Interview next week

I have an interview next week with Upstream Marketing, who are based out of MUN campus. They said they liked my writing and want me to come in to speak to them.

So, keep your fingers crossed that it works out. I am going to try and do up a small portfolio to bring them, and I have been looking at their client list and the work they have done so far.

Hopefully soon I will be saying goodbye to 6am shifts and sore feet.

Two weeks done

About to begin Week Three at CT.

It's been hard (physically) so far. My feet and back are hurting a lot. I am still not liking the 5am start to my day. But, I'm going to hang in there. I got paid Friday, so that helped take some of the sting out of the negativity.

One of the two jobs I was hoping for is no longer an option. I am still waiting to (not) hear back from the second. And I am always on the lookout for a writing job.

If I can get through the summer I will hopefully be going back to MUN in September.

Week One down...hopefully not too many more to go

Week 1 at CT is over and done with.

The positives:
1) it's a paycheck (once again, because it feels good to say it, TAKE THAT, CAPITAL ONE JERKS!)
2) there are a lot of really nice people there
3) I work Monday to Friday
4) the 1st time in my life working with Dad

The negatives:
1) it's wreaking havoc on my feet and back
2) my hands are all dried out & cracked from handling cardboard
3) my shifts will be 6am to 2pm
4) I cut my finger on Wednesday & had to get 2 stitches

So it's a tie so far. I still have some slim hopes about 2 other, more suitable jobs.

Keep your fingers (stitched or not)crossed.

The job hunt is over...For now...

Had an interview at Canadian Tire today, and got the job immediately. I am starting work next Tuesday. I will be working in the warehouse (same store as Dad).

So the financial woes are soon to be alleviated.

Thank God.

That being said I am not closing the door on any writing opportunities. I will continue to keep my eyes & ears open.

Take that, Capital One jerks!
