Ok peeps (you know who you are). Daniel gave me a link detailing the names of the teams and the times they are playing. My only question is this:
WHAT THE HECK IS THE NAME OF YOUR TEAM?!
I have scoured Daniel’s and Tanya’s journals, and although highly entertaining and mildly educational, I am unable to come across the team moniker.
Please be so kind as to enlighten.
Sincerely,
*nay*

(from meme thing last post)
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
So far so good, I am doing well in my new job! I love it! Did I tell you people I finally resigned from Insight after securing a new position at St John Ambulance HQ in Belmont..? Well I did. Anywho, as the new Relief officer, the idea is that I am a permanent temp- whenever someone else goes on holidays, I do their job. So the next time they’re away, I already (in theory) know how to do their job, and they don’t have to keep re-training regular temps.
So I’ve started out in the First Aid Service and Training call centre, to get a good base knowledge of everything to do with First Aid Training. You want to do a First Aid course? Call me! I started on Wed, so today, being my third day on the job, I got to take a few calls myself while my trainer listened in. It was great!! Working at Insight gave me a great knowledge base- I know how to talk on the phone, how to sound like I know what I’m talking about (even though I don’t actually know a lot yet!) and what questions to ask before putting the caller on hold and yelling for help. Also in my Team Leader and Trainer positions at Insight I got to know the inner workings of Exel Spreadsheets very well- and that came in so very handy today. My trainer thinks I’m cool
And my connections with Hedland depot are useful too.. So far there’s only been one follow-up call to Daddy, but I can see so many more occurring.. Its much quicker than waiting for internal communication to catch up and get us the info we need!!
There’s so much to remember too, but as usual the stuff just gets absorbed by my head and then sticks there for good- taking up valuable space I might add!! The mind-boggling bit is this- I’m only learning one position just now. Eventually, I’m expected to step into at least 10 different people’s roles and sub while they’re away. *faint* Its a challenge, and enjoying it will make it easier I think. Oh and everyone is quite mad, totally bonkers, so thats fun too.
So, stuff in ’08. I’m sure other things are occuring too, but the big startling ones thus far include:
September: Keith turns 21. Crikey.
October (tentative): Rob and I get married.
November: My parents’ 30th wedding anniversary.
Feel free to come up with more earth-shattering news 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, and to all a good night!
