  • Imagine….

    ….life really was that simple: eat, sleep, love, be happy – but you don’t notice, because you’re to busy worrying….what a waste!

    20th – 24th September: Toronto to Digby

    After receiving virtually no feedback on my job applications over the summer, I decided to make good use of my time and take another trip to Canada.

    Conveniently, I found a cheap flight on Air Transat – and on September 20, I set off once again for Toronto.

  • 6 months later….

    ….wow, it’s already middle auf August but nothing much has changed yet.
    I guess due to summer vacation there are not much offers at the job market right now. I sent out another application the day before yesterday but that’s about it.

    JEY…….I survived Monday…

    …and tomorrow is my day off – and I don’t have a clue what to do (it’s supposed to be raining again). Maybe just go to Beacon Hill Park and to the seaside – or Butchart Gardens (haven’t been there yet)….
    But if anybody has any other suggestions, please write me NOW 🙂

    Result of the first test

    Well, it worked (of course 😉 ): instead of having to tell 80% of the people the right way to the main level it’s only 20% who wanted to turn around.

    But it was pretty busy yesterday, so my motivation left at about 4 PM and I was back on counting minutes before I was able to leave…..seems I’m not a born shop assistent after all 😉
    Boy, I’m looking forward to Tuesday, my day-off….

  • Halftime at the Christmas Village

    Halftime at the Christmas Village

    Today is my third Saturday, two more to go.
    And there have been changes. Well, not big ones but small ones.
    First of all, I changed my attitude three days ago. I decided, since I wanted to keep the job until christmas and I hated it, I could also try to learn as  much as possible. Because it is really not paying enough to be exused (or compensated) by money.

  • Preparations…

    Preparations…

    ….so, I got myself a new flight today after Michaela told me yesterday that I could be in trouble if I didn’t use the first leg in my booked Germany – Canada – Germany return flight package.
