The One About My New Job & Time Travelling.....

So my good news..... I've got a new job! I couldn't say before now because I needed to hand in my notice first but now I can tell everyone!  I've been worrying all weekend about how my boss was going to take the news, but I needen't have worried, he claimed he knew I would be off soon anyway, although how he knew I have no idea.  He must have just sensed I wasn't happy for the last few months.  Anyway, new job in a month (oh what a pain it is working notice) new start.  Its doing more of what I enjoy (thats working with numbers) its closer to home, so no more hour long commute yey!!!!!  And no more of the mad management that sends us all away for three days to talk about the organisations 5 priorities (just an excuse to get drunk really!).  So I'm going to be counting down the days for the next month now :)

This week whilst I wait for Beyond Blogging for Scrapbookers I thought I would revisit one of Shimelles other classes 'My Freedom' which ran a couple of years ago, but which I didn't really finish!  So, today I'm thinking about where I would go if I could travel through time. Hmm... Sometimes I think I'd like to go to the 17th Century, when Pride & Prejudice was set, and wear the pretty dresses, and go to all the balls.  But then I think how boring it must have been for the women, waiting to get married, and not having any gainful employment.  Or else the 60's when everything was more relaxed and wore flowers in their hair (I still do wear flowers in my hair by the way).  Sometimes I think it would be interesting to go back to when my mum was in her early 20's and see what she was like then before having my brother, sister and myself.



So, if you could travel in time where and when would you go to????

Congratulations on the new job! I think I might like to time-travel FORWARDS about 50 years , to see what the world and my family are like when I'm gone!

Congratulations - so exciting!

And I would like to see the dinosaurs. But mainly I would like to zip around in my own personal Tardis so visit LOADS of times and places.

Congratulations on the new job!

I think I really should have been born in the Twenties so I could wear a flapper dress and a cloche hat

Way to go on the new job...hope it's everything you're looking for.

In terms of time travel, I think I'd like to go back to the early 1930s to meet my grandmother. She died very young, but all her children always spoke of her with the highest regard, so it would probably be well worth my time.

I'd love the Victorian era but you can bet your bottom dollar that I would end up as a poor scullery maid rather than a lady in a fabulous dress!

Good luck with the new job, all sounds like a step in the right direction. As for time travel, I'm with Miss Smith - I want the Tardis.
