Update

Since some of you were truly kind when I posted about my trials and tribulations at my job in the past I just thought I'd post an update. Tomorrow begins my last week at it and I'm thrilled. I can't wait to close the door behind me on Friday.

I'm training a poor soul how to do what I have been doing up to now and we both joke that I'll give her a recorder as a farewell present

I hope my next job will be better. I'll start looking as soon as we come back from our honeymoon and I'm settled in Barcelona. In the meantime I'll enjoy what I consider my well-deserved, albeit unpaid, holidays.

In other news, the wedding is coming up in a little over a month and I'm flooded with stuff. But it's all coming together, which is fine. Even though I have always that nagging feeling on my mind of having things to do all the time.

I have a feeling, though, that if you're able to successfully organise a wedding you really can organise anything. And God knows the weirdest stuff is happening to me

PS. I hope someone does care for this update!

I have to agree with you. I can organize million dollar engineering jobs - no problem. But when I had to organize a conference recently for a bunch of out of town people - and book flights and book dinner and hotels and make sure everyone got picked up on time - it drove me crazy for a week. It's all the social stuff that's hard LOL.

And of course we are interested in your update. I hope we get one after the wedding too - with pictures

I guess it's good that you stuck it out to the bitter end with your job. If I were you I probably would have told them to "take this job and shove it" LOL

Kathleen

glad everythings going good.

im with kathleen here btw if you don't need a reference for the job i'd tell that bitch a few home truths on your last day.

if anything at least you'll feel better about yourself, i know i would.

**** it if you still need a reference and your new employer will buy it i'll say you worked for me at the pub crawl before it shut down.

Glad to hear you're almost done with that job. I do hope you'll find something better than the current one!

Organizing a wedding is such a bitch. I can't believe that some people actually marry 5 times

lol.

I think it is only the first wedding women make a bid deal out of. #2, 3, 4, etc usually happens in Las Vegas or Hawaii without a guest list. (that's at least my observation)

Thanks all!

Kathleen - as I said to Alex over at the Picture forum I will try to post a few pictures of the wedding/reception. If only to show off my dress :P

Yeah, I don't get it either. Organising a wedding is something I only want to do once in my lifetime. I've also seen many people complaining of suffering from 'post-wedding blues' and I think that's about the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Isn't the wedding just something to go through *in order* to get what you really want (being married to your loved one)?! Personally, I can't wait to get rid of this stress and embark on our honeymoon

i'm glad i'm a guy with regards to weddings we do jack shit

a friend of mine from uni recently got married. i was out with him a few weeks before it and asked him what the meal was going to be, what the 1st dance was etc... and he said: do you think my fiance tells me or lets me have a decision in any of the wedding stuff?

he was literally pretty much turning up not knowing what to expect.

I know what you mean. Though I can't complain much. Of course having the wedding in my hometown while my boyfriend is 600 km away makes him unable to help all that much (nice excuse, huh?).

No, seriously, my boyfriend does all he can but he's busy with other things too so as I have more spare time and weddings are more for girls I don't mind doing a bit more.

I hope you have a fantastic Wedding Keeper.

And the best of luck with getting a new job aswell.
