Looks like someone heard my complaints

Wow, what a surprising day!

In the morning I was trying to rent a car for the weekend when the phone rang. The lady on the phone asked me if I was free that afternoon for an interview. Of course, I am always ready for an interview!! On top of that the company was a few blocks away from my apartment. As soon as I hung up the phone I ran to my bedroom and tried to find a nice dress to put on and did a bit of research on the position/business I recently applied for. I`ve sent a lot of resumes and sometimes I don’t remember what the job is all about per say. Turns out it was for an significant dance company here in Montreal and the pay check was good too.

My interview was with two pleasant ladies asking me questions and it went very well. I was feeling very confident with my answers and the tasks for the position. At a certain point, they asked me to leave the room and five minutes after they told me with a big smile that I had the job!! I felt 10 pounds of stress drop off my shoulders. The lady who had called me gave me a tour of the place and presented me as the “new-soon-to-be” employee. Why she was calling me this way? Well, I discovered that to be able to get the position I need to be eligible for wage subsidies. It basically meant I needed to run to my local employment center and try to get a rendezvous asap!!

After waiting there for more than two hours, I found out that the earliest time for my rdv was going to be on October the 27. (which is way too far!!) After few phone calls I was able to get one on the 18th but I am really hoping to see my agent next week. Now I am just hoping and praying that everything will go well. I had too many bad experiences in the past with people who work at my local employment center and this time I can’t afford a new negative experience.

This is how my long Thanksgiving week-end has started. Tomorrow morning, Lover and I are hopping in the car and heading southwest to London Ontario. Nine hours of driving,talking, laughing and peepee-stop to eventually go see his family. I wish you all a wonderful weekend with your families and whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving or just hanging out.
