Ugh

[shanmonster]

Guess who's no longer unemployed?

Yeah. Me.

I've just been hired on as a supervisor at a Tim Horton's. I start Wednesday. It's an enormous amount of work with shitty hours for $8.35/hour. I'd also have to take out my nose ring and buy new shoes.

Now I also have a job interview tomorrow at a gym for a managerial trainee position--my second one with them. Although this is not my idea of an ideal position (the stress is on sales, but salary plus commission for pay), it's at least in the right industry, and gives me a free gym membership. I'll impress upon them that I've had another job offer, and that I'd really MUCH rather work with them. If I'm lucky, they'll hire me right away, and I can call back the doughnut shop and give my regrets.

Why do I seem to get the jobs I don't want?

Crossing fingers you'll get the job you want!

Hooray!

Oh, wait.

Er... crappy pay, yay?

Fingers crossed for the other one.

hoo...zoo? :/

No one wants the crappy jobs, so they just get foisted off on the desperate. :/

Good luck with the gym!

I think that's a fact of life. Most people don't get the jobs that they truly want.

you never know... my room mate got crappy job after crappy job. and then BOOM out of the blue she was offered like 3 different jobs from three different media companies and one (the one she took) is with a kick ass media corperation... so you never know who may call!

because the universe wants you to write a funny memoir about working in a doughnut shop?

LOL! I never thought of that, but yeah, it seems to suit Shan to write about yukky jobs to amuse us all. Maybe you should put out a tip jar Shan, for those who indulge in your witty prose.

Okay, I was just over at my witchypoo yahoo group and this was the first thing I read. This passage may be of use to you, Shan.

But before you read that...I just had a thought...if you hadn't applied at the doughnut shop, you wouldn't have been offered a job there. I do believe that you may be extremely over qualified for that position. For now, maybe EI has to be your net while you look for more meaningful work. Good luck and I have my fingers crossed for you to get a job at which you can excel, not merely survive!

Read on, if you will.....

Yes to Transformation! Yes, yes, yes.

About Today's Affirmation:

"Yes!" is such an affirmative word! Yes to life! Yes to love! Yes to
transformation! You say "yes" with words, facial expressions,
gestures, energy, and actions. You say "yes" with your clothes, your
business cards, your food choices, and your homes. You say "yes" when
you answer the telephone, greet people on the street, and meet new
friends for the first time. You say "yes" to everything to which you
give your attention. You say "yes" even when you use the word "no."

About Your Process:

So, to what do you desire to say "yes"? The best way to say "no" to
something you do not want is to say "yes" to what you do want. As you
repeatedly acknowledge your preference for what you want, you will
find that more and more of what you want comes to you for further
refinement of choices. You still get to choose, but the Universe has
the capacity to give you enormous variety. As you are learning to
make choices, you will be aware of many things you do not want; as
your consciousness lifts you become less aware of the unwanted things
and choose from among the enormous variety of wanted things. Yes!
