Purr request, good stuff, and where I've been
People may have noticed my absence/sporadic presence lately so here's
an update for everyone.... I moved halfway across the country last summer and quickly got a job at a law firm. Unfortunately, six months in, my employer and I mutually hated one another. I couldn't do anything right, and they couldn't spare time to teach me. I was fired "without fault," basically stating that while I was professional and worked hard, I didn't belong there. Because the firing was not my fault (ie due to misconduct on my part), I was able to go back on Employment Insurance, which I did. I had interviews, which didn't work out, and took a part time minimum wage job in May, working nights at a hotel. I loved the job, but couldn't make a living on the pay without EI supplementing my income to a basic living wage. My EI runs out on Saturday. Today: Job Interview: 8 am Hiring: 10 am Begin Working: 11 am Still kinda bewildered. I just fell into a full time job (30-35 hours a week, borderline full time I guess, but enough.) It's a one year maternity leave contract right now, but the person I'm replacing says she's considering if she wants to return to work at all or become a stay-at-home-mom. Tomorrow's gonna stink too....12-7 at the new place, 11-6:30 am at the hotel, 7:15-1:15 at the new place. Just when I thought I'd broken the caffeine addiction... I'm going to get rid of my Thursday night hotel shift ASAP, go down to one night a week ASAP (my boss at the hotel knows this) and if they can't help me out, I"m going to resign. I really don't need a part time minimum wage job to live on any more, though if I can swing one shift a week on Friday or Saturday night, I'll gladly take the bucks because...my hotel job is mostly about watching security cams and answering phones and doors, and I'm actually encouraged to read books draw and drink their tea while on shift. Anyway, I'm now the office manager for an alternative health care clinic offering network-spinal-analysis chiropractic, craniosacral, massage therapy, and infrared sauna. DP is much amused. I'm going to start digging a trench in the living room for the inevitable medical-scientific-establishment vs the arts of alternative care war that's coming. I'd like some purrs that this position works out for me. I'm honestly scared that, considering the disaster that was my law job, that everything might stink all over again--and I don't have enough hours to get EI should this job not work out for me. I think this is a much better environment for me, but I'm still a little gun-shy. --Fil Things happen fast. Interview: 8 am Hiring: 10 am Begin Working: 11 am Still kinda bewildered. I have literally three days left on my Employment Insurance and I just fell into a full time job (30-35 hours a week, borderline full time I guess, but enough.) Tomorrow's gonna suck ass, too....12-7 at the new place, 11-6:30 am at the hotel, 7:15-1:15 at the new place. Just when I thought I'd broken the caffeine addiction... I'm going to get rid of my Thursday night shift ASAP, go down to one night a week ASAP (my boss at the hotel knows this) and if they can't help me out, I"m going to resign. I really don't need a part time minimum wage job to live on any more. If they can, though, I'm going to work one night a week, probably weekends, on account of the hotel basically pays me to draw, write, read and surf the net. I don't mind taking home sixty bucks a week for what I'd be doing anyway. That's good toy money there. Anyway, I'm now the office manager for an alternative health care clinic offering network-spinal-analysis chiropractic, craniosacral, massage therapy, and infrared sauna. Zodiac is much amused. I'm going to start digging a trench in the living room for the inevitable medical-scientific-establishment vs the arts of alternative care war that's coming. In other news, my income has effectively doubled so I see toys and an Xbox 360 in my future. Let's just hope this position works out for me. I'm honestly scared that, considering the disaster that was my law job at Smart & Biggar, that everything might stink all over again. I think this is a much better environment for me, but I'm still a little gun-shy. |

If you were as unhappy with your old job as they were with you, then this says more about the bad match than it does about you, personally. Sometimes it really doesn't work out even if the person is smart, skilled and has a good attitude, etc. I'm glad they were willing to see you objectively and put it on record that you are professional and hard-working and that they fired you because you didn't fit in with their company. Sometimes that just happens. And unless you've had a pattern of this happening in the past, I'd say you have little to worry about. That would be a remarkably bad coincidence and isn't likely. Good luck!! -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |
