New Gig

During all the craziness lately, I somehow managed to keep my head on straight enough to get a new job. It wasn't exactly straight forward either, oh no.....

Right after I was laid off I had an interview with Company A, who was my first choice in town. It went well, but they didn't want to hire me and let me go right away - which I totally appreciate.

So I approached a few other places and ended up with an offer of a 3 month contract with the company I used to work for in Vancouver, Company B. This was a really good option.

Literally at the same time I was negotiating with Company B, another job interview came through. I put Company B off for a couple days while I explored Company C. This meeting went well too, but they were in the same position as Company A.

The next day Company A approached me with an offer of contract work.

I just want a simple life.*

I got new shoes! Sigh.....


So I'm starting next week with Company A - my first choice!

I'm excited but seriously needed this week off to recover from everything that's happened. I've been getting a few things done, but also spending some time curled up with blankets, movies, sewing and a good book.


One of my favourite workmates was also hired at Company A. We're really stoked to get to work together, I've never started a job with a familiar face!!

*Don't worry, I only had a small pity parade about having too many opportunities.

CONGRATULATIONS!! So happy to hear that you managed such a quick turnaround... and with your first choice company to boot! I'm hoping this new place will be AWESOME for you. After all the crap you've put up with for the past while, you totally deserve it! (And even if your life had been totally crap-free before, you STILL deserve an awesome job with a top-choice company.)
