them and I’ve learnt some really random facts about Scuba Diving and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) that I’m sure will come in good use for trivia at some point in my life.
It’s been really fun though and even though I’ve been super busy working 45+ hour weeks and had crazy people yelling at me and panicking and all sorts of shenanigans, I’ve enjoyed my work so far and it’s going to make for some great additions to my professional portfolio which is always a positive outcome.
At this point I’m nearing the end of my temp contract in this role (June 30) so I’m starting to prod and poke around and find out where I’m heading and whether I’m being kept on for a more permanent use and just trying to figure out what I’m doing for the second half of the year.
Wedding planning has been going really well, we’ve got our finalised invitations so I’m planning to post them out this week and I’ve managed to get the official wedding website up and running for our guests to learn about the venue and accommodation, directions and to RSVP. So I’ve made some progress. Right now I need to focus on my maid of honour and her dress and getting Brian a suit organised!
We still have to decide on a cake design and the wording for our ceremony, but otherwise it’s falling into place nicely. The only thing hanging over my head is knowing what I’m doing work-wise so I can bank on a particular income. If I get extended in my current job, that would be ideal, because the money is really good and will lend itself nicely to the final costings of the wedding. Although, if I’m here on a temp capacity that is going to suck when it comes to the honeymoon, as we’ve organised a 10-night getaway to Fiji just for something simple and relaxing before we start planning for our USA Extravaganza holiday in 2012.
Other than that, everything is pretty much same ol’, same ol!
Will make an effort on the blog more often and might think about a redesign to re-jig it up!
