I've had maybe 90 minutes of sleep tonight. Not sure what the deal is, but asthma and nausea keep waking me. It's probably a mix of oppressive heat and anxiety over my shitty, shitty job.

Today is supposed to be my second day of work, and I just called in to say I couldn't make it. They want me to call back in two and a half hours, when the managers arrive. Urgh.

I got a call back from the gym. Another candidate was chosen. I've still not received any EI, beyond the first cheque way back in April. I keep calling them, and they keep saying someone will call back, but no one has contacted me yet.

Bureaucracy and unemployment/underemployment can suck my big, hairy cock.

I've seen the pics of you in the bikini. You "tuck" well...

I learned it all from The Crying Game.

I look forward to reading what was so shitty about
the job, but I do not wish that job on anyone. I
am sorry you are having so much trouble. What the
heck is wrong with the EI people? In my experience,
UI looked easy to get, and EI even easier if you
had proof of previous employment.

It all went to hell because I had to go back to NB for that month from hell. While there, I was unable to file my reports because the code numbers I needed were still in Ontario. So when I returned, I had to plead my case, and they took their sweet time reviewing my profile.

I just took an underpaying temp assignment to be free of the worries/guilt of having no job (for a month, anyway).

I can't help with the heat, or any other worries you may have. But maybe you could make a deal with yourself to work there only 2-3 months, and then you can quit even if you haven't found a better job yet? Sometimes the lame jobs have the coolest co-workers. I hope that's the case for you this time.

I hope your dance lessons take off. Have you looked into the logistics of being an independent personal trainer (employed by the client, instead of the gym)? That could be extra cash now, and a stepping stone to a gym job later.

Oh, I have no plans on staying here for long. As soon as I can find something better, I'm out of here.

I couldn't do the personal trainer thing until I obtained my certification. And right now, I can't really afford the training. So once again, it's on the back burner. Sigh....

Fuck yeah, Girl. Tell me where I can get a big hairy cock too so that I may force bureaucracy and unemployment/underemployment to fellate me.

Why, thank you! I like you, too!:)

That's terrible news! I had no idea that the EI boobs were giving you the run-around. It seems that your real job could be getting EI to send you some dough.
I will cast a spell on them all and turn them into caring, highly efficient cogs that absolutely HAVE to help you because all the sudden they're compassionate too. ZING!
There! Give them a call tomorrow and see if anything has changed.

Bureacracy in general is out to get me.
