One more week to go...

I've only got one more week to go! Only 5 mores days at my current job! Unfortunately my final week will continue to be painful. I'm just too efficient! I got to work for 8am this morning, was finished my work by 10:30am, went for an hour-long walk at lunch, and now I'm sitting at my desk waiting for my clock to say 4:00.

I absolutely HATE being bored at work. I wish I could leave but my boss says we can't because "a problem might arise and we need you to be here if that's the case." Well, no one ever calls! It's Friday afternoon...the stores are too busy to be calling me...and if they do it's normally something silly that they could solved on their own had they read their store mail. Egh!!!

Believe it or not I actually started my Christmas cards this week. I bought them into work on Wednesday and Thursday and did them during the afternoon because I had tons of free time on my hands. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so good at this job. Lol...

I'm not asking to leave early everyday, but leaving an hour early on the odd Friday would really be nice.

Oh well...only one more week of being totally bored!!!
I can't wait....

Great news...a new job!!!

Great news...I got a job in Barrie! Rather than commuting 1.5 hours to work everyday I will be working locally. My new office will be a 5 minute drive and in the summer I could potentially walk to work. I'm so excited!

Although it's a bit of a pay cut, it's totally worth it. I'll be a lot happier as I won't have "road rage" and I'll be saving myself a lot of time each day. I may continue to work for TBS but if I do it will only be once a week in one of the Barrie retail stores. That will be enough to supplement my income, ensuring that Josh and I are financially okay.

My first day will be November 26th--my birthday. What a great birthday present to myself. :)

I hope this job will be challenging and rewarding because I'm constantly bored in my current position at TBS.
