isn't it strange i have been so busy for the last few months and have not had any time to update my blog and now that i have loads of time on my hand i am updating it relitivly regulay but i have very little to put on it. but i guess part of my resoning for keeping the thing is so that i can look back myself as well as keeping people aware of what i am up to in my life.
anyway what have i been doing the last few days went to see gordons friends from drumchaple on saturday. which was nice. although the time before it was very frustraiting and though no one fault other than the people who maintain the forth road bridge. gordon could not get up here on his own steam even though he spent three hours trying he only ended up just on the other side of the bridge in roysth so i had to go and get him.
went to the nazereen yesterday it was a good service the preaching was very relivant which was good.

eeek tired
goodness i mean when you are free of responserbilites (apart from sorting out the rent and bills eeek) people will always find things to fill up your time. :P you know who you are Gordon
spent yesterday in broxburn and i mean all day i got up at 6 to try and get there for 7:40 i had forgotten what it was like to get up at 6 i mean it was okay when you where at school and had to do it most days (although it may have been a course of some of my illness). the annoying thing is that even though i left rediucaly early missing my chance to vote i did not get there in time which ment a lot of hassels for Gordon and his team today this was due to crazyness on the forth road bridge and me takeing another route because at least i would only be 20 minits late as aposed to two hours late if i stayed on the bridge.
but the long and short of it is that we missed picking up the young people that we needed to pick up no young people came to the school breckfast club and it was all a bit of a waist of time.
then we went to his office he is so bad at deligating i sat and read my book (arther and george which i would recomend if you are inbetween books at the mo) interposed by nipping out to get becon rolls doing some gilerteening and the odd hug :) (the best bit)
i then drove or let Gordon drive around the primary schools to drop off leaflets and stuff leaving him as the school for a meeting. and then went and got his car from the garige what fun because he has not yet passed his test it ment that i had to go in my car pick his car up leave my car get a taxi back and pick up my car on later reflection i think i should just have got a taxi there and saved some petrol but you just do as your told at the time don't you.
Gordon was delayed in the school so i went to the country park to read untill he came out still spent far to much time sitting outside the school but it is quite fun to watch the group dynamics of secondary school kids i just hope i didn't look to weired.
we went to the country park again it being such a lovley day and i was draged up and down hills because i needed the happy hormons to start pumping (humph)
the fanal part of the work day was a meeting with the youth night guys which was long. it needed to be long admitdly but when you have been going all day particualy when you have just been the chauffeur all day and not much else you might want to go home.
thats not where it ended though gordon then said i have no food will you take me to the shop and get some no remeber we are now heading for ten at night and the only shop open in 15 min drive in the wrong direction arrrrrrg sucker me said okay and eneded up walking around asdas until ten. well i didn't get home till 11:30 so am nackered.
have to go into the y today and pick up my stuff and hand over the stuff that still at my flat this is a scary prospect.

i think that over the last weekend it has all finaly hit home feeling very depressed today.
Gordon and i went on this church tresure hunt yesterday and all i could think was please please let there be no one else in our car i can't do social. i have never been so afraid to go to church and see people the very idea of social things is making me feel sick and yet i guess life goes on and i have to face these things.
the tresure hunt was good lots of good ideas to nick for my own work

before jos wedding
after my bad news on monday i wanted the stuff about jos wedding seprate so here is the story of my weekend.
i traveled down to devon from mums on friday where i met steph and ruths mum who took us to ruths house where all where waiting for us.
we had a grand old time giggling over dinner (well rouckus laghter would be closer) and walking up hills on dartmore brill. so much fun so good to see all the girls again some of which i have not seen for years and years.
when we got up there was a mad dash for the bathroom and genral astonisment at how short a time i took which was quite amausing.
got dressed far to quickly and was waiting around giving advice to the others as to their outfits although not very good at all that stuff. we all got very exsited.
made a packed lunch and jumped into cars headed off to truro to pick gordon up arrived over and hour early so entertained ourselves with african cards (most approperate)
was so good to see gordon i am missing him so much we have not had much time alown together this month i feel bereft. the grils all planed to jump on him and chickend out at the last minit which i am sure he was glad about :) although he did not know about the plan at the time.
pliled into cars again and went to jos house where we walked around for an hour the wedding to start

what on earth is going on
monday last week. it all went to pot and this time a really mean it. i had two meetings the first one was with funders and i was late which was not the best but in the grand sceam of things not that big and deal.
but then after work we had a meeting about my future as sidewalk coordinator and i my one months notice was told i did not have to go back in other than to clear my desk and sent home. this sucks more than words can say.
i have worked hard i have done what i was employed to do to the best of my ablities but i feel like i have been left go because i would not do things that where not part of my job in the first place and because i am not load enough to build superfiasl realtionships off the bat. they seem to have really unrealistic exspections of what detached youth work should look like and how fast it should move. i am not saying i have not made mistakes but what i am saying is that i do not feel that things where going badly enough to get the sack. but then again where one door closes ten more open there will be something better for me unfortunalty i really need to find it in less than a month. :S

up side down world
things are not getting much better at work but i guess i am coming to turms with it and so coping with it better. but oh my it is not easy. particulay when they havn't done what they said they would do like give me proper targets to reach they have given me some very lovy dovy action points and thats pushing it for a discription. i am so cross you would not beleive. but also so bad at conflict that you would not beleive either. building up the corrage and the matiral to go back to them and say this is how i would like things to be and this is the best way to change them.

and i thought stress ended in college
well have had a very eventful week or so things have definatly not been good.
i had my line managment meeting last thursday where jill (my line manager) told me that at my last managment meeting they had desided that instead of confurming my postition as the sidewalk coordinator that they where going to prolong my probation period for another three months and give me some targets to reach during that time.
well clearly me being me i have not tacken this very well i am not good at this sorta things at all but i should get these targets this afternoon and when i do i will see if they are reasonable and see where we go from their.
am keeping my options opens for now

very strange thing
i swoped my blog over to the new type (something to do with google) and i seem to have started posting on two blogs which means i have two missing posts on this one which is the one that i have been keeping for the last three years and two random ones somewhere else i am not making much of a fuss since neither of the two post where ground brecking as i am sure everyone who reads this blog will understand as not much of it is :) i enjoy keeping it mind which is sorta the point.
so whats going on well we went out last night and the young people where amazing we had three convosations and i mean convosations not three contacts i feel that we are starting to one get known by the young people and two be able to start chatting about important things all very exciting really.
we are going out tonight once a month on saturday is better than never on saturday is my philophay although i am fighting to get enough people to be out on saturday every week we can dream.
although when we have sessional workers that will be alot more easy.
this morning went to a meeting about a youth service that is to start happening in perth i have some reservations about the way that the youth workers in perth are going about setting up ie the fact that there where no young people at this meeting just workers and they did not seem to have consulted with any young people about what the vision should be. but hey their hearts are in the right place and not everyone has done a degree in these things. i can't justify being part of this project as work so i know have the problem that i have to see if i can justify spending some free time supporting them. they do need people and it seems a shame when i am nagging for vols all the time that i am not willing to give up some of my free time but then again i have limited free time and if it would interfer with time with Gordon, friends and so on then i have to really be careful about it. there are also the health implications that i have deal with so we shall see.

"youth conferance" oh dear oh dear
i don't think that the people who organised the youth confrance that i was at today have quite got the idea.
it was well dull is a word that would decribe it wrong is another word missleading another and inaproperate for young people.
the topic looked good conquoring your thoughts the sub points were good at the heart of all sin is a thought you had to think of doing something before you do it. went through negative things that can happen to make you think negative thoughts and different things that we have to avoid to keep our minds clean. yup it could have been brill.
but there was no oppurtuity for disscusion the young people including myself where made to sit and listen to this guy from singapour talk at them for three hours with at the end of each of his bit another guy getting up and going over the first guys points again arrrrrrrrrrg.
there was also some serouse problems with the theology that was being tort it may have been langwige barriors but at times it felt like our percher (couse thats all he could be described as) was saying god stops loving people when they sin! that we should be completely seprate from the world ie go into the christian bubble and never come out to talk to none christians and so forth.
at the breif time that was given for feedback questions no one spoke exsept a stupid old dude with a really stupid question about angles which was anwered really badly. clearly none of the young people had really engaged with the topic in hand.
it frustraits me so when i go to stuff like that because it could be so good if i or any of my follow students had been given the reins there could have been disscusion more questions more intresting ways of persenting the information and we could also have made sure the dude was not gonna spote rubbish that just confusses the young poeple.
i would also have had a jargon buster session he used terms like fear of god exspecting the young people to know exsatly what it meant and i know for a fact that i did not know what that meant when i was a young person.
fyi it means
What does walking in the fear of the Lord mean? It certainly does mean to worship with reverence and awe. But it means to live in fear of displeasing the Lord. ...... but let me exsplain what i mean. a deep true fear of God will keep you from comitting adultery - because of what it does to God, Church, to the one you would be involved with to you, your spouse and family, and to you.

christmas
christmas was great bussy though Gordon and i drove down on chirses birthday which was lovley we went to the chiness buffet in rushden. we went to see ponokeio in northampton which was lovley i love the royal christmas play. although it is criminal what they have done to the entrance of the theater you have to enter through the nasty derngate entrance which is a great example of 1970s yurk instread of the lovley period entrance which we used to go through just makes you want to cry.
gordon went to his home on christmas eve but after going to church with me which is nice.
christmas day was really really nice we all opened presents with sarah and then uncal bob and antie linda came and picked her up. after which we carried on with a quie day helped mum make to make christmas dinner well sort of helped her.
went to dads the day after boxing day which was also lovley met some of dianas friends from the drama centre which was intresting.
then went to Gordons for a few days before he went to this conferance we welcomed in the new year on a bridge in cambridge. and had spent the rest of the night meeting up with his friends and seeing his family.
i went home again and met up with Dan and Aron which was great Dan and i watched scrubs and Aran and I went to the chinees again but that was also lovely havent seen Aron in so long wounderful to catch up.
Gordon and i traveled back up together on the sunday which took up 12ish hours but we did stop for two to see his father and his wife we went to the chinees again so that make three trips to the chinees in three weeks.

my head my exspoled
its a long time since i bloged properly been an intresting few weeks.
i have had teams out for work for 4 fridays now a month and things are looking good for getting another team out in the new year.
although that is if people actualy do get trained i ran a training night on wenesday i exspected 7 people 5 had confurmed that they would be there befor 2 had said so on the day only 1 person actualy came. which was really disapointing. but the person who came was great he came out on friday and was really good.
as to my personal life well i don't have much of one. the hardest thing is that i have chosen a church but have not been able to go to it for a long time because i have to go and trawl round other churches for volunteers its not easy at all.
and i do not find it as easy as some people to make friends but that will all come with time i am sure.

i wish you could just print a file without having to open it this would make sertain aspects of my job so much eaiser there is probley a way and i am just being dence but hey you know me.
things are really going well as the moment we have had the teams out for three weeks now and the young people are being really receptive and cheery. although we have had few close incounters with some more agressive people. we also had to give out some first aid to a young person who had fallen into some brocken glass last week which was intresting the guys hand had been bleeding for ages and so loads of the blood had the blood had dryed and was really hard to get off. and plasters don't work in the rain particulay when you are standing on a bridge eek.
but all in it is all good
