Sorry so long since updating. I confess, I haven't really felt interested in updating, mostly because there's not much to say. I am currently half-way through the fifth hour of my midnight to 8 shift. If I ramble or make no sense, that is why. I find myself without anything to do at the moment and I figured I might as well update.
I've been working a number of shifts lately. Actually had 60 hours on my last (biweekly) pay cheque. Quite good considering when you sign the contract they only guarantee you 7.5 hours in a biweekly period. I would say I'm doing a good deal more than that. I can't say that I particularly appreciate all my hours though, as most of them have been on the night shift, and the rest of them a random mix of 8-4's and 4-12's, never the same shift twice in a row...except for the past three nights that have been midnight shifts. As much as I love my job, I long for some stability and dream of the day when I might work for an organization that actually closes at some points during the day. I had a rather bitter shift a couple of weeks back when I had to choose which shifts I could be available to work over Christmas...and I mean holiday shifts like Christmas day etc.
Actually, in a bit of bright news, I have an interview next week for a job at the Community Care Access Centre in Burlington. I am praying very hard that it goes well, as it sounds like a great position and I am rather anxious to have a job with stable hours.
In other news, Tim and I got ourselves a kitten a couple of weeks back. She is the absolute cutest thing as anyone who's met her will agree. She keeps me company when Tim is gone on his runs, and she is definitely great entertainment. Now if only I can teach her not to jump on my head when I'm trying to sleep...
anyway, I'm sure this is getting long and dull, so I'll close off. Till next time...
