Manager’s log: Something I learnt this week
When sh*t goes wrong, you cant palm that stuff off to someone else. Which sucks when your company pretty much runs with technology based equipment. But alas, this week I have actually started to feel like a manager. Still feels weird to even call myself that. Will be even weirder if I become director in 2017.
Ever since the meeting last week with the guys they have been doing their job properly/getting to work on time/notifying us if they have to leave early instead of just doing so etc, so hopefully that aspect continues.

I need to talk to Mum about my salary which is a little awkward. I was under the impression that she was matching my previous salary (can’t remember if that came from Mum or Dad) but it is significantly less. If its provisional I am totally okay with that. I’m due to take on a lot more work in the near future - i.e. managing the accounting side of things and reporting daily to the corporation we contract for.
Side note: got another high distinction on my latest accounting assessment! fist pump

My youngest sister, Chantelle, is moving in with Eli and I this weekend for a couple of months. She’s paying rent which will make the money situation even out a little. I’m actually in the best financial position I have been in.... probably ever. But I am totally aware that I need to be saving a lot of money if I want to get serious about buying a house in the near future AND go to Europe for a month or so next year in conjunction with my other sister’s wedding.

Chantelle’s plan is to move back home with Mum when Danielle and her husband move to Canada in late October, however I found out last night that their visas were declined so I dont know whats happening there. Its not like they’re not allowed in the country, they just missed a deadline in the application process and now have to start all over again or something. If they decide to throw in the towel with leaving the country they have some big decisions to make. This was meant to be the first stepping stone to moving out and beginning their married life together - not living with Mum. I don’t know if they’ll look at renting or if they’ll just go straight into buying. They’ve got the money to buy if they wanted to. Either way, I think they’ve been to a handful of open houses years ago when they were thinking about buying but thats as far as their househunting history goes. Should be interesting.
This probably all makes me sound bitter but she’s the only one of the four of us that hasnt ever really moved out of home apart from when she goes overseas, has never paid rent at home and yet still had the audacity to tell my other sisters how much THEY were costing Mum and Dad. I just feel like they have a lot to learn.

Anyway, that is all for now. I should get some more work done before the Splendour set times get released and I am consumed by that for a while.

Holy sh*t, I just went to save this and the internet conked out. I flipping hate losing entries. Luckily I didnt lose it. Phew! Hopefully this luck continues with the set times haha.
