As it runs out, I'm not as bad at interviews as I had once suspected. It's been a month since I started working at Sassy Beads. So far I've had my up and downs. I find it's a fairly easy job with not a tone of stuff to do which is good for me, at least while I'm still in school anyways. I just wish that the management had more time to train me. I came in in the middle of bridal season so I haven't had a lot of one on one training like many of the other girls have had in the past. It also doesn't help that my manager is away at the moment for familial reasons and I don't exactly know when she'll be back. I just hate feeling useless...I'm going to stick it out for a while and hopefully during the school year it turns out to be exactly the kind of job I need to earn some extra cash and not drive me totally crazy given the fact that this year is going to be insane for me.
On another note, my boyfriend recently broke up with me and to be honest given that this is my last year in school and I don't know where I'll be afterward I don't think it's the worst thing that could happen right now. I mean I'm obviously hurt a lot but I'll eventually be ok. I have my good days and my bad days and I know eventually I'll be ok:) I mean if someone comes along this year then great.. but I'm not going to go out looking right now just cause I don't know what is going to happen when I'm done school. All I know is I'm looking forward to the new school year and bigger and better things to come.
Speaking of new and better things to come I feel like this year is going to be a year of transitions for me. At least I hope so. I don't think I want to be in Ottawa for the rest of my life. I want to work for a magazine and there really isn't very much that Ottawa has to offer in that regard so I'm hoping to end up somewhere like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal or somewhere in the States like Cleveland (where Alternative Press is located) or Boston, New York or LA. I really hope things go well and I can get a placement at a magazine and I get to eventually do what I love and get paid for it..write! We'll see what this year brings for me despite the breakup and the semi-minor issues at work..I have a (hopefully!) good feeling about this year.
