Eating habits...

It's official. If I never knew it before, I know it now. I am a stress eater! 12 hour days at work transalates to me eating terrible, snacking a lot at work, and on top of it doing no exercise but instead falling into bed tired as all get out. I acknowledge my problem. Step 1. I am now counting down to Hawaii and a bit of time off. :)

Time marches on...

Work continues to be super busy. The thing I am counting down towards is my one week in Hawaii, coming up just over 2 weeks from now. I can hardly wait! Not only because Hawaii has for some reason caught a piece of my heart (enough to want to visit), but also because I can't wait to get a break from work!

I popped into town on Saturday and happened to spot "What Colour is Your Parachute" for $2 at book shop, marked down from $44.99. What a deal!! I have heard this book was a good one to read if you were job hunting or career changing. I am open to both at the moment.
One of the interesting concepts the book talks about is what values you want your life to serve- it goes through a big list- like mind, body, senses, heart, will, human spirit, entertainment, possessions, and the earth. It is an interesting concept because I can look at other people I know and clearly see where some of their value systems lie- for example the personal trainer friend who has body as a passion, or the artists who have senses, or the academics who are passionate about knowledge. I think I'm a blurring of a number of them- including will (focus on justice, honesty). To some degree my audit work was consistent with this value- trying to provide honest sets of financial statements, however it still was lacking in something. It's a little tricky to analyse all your thoughts and motivations- but an interesting study.
