february 2004 tuesday - february 26th, 2004 yesterday was my mom's b-day. next wednesday is mine. 31 years completed. was offered another job yesterday - a 1 month temp reception position. talked to tania last night (she finally got a phone and called from Virginia) - which has me thinking that i (possibly) should take the one month instead of the other one (covering a mat leave), only because, she said I should take a week off when i have my surgery April 5th, if i take the 1 month job, then i'll be off, so it won't matter. but, i'm going to have to call the other temp agency and let them know i'll need a week off and see what they say. worst come's to worst, i stick with the first position (the mat leave) take the week off and if they tell me not to come back (cause they'll have to get another temp, while i'm away, and they could like them better), then oh well. tuesday - february 24th, 2004 feeling good. worked on a routine for my 'Body Blast' class that i'm teaching this thursday. it should be really, really good. i'm excited to teach it. i'm either using house or chill-out music and all the moves, like 'bicep-curls' are combined with another move, like a 'knee-up'. so the work-out will be very functional because you are working muscles, 2 different groups and at the same time using balance and co-ordination. saw bub yesterday. we had some very good 'fun'last night, if you know what i mean! lol! friday - february 20th, 2004 guess what? i got a temp job! i'm estatic. if feels sooo good to know that i'll be working again and making money (to pay bills and save, save, save!). and ironically (i think that's the right word), the company is literally a 5 min drive from my boyfriends house (or should i say 'ex'? what is the right terminology to use when you're on a break, anyway?). And it's easily accessible by bus. it's a just a contract position, covering the receptionist's mat leave. but that's good. what i wanted. I can focus on saving money and paying off my debts, and at the end of the contract, i can start fresh. now, i just gotta pass my fitness exam tonight, but i really haven't studied enough and have doubts. oh well. if i have to, i can re-take it. and i'll be able to afford to re-take it if necessary (the re-take costs another $55), because now I have a job!!! wednesday - february 18th, 2004 the date is set for the exam. this friday, feb 20th. wish me luck! gotta study, study, study. it's 100 multiple choice questions, and you get 2 hours. gotta make my way downtown to Ryerson for 7:30, I think. maybe i'll check and see if temi is free, after. still stressing about the job thing. not sure if i should just go with fitness and try to find something part-time/try to get more classes or take a temp job (when they finally call me with one). i'm thinking if i get offered a job, that's better cause i'd know it's 'garunteed' hours (as garunteed as temp or temp-to-perm, can be). but if i do the fitness thing, it will probably take longer to start getting full time hours. once i do the exam and pass (i'd better), then i'll have a recognised certification and can apply at places like Goodlife and Regency. still debating. still can't decide. oh - and yesterday was my girlfriend's little boy, Siddy's 1st birthday. he's sooo cute. she asked me when i'm going to come back for a visit (they live in Florida), but i realise i'll have to hold off any travelling until i have my surgery. i'm having my gall bladder removed on April 5th, so in case an emergency situation happens before then, i definitely want to be in CANADA, where i know i can go to any hospital and get help! and, we (my boyfriend and i) are once again on a 'break'. this time is for real. feels right. until we (i) figure things (direction in life) out. although, i'm doubting if i ever will. so we discussed it, and agreed that we can see other people and if we were to meet someone and wanted to get 'serious' we would discuss that, at that time. he even gave me tips on dating! how weird is that? when you've been with some one for 5 plus years, it's a hard thing to let go. but maybe that's been my crutch. friday - february 13th, 2004 tommorow is Valentine's Day. my sister left this morning at 6am, to drive to Virginia. yesterday, met with a lady from another temp agency. she sounded very positive. hopefully. at this point, i really don't care anymore. i realise that quitting my job, didn't change anything. i've gotten no closer to finding out what my 'life calling' is. so now, i just want to find a job as fast as i can, and get back to saving money and paying bills. maybe i have to just accept that i have no purpose in life. tuesday - february 10th, 2004 going to an employment agency today. see what they say. my sister is definitely leaving this friday to go to the states to nurse. i'll miss her. maybe i can have her room (she lives downtown with 2 room-mates, who are really nice!), and her room will be empty while she's gone!(not happening, though) thinking that maybe a part-time job wouldn't be bad. then i could probably start teaching more classes at the club. hmm... tuesday - february 3rd, 2004 i'm studying to take the Canfitpro - Fitness Instructor Specialist exam. hopefully, i'll be able to do the exam either this Friday feb 6th or sometime next week. monday - february 2nd, 2004 6:30am - at the gym, 15 min on bike/45min aerobic class 10am - 3pm - studying, with a break for lunch. 5:45pm - 1hr 'dance' class/1hr advanced step class-awesomely fun classes!! 10:45pm - 40min soccer game. journal archives: jan mar apr ap |
