2003-12-12 Employed, Once More I now have a job lined up starting January 7th. It's at that manufacturing company I went to a couple of times for interviews, and they obviously liked me enough to offer me the job. They're closing for Xmas, so there's no point in me starting before the new year. I'm happy I have a job. It means I don't have to be quite so tight with my cash, and I don't have to worry about the possibility of it taking me months to find something else. But I'm also not terribly excited about it. It's a manufacturing company. The hours are 8:30 to 5:00, which is fine since those were the hours I worked at my last job, but they only give a 30-minute lunch, which isn't so great. I'm not sure if they'd allow me to eat my lunch while working (and therefore not constitute my lunch-hour) so that I'd definitely have time to go outside and have a smoke or two before coming back in to work. If they don't allow that, then it's going to be rushed lunches. No chatting for me, and that kinda sucks. I guess I just sort of always thought I was meant for bigger and better things, but then, who doesn't? Maybe this means I'm finally becoming a true-blue adult, by realizing that sometimes life doesn't work out that way. I keep hoping that something better will come up. For instance, maybe my ex-boss at the School of Architecture was hinting at an opening and they'll offer me the job. Or maybe Concordia will call me about that job I applied for. I'd love to get something else, something better, before January 7th. I'd feel guilty, yes, calling the people at the manufacturing company back to say that something has come up and I won't be working there. But I'd do it. I have way too much guilt as it is... Enough guilt to keep limiting myself to looking for jobs in Montreal only and not extending my search. Ottawa is not a place I'd really want to live. It's Canada's capital, for those of you not in the know, but it's boring. Nothing much really goes on there. But I'd have a much easier time of finding a government job there than I do here. But alas. Manufacturing company it is.. |
