It has been so long since last I've written in this thing. But really not much has changed.
I was working at Dawn's Bra-tique (a high end bra store) but I didn't like it so I was looking for something else. I got offered a job at Le Belle Femme (another high end bra store) and quit at Dawn's the next day. The conversation went: "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to give my notice." "Don't come back tomorrow." Bitch!
I came home from work that day to find out that Nick had been let go at Stantec because of a lack of work. Crap!
I tried to get hold of Le Belle Femme to see if I could start earlier. No answer. So I started on the planned day. I was having complications with my meds through all of this: headaches and bad, bad dizzy spells. I told them about this the first day I started. I never disclose that I'm bipolar until I'm comfortable in a place and trust the people I'm around. It makes people act funny around you. In the second week, I had a dizzy day and stayed home because I was having trouble standing. The Tuesday after the August long weekend I stayed home as well and cursed my meds. I got a phone call from them Wednesday morning while I was already on my way to work that said that they "had no more hours for me." Why can't people just say "Don't come in, you're fired"? Okay, so I got skidded due to a complication in my medication. Great. I did kind of like that job although the boss wore me out. She was to high strung and she wanted everybody else to be high strung. Oh well. Let's carry on.
Nick had an interview on Tuesday with another surveying firm. It sounds like he got the job assuming references and his drivers abstract came back okay. No problem! But not official yet. The job is out of town though. It's going to pay really well but it's 3 weeks out and 1 week in. I'm going to miss him but that will probably get covered in great detail in another post.
I went for an interview at the MacEwan bookstore yesterday. I think it went well but I will have to wait till tomorrow before I hear back from them.
Did I ever mention that I hate trying to find a full time job for only 4 months? I wish that if you were in school that summer wasn't nearly so long. A break is good but I get really bored by about 2.5 months into it.
Mostly, I can't wait until September hits and we can get back to normal.

Hey, guys, it sounds like y'all have been having a suck-tastic few weeks. I've been submerged for my thesis and I will be all weekend, but I am thinking maybe we need to hang out tuesday or wednesday, as I will have handed my thesis in at that point, and we are heading out of town on Saturdy, and will probably want to pack on Friday night.
