Notice!

Told my boss and staff that I'm going to be leaving. Finally. haha I had been holding onto it for the longest time because I was so scared of disappointing or upsetting them.
I know it's always a challenge to find a dentist to come all the way to Port Augusta, and one that can mesh well with the team. But hey, life goes on, I need to move on to the next stage :)

Will give my official 4 weeks notice when I am more certain on a date. I think we will see how the job hunt goes. Applied for a couple positions this week, and I think I will try and get two part time jobs this time. Full time was good but I want to incorporate some variation I reckon. Its quite common for dentists in town to have a few different jobs and I think its a great idea. It gives me abit of a buffer if I turn out not to mesh with one clinic not to be stuck there all week! haha..
Well, wish me luck with the job hunt! Everythings happening now! So exciting.

Tomorrow night catching up with my highschool group of girlfriends, it has been way too long. I haven't seen them for.. many months :(
I guess thats what happens as people grow up and grow apart. But hopefully there will be a day where we become closer again. Maybe when I move back I'll try to make more of an effort to catch up with them.. after all they were a huge part of my life growing up! Its been hard organizing catchups when I'm only in Adelaide less than 2 days a week.
I say that but really I should have made more time for them. Sad.

Happy Friday everyone :) Cherish your friendships!

House Hunting

So its happening! We've finally got started with buying our house and moving in together!
What a gigantic milestone..
I'm so glad at how far we've come and I couldn't dream of a better partner to have by my side.
Although we are both such noobs at this kind of thing, we just work together so well as a team which is great!
We just went through the bank for pre-approval on Friday and now started seriously looking at potential houses. Been to a few open inspections but really just sussing out the market and getting a feel for what we are really looking for in a house.
The whole process was so daunting and still we have a long way to go before actually getting the house we want and moving in.. but I'm so happy we made a start on it this weekend.
Super excited to say the least!

Got so much on my plate at the moment it feels. The worst part is telling my clinic that I will be leaving soon. I've decided to tell them this week to try and give them as much notice as possible. Even though I don't know exactly when I'll be leaving. But atleast that will give them time to prepare for when I leave and to start looking for my replacement.
I feel bad but life goes on. I really felt like I couldn't get on with my personal life until I came back to Adelaide, so I've chosen to move on. The job is wonderful but it also has been limiting my education and skills due to the lack of technology out here. Time to get back into the metropolitan and back to modern clinic technology! I feel like I'm lagging behind some of my colleagues in terms of skillset.
So.. Onwards and upwards! :)

Wish us luck with house hunting!
