Glen Waverly Police Academy

The Victoria Police Academy is located at 1 View Mount Road, the grounds cover about  40 acres. We attended the Academy as part of the Library Technicians group I belong to. It was call Tech on Tour. It was a very interesting place to visit.

There library is in a tempary building at the moment, they are waiting for there building (a portable) to be ready to move into. The books are housed in a long hallway at the moment, the main work room is in the main ready room of the library so the staff share with anyone who wants to use the library.

Back in OZ

Now back at home, finally got the house back in order.

Had a great time in NZ catching up with family and friends.

Back at work now, started last Thusday. Kids start on Monday.

Boys start school Friday and Monday Week.

another cold winters day

Another cold winters day in Melbourne. We got down to 2 this morning. No frost. My hands are sooooooooooo cold.

Bootcamp

At work after school at the moment we have a personal trainer coming in to help us with our fitness.

I think this is a brilliant idea. It helps us get fit, builds up our body. This means in the long run we will live long, and have less illness.

I can feel sore muscles afterwards, which means it is doing me good.

I have also starting eating less and better, because I feel better.

Winter in Melbourne

Seem like winter is here already, finding the morning a bit cold. Having to go outside and wipe all the windows on the car before I can drive off.

Rugging up nice and warm, have got the scarf out already, thinking about getting the gloves out also.

Have started putting the heater on at night as well, Have had to dry some of my washing in front of the heater at night to finish drying it off.

Graduation

On Friday night at the Box Hill town hall I graduated. I received my Advanced Diploma of Library/Information Services.

The ceremony was held at 7 pm. I had to be there at 5.30 to get my gown. Peter came to the ceremony.

6 people graduated in my course, only three of us were there.

Was nice to catch up and see what they had been up to. Both don't have jobs yet. I feel so luck to have my job. Seem like there isn't much work available at the moment, also once people get in a good job in libraries they seem to stay.

Building skills

Went with Eileen from work to a workshop at RMIT, about business skills. It is good to keep up your work skills, so things are always improving. We had some ladies who had been working before me, things hadn't been update for a number of years. You also have up-to-date knowledge to sell yourself.
