I applied for the job as a stop gap – to get money coming in before I go away on holidays. My payout from my last job that I worked for 23 years is going fast – well it was 10 months ago. I have been fluffing around trying to decide my next career move. I didn’t want to be in printing anymore – wanted to be a manager but doing what? So, I applied for this job – It is part time (have no idea what it pays cause I didn’t ask) 30 hours a week. It is tough work. Shelf filling, stand building, cleaning. Six hours of being one the move, lifting and bending. When I went to the interview, the person was really nice. He had got 4 promotions in two years. He started where I am – this is the way the company hires – they want you to learn the whole business. He said he sees me heading up the corporate ladder pretty quickly. The more we we were talking about things the more I got to thinking this could be more than a stop gap job. I could go far here. So I am now really excited about the job and where it will lead. I have induction on Tuesday at the respectable time of 10am. Where is the job? Its at that big shopping warehouse at the Docklands, you all know the one. Don’t want links to my blog. lol.
Went to my PT session today. One the way it was hailing – my PT rang me and we decided not to run and to do weights instead. I got there and started to warm up. Then the sun came out so we headed out the door. It was freezing out there. Took 15 minutes to feel the tips of my fingers. Only rained a little bit and was glad we got out and ran. Then a good stretch. 466 Calories burnt.

Congratulations! Sounds like you won’t need to be doing any strength workouts, with that job! Lots of incidental exercise!
We shop there, I always enjoy the visit. Those huge jars of Skippy peanut butter are my fave.

I thought the peanut butter choc cups were? lol. And yep I am expecting the job to get my weight loss a real boost, not to mention tiring me out…at least until I get used to it.

woohoo! congrats. sounds like incidental exercise central! I’ve never been there, but my family loves it and buys 2kg bags of pistachios there! the great thing is that you’ll have no traffic at that time of day and you’ll have plenty of daylight hours to exercise if you so choose to! You’ll be eating dinner at 5pm now and in bed by 7pm!
