No smoking

I've now been giving up smoking for three weeks and smoke free for two, it's been relatively easy since I am wearing a patch, although there are times when I still crave a cigarette.

I had this old pack of tobacco in the house which I finally threw out last night so that the temptation wouldn't be there anymore.
All I need to do now is to loose some weight and start exercising ..I just need to get motivated I guess.

On Thursday I was called into the second in charge's office at work, where he told me that he'd only heard good things about me and that I was doing a great job. He asked me whether I liked it there and so I said yes and told him that I'd like to apply for a permanent position should the opportunity presents itself. He was very encouraging and said that he would have a talk to the "big boss" upon his return next month. I felt pretty good upon coming out of his office, especially since he complimented my work at least three times within the 10 minutes I spent there.

On Friday I got a free head and shoulder massage at work, it's free and part of their work practices once a month. I can definitively see myself working there as a permanent employee !

I'm hoping to become an investigator, but I'd be happy with any job really. Since my accident and my return to work, I have only been given temporary duties at my old place of employement and some of them have been really crap.
It's almost as if the company tries to push you out of the door by giving you all the shit jobs hoping that you will eventually be fed up and resign.

Regardless of all those rehabilitation laws currently in place, once you have a physical disability of any kind, you get treated like a vegetable in most workplaces.

This new job is the same company but because it's the corporate side, physical disabilities are not an issue as long as you can use your brain.

I've put in a photo gallery on the right hand side, just put some pics I currently had on my computer but I'm going to try to change it every now and again and do a theme gallery.
We've got a few weeks in front of us before our next big step and I got inspired by the great pics on stellaand/ben blogspot so I thought I'd take some of my own.

I did take photography as a major while studying fine arts in college and I used to take lots of photos years ago but stopped when computers came in. The same happened with my drawing and painting. Vee and I always say that we ought to get back into it, we've got all that we need, we just need to make a time for it.
