Work-a-day

Olga on Oct 4th 2005

Hey! Thanks for all the sentiments and congratulatory pats on the back, everyone. :grouphug: To be quite honest, I thought no one went here anymore :P Boy is my face red now! Or rad. Ya, it’s rad too :D God these smilies make me want to cringe. I found some new ones that are more awesome, so be on the lookout for those. They’ll be coming shortly.

So what’s new in my life, I hear you ask? Lots of stuff! I’m officially disease free, although Gord now has taken on the burden of wrestling with that hairy woman-beast that is, was rather, my cold :D Thanks, baby. You’re awesome ;) Seriously though, let’s all wish him well so that we can go back to the smooches. Cause those are always fun!

As you can tell, I’m in a cheerful mood. No real reason why, per say, just had an okay day, you know? Those are always nice. I made it to class on time and listened to 80% of it. The windbag tends to go on, though, so the remainder of the time I spent lavishing attention on my enourmous muffin and catching up on notes from other classes that I had skipped out on :S

Last Friday I got some good news: I have a job at CIBC! I’m now officially - well, starting October 17, I will be a customer service representative. Basically, I handle all the person-to-person banking stuff, if you don’t feel like going to the ABM/ATM/whatever. Fun stuff! I actually handed in my letter of resignation to McDonalds yesterday and it was anticlimactic. There was no one there to accept it! :headwall: The head manager phoned me about a half hour later and asked me to clarify whether I meant October 3 was my last day, or whether I was letting her know on October 3 that I was resigning. :doh: Officially, my last day will be the 16th. My first day at CIBC is on the 17th! Seriously, and I just found out I got the job on Friday. All of this is moving waaay too fast.

It’s sort of nice that I got this really great job, but on the other hand, it makes me kinda cringe. Mostly because I had intended on moving to Toronto for the remainder of the school year. Now that I have this job, I can’t go. I can’t pass up such good money :greedy: I’ll be set for the summer months and maybe even after school. At the very least, it’ll be a great job to have once I graduate and I need to start looking for a “career” :X

Maybe I can get transfered to a Toronto branch after this year? I suppose only time will tell. I feel like this is a new chapter in my life. Heck, I know this is a new chapter in my life. I’m no longer working at McDonalds … do you know how happy that makes me? I’ve been bitching about that job for four years before realizing that I need to actively do something about it. Now that I’m leaving though … I can’t help but be scared. I’ve never left McDonalds. :headwall:

    CONGRATULATIONS! YEAH STICK IT TO THE MAN! You spelled Lord wrong, you put “gord” XD.
    So like, which CIBC, I’m totally going to stalk you =D

    Is CIBC same as TD Canada Trust, cause for some reason I think they are the same bank, I’m weird >

    If you didn’t know that at the interview, they’d shoot you. That’s how things work in Canada.
