What goes around comes around...and splats on your face like rotten egg yolk

So. I know. Im lazy and I havent been able to or in the mood to share my thoughts here. Actually, Ive been mega busy at work. I was transferred to another office, and then I was taken from sales admin/client satisfaction officer and given the role as front office/receptionist. I was so deflated. I actually thought that now would be the time to quit before I was demoted further. However, my bank demands I repay the loan I have for my car so that wasnt a likely plan. Id just have to stay at the front desk and look for another job on the sly so I could get out before the enevitable firing. Except the day I had an interview elsewhere, I got put into the rentals department as the rental assistant. Which I wanted to try solely for the experience to be added to my CV. So I agreed to the role and didnt attend the interview.
So I've been here now for just on 7 weeks. It is the most stressful area of the company. So not fun. However, I thrive on stress. I think if it wasnt for my reaction to stress, Id have failed uni Im guessing. It always helps me over the line. Always. So there I was, with 4 hours training under my belt, battling the world....and in four weeks I impressed the bosses so much, they're going to make me a property manager. The company is going to pay for me to get my sales/property managing licence, and then, I will have one of the ultimate pieces of paper available to me. Hahaha. I love it when I get such things. I think, I took the job because of the client satisfaction and the public relations vein of my original position, and yet, here I am, thriving on the customer service that comes from being a PM or a sales consultant. Awesome as.
In my personal life, I feel like Im struggling a little. The last of my friends here who I kept in touch with upon leaving uni, has left me to head for bigger and better things, and the free rent and food she can scunge from her daddy. Not that Im jealous, I just didnt realise how few friends I had here now. So, Im feeling a little low and with noone to bitch about my fellow employees too, I rediscovered my space.
That was like a massive sigh of relief.
Now, to the reason I really did start this page - weight loss, the skinny girl within's desire to free her self from my rotund frame (lol, I love the word rotund).
I have suprisingly, managed to lose 3 more kilos. Amazing huh? I've moved to where there is fast food surrounding, and yet, I diligently manage to make and eat the lunch I make from home... I make a point to go for a 15 minute walk during my lunch break and I jog on the spot on a mini trampoline at home for 10 minute lots throughout the evening...and its so effective. I have left weight watchers behind, and weigh myself weekly. I guess what I ultimatley learned from signing up with weight watchers was that, in order to succeed, no matter what the method, I had to commit myself. Not have someone prompt me, but make the decision to just do it. And here I am, just doing it. And it feels great.
