Work

How to start a blogging entrance... that is the question???

Well, I have a job. After not looking for a job, but lots of people continually asking me if I'd found work yet, I can say I now have a job. Sunday arvo I finally snapped and thought I should look for a job, 2 hours later it was organised I'd start Monday night.

It's with much sleepiness that I inform people I've started packing shelves at one of the local grocery stores from 9:30pm till 4 in the morning, and its not the most interesting job I've done. Probably on par with cotton chipping but for lower pay... minimum wage for a 15 year old at McDonalds?? It is crazy the number of options the consumer is given. 13 options of whole dill pickles... plain dills, dills with garlic, dills with no added salt, dills with half the salt, dills shaken not stirred. Then the 3 different size jars, with the option of buying the name brand or the no name brand made by the name brand company.... then theres the baby dills, the sliced dills, and on and on. But the scam works. If you have so many options, peoples brains go crazy and they buy heaps of other stuff while they're looking. I always wondered why I came away with more stuff than I needed.

The one thing it has done is make me desperately look for an enjoyable job... I just find I'm too picky. I dropped my resume to a company called 'race face' yesterday. They look really good, so fingers crossed.

Besides working I have been exploring Vancouver and discovering some beautiful lakes and national parks that need to be walked in the future. I was planning to go fishing this arvo, but it's raining so maybe not. Even with 8 hours sleep I'm feeling rather stiff and tired from being up most the night... so maybe back to bed.
