Well, I didn't get an interview...

Well R has finished our front room.. here are some before pictures.. we had this tv cabinet given to us.. it was fine for the time being and my tv fit in it but when my tv broke and we got an new one it didn't fit in the old cabinet... and that's where the renovating began.. we decided to replace the tv cabinet, and thought that matching coffee table and end tables would look nice.. and while we were at it decided to paint the walls... the first two pics from last xmas show the room as it was...



As you can see the walls are green... a rather darkesh green that made spending time in that room at night very depressing... it was like a cave.. and during the day the light didn't seem to penetrate too well into our room of doom.. and it had a hideous paper border that had to go... once we removed the boarder we discovered that the paint color under the border was a completely different color... iiick... I had my crafts everywhere and you could barely see the laminate floors underneath the clutter....


this is our new and improved living room.. we painted the walls a wonderful sandy peachy warm but bright color... and the new entertainment centre and livingroom tables all tied in together.. I just love sitting in that room and taking in the ambiance... I feel immediately calm and relaxed there... and the new tv fits the new stand very well... the wall color matches all the woodwork and seems to compliment every color imaginable...


And this is R's chair that he brought over from Frederiction (he has a matching set) and the rust color could never be matched with anything before but it fits right in now.. I'm so loving that wall color (I'm so glad I picked it!!!! Maybe I can become a decorator... lol)...


And my crafts have been moved upstairs to the computer room (a spare bedroom) where we have constructed a crafting/sewing area in one end of the room... and the walls have been painted the same color... love love love it... althought I'm still trying to track down some of my crafts to organise on the shelves... I have stuff spread all over the house...


I didn't get an interview in Records.. I was reminded that the last time the job came up I wasn't qualified because I didn't have Office Studies (never mind that I've worked 20 years in what?.... AN OFFICE!!)... bunch a' turnips... oh well, now I'm thinking that I'm going to be retiring soon so what the hell... I'm starting to feel like every other gov't employee that's near retirement thinking "how can I do as little as possible and still get paid?".. *I've discovered that if you look busy enough you can practically do nothing and noone knows... shhhhhh... well at least I think they don't know... * and I do enjoy working where I'm at and the pay ain't half bad so I thought that I'd keep plugging on...
