Misc.

So, thank you to the fucktards who clearly deliberately posted massive comments in some Asian script. I have now turned comment moderation on, so basically - in a nutshell you won't be making any special guest appearances on here anytime soon. Thanks for dropping by though.

So things are falling into place even moreso now. I was trying to work out storing all my gear etc (furniture and stuff) and dad came up with the idea to sell it...cos, well, storage costs a fortune. And if I decide to get my own place after a while, well moving all my stuff up there is also going to cost a fortune. So enter Facebook. God bless. I advertise on there and BAMN! Within like an hour I am getting emails and phone calls. So this dude came to look at it all yesterday morning and is taking more than half my stuff. Which makes my life so much easier. Was thinking of having a garage sale this weekend but would prefer not to have to, so fingers crossed I won't.

Packing is well..yeah it's packing. The thing with this move that sets it apart from other moves is that I can't take much with me. SO I am literally going through every SINGLE piece of paper in my house to see what is important, what can get chucked, and what can stay in Sydney, stored at my parents place. Anyway so I come across a letter for an old Super fund, saying that they were cancelling part of my policy due to no contributions for a certain period of time. Now, I was still employed by this former employer (not mentioning any names here but let's just say that it was NOT the bank i used to work for and it's NOT my current employer) for about 9 months after the date the letter stated the last contribution was made. So I spent some quality time on the phone with this Super fund this morning, confirming the last date of contribution by this particular employer. And it was as the letter stated. I then spent some more quality time on the phone with the Tax Office making a complaint and launching an investigation into this matter. Now I might add that there are several of my former colleagues in the same boat as me, most of which have complained about this and have also walked out because said employer has not followed through on promises to rectify the situation. Anyway - lesson learnt from this...READ YOUR MAIL VIC!

Um not much else going on aside from that. I taught my last spin class tonight...was a good one too. Some stuff happening on the boy front, wouldnt you know it, just as I am leaving a whole bloody wad of opportunities have opened!! Oh well. Maybe a sign of things to come up North? hehe

Anyway that's about it from me for now. My life is boring and filled with boxes and papers right now. Hopefully this time next week it will be filled with vodka and lemonade.

Hmm

Morning all. Wow, I just read last night's post. Clearly someone shouldn't be blogging on no sleep!! I would apologise for it but in all honesty, it's just the non sugar coated version of how I feel about people leaving comments in a language that I can't even phonetically (spelling?) read let alone understand. I have noticed it happening randomly here and there on my posts and if I could be assed to check the comment moderation thing then I would be filtering them, believe me.

OK so rant over.

Everything has been going swimmingly for me. The expo (Filex) was awesome fun, I caught up with so many friends, both old and new. That's the thing with Filex, you literally take 2 steps and bump into someone you know. Anyway I had a ball and got loaded up with lots of supps and some new pretty cool training gear from Black & Blue - what an awesome brand. I love their gear - it's sooo comfy.

So things are falling into place with my move. I handed in my notice on Monday and finish up one week from today. I then have about a week and a half in Sydney before driving up to Brissy, where I have about 5 days to chill and get my bearings before starting work.

I had the real estate come past yesterday to discuss prices for renting my place out etc. One of my mates since emailed me saying him and his gf might be interested in renting it out which will save a lot of headaches (will still go through the agent though, never mix friends/family and business I say without safeguards in place). The other thing is that sadly I have to leave Felix and Trixie (the pups) behind. I just can't get them up there. But my friends who have 2 little boys have so kindly offered to "adopt" them, sending me weekly pics and updates. I am sad to have to leave them here but glad to know they will be loved and will remain together. I won't go into more detail at the moment cos I am a little emotional about it but I know it's best. They will be around people all the time and get more attention than I am able to give them at the moment. Things with work have been crazy for months, and I have been working ridiculous hours, accepting any shifts I can just to get by, leaving me little time to focus on them. Anyway...I know they will be happy in their new home.

Um not much else to write at this stage, except the obvious, being that PACKING SUCKS MAN!!!

So on that note, will love you and leave you. Vic x

WTF?? (**rant and language warning**)

Ok, seriously, I am over this shit.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH PEOPLE LEAVING BULLSHIT COMMENTS IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE ON MY FUCKING BLOG

Seriously. Write in fucking english or don't write at all. I am over rubbish comments being left and you are half the reason I can't be assed to blog most of the time.

The end.

Big news

So...I have some news.

I went to a job interview on Tuesday morning. Not your regular job interview, I might add. A video link interview. Meaning I was interviewed over a TV screen. Was the funniest thing ever - thought it would be very nerve wrecking but was actually pretty cool. Me in one room, looking at a massive TV screen, where on the other side sat my 3 interviewers. Anyway interview went really really well, I walked out feeling pretty confident.

I will cut a long story short and just say that yesterday I got a call to offer me the job.

So I am leaving the fitness industry (well full time in any case - will keep PT'ing on the side) and going back to what I used to do. Only I'm doing it up north.

In Bris Vegas.

I'm moving baby!!! Come 3 weeks time I will be packing my little green machine, Harry, and we will be taking an adventure. I am so excited (but very nervous!!), it's gonna be a massive change...new job, new home, NEW STATE!! BUT I have some fabulous friends up in QLD so that should make things a little easier :)

I haven't told work yet as the bosses were at Filex yesterday (and even though I was too I didn't think it was an appropriate time or place to make such an announcement) so have had to keep quiet on FB. So Monday will be putting in my notice, will work for 2 weeks then take 2 weeks leave to move and get settled before starting the new job on 31 May. It will be very hectic cos in that time I have some of my girls competing in the upcoming comps - the INBA Sydneys will be on the 16th May and the ANB Sydneys on the 23rd...and my plan is to leave Sydney either the 24th or 25th...so will be cramming! In that time I also have a house to pack and try and get some tenants in to rent etc...

HECTIC but EXCITING!

OK change of subject. FILEX weekend...ooohhh how I love it.

I went yesterday for the industry-only day and saw lots of fabbo people and things...and brought home lots of goodies (some paid for, but mostly samples - I think I have enough protein samples to get me through about 6 weeks on a comp-prep style diet!! and pre-workout - I scored big on those too!!)

I am heading back there tomorrow as I am working at the MAX'S stand from 12pm - so if you are around be sure to come and say hi and maybe try out the new Cookies'n'Cream flavoured Muscle Meal Cookies...OMG they are DEVINE!!

I will be heading into Filex earlier than that though to pick up some last minute things (thinking a set of the BSC Compression pants, they are dirt cheap!!) and stock up on some more goodies, God knows I could use them in my drive up North. It's all about forward thinking! hehe

Speaking of which...my move means 2 things:

1. I can now make it to the ASIA PACS!!!

2. I can now make it to the SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES!!

SO...I will be there to cheer you chickies who are competing on!! WOOT Can't wait. Bringing my pom poms with me.

So I think that is all my news for now. Til next time...stay cool and be good xx
