Ok, so the day after I last wrote, I got to the DDC and what do you know, there's no supervisor so one of the vollies nominated me. I had to smile, so I got the usual mini meeting sorted and everyone doing their jobs, then grabbed the Supervisor manual and gave myself a run down of what I was supposed to be doing! All went well, and I've been doing it for the last 3 Saturdays, but the usual supervisor is possibly back next week so my stint looks to be short and sweet! All good though, I'll still be a regular vollie on the Sat morning, give up the Sun afternoon shift and give myself time to enjoy the weekends a bit more! Haven't really seen much of the surrounding area so need to change that :) Having said that, I've just got back from Dunsborough, a beautiful spot just down the coast. We checked out the lighthouse, visited a winery (Margaret River is a top quality wine region) and then hit the beach! Great way to spend an afternoon :)

Aside from that, I'm still working (quite a lot recently, over 50hrs this week!), I've actually been made Senior Contracts Administrator - I'm officially the longest serving admin member, with my (all of) 2months service! There were only 2 staff before - the one I replaced originally, and the second quit just before Christmas. We are now a team of 4, and ironically one of the newcomers used to run a successful business, but she's come in as a Contracts Administrator and I'm senior to her, which she doesn't like at all.... I guess I've had longer to prove myself, but then again, she has been struggling with the admin tasks. Work-wise, we're still getting back on track and I'm working on getting us running smoothly by preferably mid Feb, but definitely by the time I leave! (Feb/March).

So yes, I've given my notice. Post Transfield....well, I'm still working on my plans, but nothing concrete yet. However I am moving out of my current house to somewhere more central and closer to the beach! Will be happening in a couple of weeks, really looking forward to it!
