new job?

Job hunting blows. Especially having to update the resume. The worst part is the cover letter. Yawwwn. Actually, no, the worst thing about job hunting is when people say "pound the pavement." Eww. Don't say that. It's ugly. Even uglier than when people say "dry hump." Hahahah. Ew. That is really ugly though.

The good news is that i now have my name on the supply teachers list at the day care, which happens to be around the corner. It also happens to be where my good friend/roommate is employed. She used to be a supply, but since she's actually certified to teach, she's been hired to a full time position as a support worker. You know, for kids who are challenging. They, the children, are not necessarily challenged themselves. They're just difficult, need some extra help, or attention. So, sounds good right? It also happens to fit quite nicely into my new life plan. How convenient. I should have considered this before as an option! Why hadn't i? I know that to do what dee does, you need to be certified to teach, which i am not. But, if you can believe it, i am finished university. And i have spent time with children in an educational environment. I can do this part time, and do something else part time as well, ya? So right now i have a very non kid-friendly resume that needs to be completely revamped...should make for a fun afternoon task. And then tomorrow i get to go request a police check for myself! Yay.

no job

Tuesday morning i was abuptly let go from my job. Not in bad way, i didnt get myself fired or anything. Basically my position just no longer exists because thats the only way it works for the company and the rest of staff. Which is okay, because i was fixing to start looking for different work anyway. But its still kind of a slap in the face! You know? Suddenly months of plans have to be changed. Im back at square one. Weird feeling! I've only ever been back at square one because ive chosen it. Or at least i was given plently of time in advance to prepare, not that i always used that time efficiently, but i still knew it was coming. In a way i feel a little animosity towards them. I shouldn't, it is just business afterall. But it feels personal. My whole life is effected by it. But im a lighthearted person, im not depressed, i dont feel like my heart was torn in two, and you know, my gut tells me this really is for the best. I already feel more relaxed knowing i dont have to ever go back, they were heavily kooky. Tolerable, but fucking irritating for us non-kooky folk. My problem was i never fully understood their overall way of doing things. The rules, the management, the way they pushed the tiers of power. I wonder if they saw it in me? That i didnt agree? I was never outward with it i dont think? I accepted and ignored it at the same time, and i even sometimes played along for the sake of keeping my job. But maybe im not such a great actress. The worst part about it all is that i knew they were sneaky and underhanded, i always said there was something weird. Honestly, i should have been able to see it coming. If i was smart, i would have left as soon as i acknowledged their insanity, or at least began preparing to leave. But...no looking back! New job please! Its difficult though, tourist season is over. Christmas season isnt too far behind, maybe i'll go home for 10 days and ride out the slump. Revibe myself back in London, get my head straight, see some friends, and then return with a new attitude ready to start the project. I'll be broke though. Maybe that feeling of desperation will push me even harder. I think it would all be worth it. I have to make a quick decision here.... Is this the time to be spontaneous? I think it might be. I need to get out of here for a bit. The irony of the circumstances and timing of my dismissal is annoying. Jokes on me this time, but im not laughing. Switching up my calendar will be good for getting this out of my head.

Im going to look at flight prices and maybe be out of here next week?
eeeeee...im kind of excited!
