Back to reality

Back to reality, back to TenneT, back to dreaming. I have worked at TenneT twice before, making it possible for me to do my 7month trip through Asia/Australia/NZ/Fiji so well and visiting family in Florida again last October for about 3months. And how lucky am I to be  able to return to TenneT for another temp job!


After celebrating New Years and gradually getting used to the winter, yikes haven't had it this cold in two years so it took some getting used to, I started working again on Friday January 9th. And after that Monday-Friday 40hours a week in the same position I was before. Last time I worked in a different department than before (my first time around at TenneT), but the same as I am in now. Mostly administrate work, but very divers and I am so lucky that I have this to come back to. Which means I'll be able to save up some money again for my next trip, so I started dreaming again and making a list, checking it twice ^_^ on where to go next.


And that's what I did, I made a list, a long list, which I probably won't be able to all do in this next trip. Since I returned last April I have been planning to leave again in May. However, I might be able to stay a little longer on the job and so I'll adjust my department date when I know more. And depending on how much longer I can stay and save, I'll know how far I'll be able to go…the plan is still to see more of Asia and to go back to Australia with a Working Holiday Visa and actually use it this time around and not cancel it like I did the last two times, third time's a charm right…


Besides working, I've been back at Zumba, HAPPY DAYS :D , I've missed Zumba! The guy that has taught us for years quit and moved to the UK, which I didn't know until I got back from Florida. It took some adjusting getting used to the style of our new teacher, a Cuban woman, but love her music :)! And because I missed a lot of classes when I was in Florida, I am going twice a week now. Other than that, there's been some dinners, reunions, drinks, etc. and there will be more.


I've gotten more and more used to the cold, but that might also be because it's slowly getting a bit warmer, 8 degrees Celsius instead of 2. Which didn't mean that I wanted to walk to the busstop at 7am and walk from the busstop at work to the office building, brrrr….you see, my car was acting strange last Monday night. I figured it might have needed oil (or actually I was hoping it did), so I refilled it, quite a bit. But on Tuesday morning and definitely when I drove back home in the afternoon, it acted so weird and stopped, that I eventually too stopped trying and asked someone to pick me and the car up to drive us both back home. My sweet companion, unstoppable…or so I thought. All is not lost yet, but it might not be worth investing in it anymore, seeing as I'll be leaving again and have no idea for how long. So, to be continued….And this means I'll need to depended on buses again, like I was all my life before getting a car. And man was it raining today!! Lucky for me though, I can also drive with a few co-workers to work from now on…carpooling is the future, although I'm not sure it's called carpooling if I won't be driving them every once in a while hehe.


I have also been asked to help out at the flower shop on Tuesday nights starting February 3rd, the job I had from 2005-2010 and I loved it! It'll be a quiet night, but am still excited to be a 'flowergirl' once again, even if it is just for 3hours a week. It will be a long day, but also some extra money.

Well that's it for now…they predicted snow again on Thursday and Friday, which might cause some problems getting to work. Last snow was last Saturday, which was perfect because I didn't have anywhere to be. I noticed it early morning, got out of bed, made a small snowman, well woman actually and a snow angel before returning to bed since I'd only slept for a few hours…


To finish today's story (incorporating that I bought new shoes and that even though it was raining, I didn't have a bad day): These boots were made for walking, this booty was made for dancing and this face was made for smiling :)! Music is really all I need!

Cheers,
Talitha
