The Glenelg Guru
Thursday I went into the city to see the labour hire company I work for. I needed to return a work shirt and Hi Vis (short for high visibility) vest. It was also an opportunity to physically bring in my Responsible Service of Alcohol and Police Clearance certificates with the aim of removing barriers to further employment.
They don't read emails often and when they do, their comprehension of them isn't the best. I know this because their clients complaint to me all of the time.
Proper communication is essential to any business.
I was told that it was quiet workwise due to the proximity to Christmas. I remained quiet but unconsciously glanced at all of the jobs written on the partially hidden whiteboard behind the woman I was speaking to, that I wasn't being offered.
Pausing after someone makes a statement often makes people feel guilty when they are lying and they will often cover the silence with a compromised version of the truth.
I was promised that when everything updated that there should be more shifts available and to just accept any work that pops up.
No results foundI'm still waiting...
The weather was great so I decided to head down to Glenelg Beach by tram.
Glenelg TramI stepped off of the train and into Banjo's Bakery Cafe.
Banjo's Bakery CafeIt's expensive there, but Glenelg is a tourist destination, and I guess has expensive council rates to cover.
I ordered their Cape Grim Beef and Mushroom Pie and an icy cold can of Pepsi Max and sat down to eat.

I walked around, while taking photos and typing this.

Does this make me an influencer?It's always good to take a personal time out and reflect on things. I had cause to pause, so to speak, and refocus on what I hope to achieve in the new year. Or maybe I should do away with goals altogether given how uncertain life can be. I will post my reflections on this year on New Year's Eve.
Mr PotatoWhy be a spud when you can be a Glenelg Guru?!
The Guru of Glenelg?I am, of course, kidding. I don't take myself too seriously. The ferris wheel looked like a halo to me and I found it amusing.
Take time to pause and reflect on where you are at in life and where you can improve. I hope this gave you something to reflect on and maybe something to laugh at.
Thank you for reading.
