Searching for a New Job, Again.
I was sat at work today for four hours, twiddling my thumbs almost. I will admit it's bloody boring, it's not really very busy and when a customer comes in you virtually have to jump on them to get them to buy some sort of cream or book a treatment.
It's hard work at times because people like to know how much things cost and when they hear the price they generally seem to back off and walk out the door. I don't think people can afford to spend money on themselves anymore
I remember my old assistant manager at the other place I worked, her comment to me about me working in a spa was "Cassie, I think you will be bored!" Maybe people know me better than me? When I said this to Neil tonight he said he thought the same thing. He also asked if I would like him to give me advice for the next job.
My pay check was enough to push me into a sence of dispair, Crap it was $951.04 for the month! I went pale. I used to get around $700 for bi-weekly!
I've had to watch what i've been spending this last month and now i'm going to have to do the same thing this month. This is one of the reasons I need another job, I just don't have enough spending money. It's depressing to be honest, $100 or even $200 goes no where.
I started with asking the husband if there are any jobs at his company, there are four different offices around here. So my name has been put forward to the HR lady there. Remember it's not what you know it's who you know here. His company do have a couple of admin jobs available I checked there website.
Plan B is to fire off my resume left right and centre, i'm also considering going back to temping work. I loved my time as a temp in the uk, I could do that all over again.
So wish me luck and hopefully I'll be working 8 - 5 Monday to Friday pretty soon. Oh how's the diet going well it's pretty damn fantastic, i've lost 5lbs so far and i'm on my period at the moment. I've not touched 1 oz of chocolate I'm really pleased with how well i'm managing this. I haven't had a drop of wine near me since at least a month so i'm not an alcoholic, lol. I am still on the liver detox tables after this I'm going to not pop any more herbal tablets for a good month to give my body a break.
Overall I feel so much more healthy and the belly is getting flatter, some of my pants are loose which is a great sign i'm doing very well. Self Control and real determination has got me throught this.
I still go to BBQ parties we've been invited to, I just don't eat or drink at them, I explain before I go. Just because I can't eat doesn't mean I can't have a good time. I get a little teased but I have to do this for me and my nice new flatter belly that I want before it gets too hot this summer.
Anyone thinking of losing some weight, there is never a good time to start JUST DO IT!!!!!!! |

Temping
Cassie - Temping - this is the way in, honestly! Like you I muddled around in a few part-time jobs which barely pay more than $10 an hour and while they are OK, they will never be that fulfilling until you have donated a kidney and your firstborn, oh, and are willing to work 60 hours a week.
I temped through an agency in Calgary for all of 8 weeks before I found a nice post in one the places I was at. It's a great way to "try before you buy" !!
Good luck |
