Hello blogosphere!
After many an apology in the spring about how little I blogged, I took a summer-long hiatus with no real mention of leaving or returning or anything.
But I'm here.
With some life changes to share with you!
This post may get a little disorganized towards the end as I have just taken a sleeping pill.
Why a sleeping pill, you may ask?
Because for one, I'm a terrible sleeper.
More importantly however, for two, I have to get up bright and early tomorrow morning to start a new job.
Let's cover that part quickly shall we?
-Move home
-Find full time job over summer
-Save money
-Book plane tickets to europe
-Visit friends, see new places
-Get job in South America
Diane's post-grad reality:
-no job prospects for over a month
-finally land 2 part time jobs, the same week
-bail on one because it was literally physically damaging
-end up with less cash then started with
-postpone travel aspirations for at least another year, by signing on for a 'big girl job'.
So here I sit, preparing for my new job.
The perks - I like the pay, I like that it's in the city, I like that it involves French.
The pitfalls - I'll be living at home for longer than planned, hour long commute, it's not in a foreign country.
I have come to accept all of the above however, in hopes that the benefits outweigh the travel delay.And again, at least I get to keep on top of my French.
Right, what will I be doing?
I am employed as a bilingual customer service rep at a large scale insurance company in Toronto.
For the next 3 weeks I go through training, learning the ins and outs of their policies, procedures and well.. insurance. Then I get to sit at a desk and answer phone calls.
WOOOT!
Aha but sarcasm aside, with the hour-long commute to and from work, I will definitely have some time to kill. That's where you come in!
I hope you don't resent me too much for leaving you.I knew I'd be back eventually, I just didn't care to fill you in on the fact, is all.
But here I am, bucking up and entering the workforce.
Bucking up and re-entering the blogosphere.
One day I will be on a plane again, but for now - I'm here with you =]
Oh, I've missed you so!
Or scold me for going AWOL. Your choice!
Talk soon fine blog-folk!
