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
Boy is my face red now! Or rad. Ya, it’s rad too
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
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.

soooo I’m a little behind on the congrats, but I want to wish them anyways
Congrats of finally getting out of McDonalds! Man, I remember you bitching about how much you hated it back in gr 11…finally out of there!
