Went for a job interview this morning. It went well, and it is the same work I was doing in Winnipeg, so my insurance background will be helpful. They emailed the agency after our meeting, saying I was great... So, should I be expecting good news soon? The only drawbacks - there are 2 - is no benefits, and no holidays. It is a 12 month contract right now. Although things sometimes change very quickly.
I can live with no benefits, for now, and there is nothing to say I can't look for something else later. But no holidays... We are planning to go "back" home in May of June. However I will cross that bridge when I get there. This job is close to home, the pay is acceptable, the work is ok. And I have not had the confirmation yet that I am the chosen one. If it's mine, then it will be. If not, another one is just around the corner.

Qui vivra verra
Reçu un appel tard hier après-midi de l'agence qui m'avait trouvé l'autre boulot: ils ont quelque chose à me proposer. Ça ressemble beaucoup à ce que je faisais à Winnipeg, c'est beaucoup plus proche de notre maison et ça commence un peu plus tard dans la journée. Hum, c'est très intéressant. L'agence doit envoyer mon cv à la compagnie et celle-ci leur dira si elle veut me rencontrer ou non. Je devrais avoir une réponse à cela d'ici la fin de l'après-midi. Entre-temps je ne suis pas très découragée, en fait pas du tout découragée. Les choses tomberont en place au bon moment. (Et puis, j'aime bien être à la maison comme ça, dommage que je doive retourner au travail.)

Expect the unexpected
I sure didn't.
I thought I had an almost perfect job, been going to work for the last month. Getting up at 6, arriving early, learning as much as I could, as it was very complex, and maybe I am just too much of a perfectionist.
Friday morning, they called me in the office, and said...blablabla, thank you very much, good-bye. Oh well, I'd rather find out after one month than 3 or 5 months, while still on probation, but very settled into the job. So here I am, back to job-hunting again. I actually would prefer to not find anything until after Christmas, at this point. And the good thing is I did get a whole new wardrobe out of this experience. And I met interesting people and did something that was completely foreign to my past experiences.
So now I go back to the gym too. Yes! Will be going this afternoon. My arm and shoulder are feeling better, too, after not working out for almost 5 months. I guess maybe my body needed that rest to recuperate. (And I'll aks them if they are looking for employees, who knows? I may find myself a part-time job at the gym.)
So off I go...
