Job hunting...

Egh!!! Job hunting is the worst! I apply for jobs, friends send me posting, I go for interviews, but I haven't been hired...yet.

I guess the positive side of things is that I currently have a well-paying full time job but I'm not challenged and I'm tired of the 1.5 hour commute to work. If I enjoyed my job, or even had enough things to do, it wouldn't be so bad. I've asked my boss for extra work and I've even offered to help out a coworker that in another department but I can only do so much. Sometimes I'm finished my work for the day at 10:30 but I'm unable to leave because "a store may call with a problem". There's nothing worse than sitting at my computer, bored out of my mind, knowing that the hwy is getting busier and busier the longer I wait to leave.

I'd love to work in the same city that I live. I currently leave at 6:30 and get home at 5:30pm but my shift at work is 8-4pm. If you ask me...that seems like too much time to be spent on the road.

Well, I'm an optimistic person so I'm convinced that when the right job comes along, I'll get it.

Hopefully my next entry will be to announce a new, close-to-home, amazing job that I'm passionate about.

P.S. If you know of any exciting openings in the Barrie, Newmarket, or Aurora area please let me know.
