better environment for me, but I'm still a little gun-shy.


Lots of purrs that everything works out for you.

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.


Thank goodness! So many times the employer will fight the EI benefits (do
employers there have to pay for that like in the US?)


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


YAY!


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...


Oh man, I don't think I could do that - but you're young, you'll bounce
back!


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.


Cool deal - I can see why you'd like to hang on there a bit - maybe earn
enough for a martial arts class or something special you'd like to do.


Anyway, I'm now the office manager for an alternative health care
clinic offering network-spinal-analysis chiropractic, craniosacral,
massage therapy, and infrared sauna.


I'd love that! Do they give employee discounts on massages? ;


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.


LOL! Yep, I can see that 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

Purrs coming that everything works out beautifully for you there!
