Work all day.... oh wait....

So. I am now a resident of Canada.  I am also unemployed and sitting in a pub on a weekday. Why must people work, this is much more fun right? Oh ya, that whole "money" thing. Must make money to buy more yarn. Oh yes, perhaps I should get a job. 

I have been very behind in my updating you of my life. I can tell myself this is okay as I don’t assume anyone actually reads this. Some people just mosey on over from Ravelry for some free patterns and such. Ah well!  My internet at home is pretty crappy at the moment and between fighting with that to apply for jobs and navigating my way around our four cats I just haven't found the time! 

I have been quite lax on the knitting side of things. I ordered some yarn online and got black instead of dark grey so I need to wait until I get a job to fix that mistake. I’ll make something out of the black sometime soon though. Maybe for one of the gents in my life. I am making an effort at finishing my Maxfield cardigan, which I still cannot decide on how to do the front panels so I'm just plugging away at the body at the moment. 

I have been spending time on my resume, sending it off places in hopes of getting something, somewhere. Let’s hope that works out for me.  I had a meeting with an agency today and the woman was really nice. I talked myself out of the job I’d actually applied for but she seemed really positive about everything else. Plus, I talked myself out of that job by being honest and saying I wasn't crazy about working in finance again so I guess it’s better this way.

I sent in one application for volunteer work. I’m hoping that comes through fairly soon. It sounds like something I’d really enjoy.  Teaching knitting! But I have to wait for an opening in the schedule they have and then apply specifically for that time. Wish me luck on that and on a “real job”. Also if your work is in Toronto and hiring someone relatively sales/customer supporty.... haha
