Ok quick mid-week update as I've got some news. On my way to work yesterday, I got a call from one of the recruitment agencies about a new job. Its working for the Royal Bank of Canada, which I believe is the biggest bank in Canada. The more I heard about the job, the more excited I started to get. The money's better, its a walkable distance from my house, its downtown in the financial sector, it's Mon-Fri and its 9-5. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. I'm not 100% about what i'll actually be doing but I reckon it'll prob be something pretty mundane like data entry or something. But fup it, it's definitely too good to pass on.
So after hearing all this I found out that i'd have to start work in 2 days(thurs), which isn't much notice. I told her i'd ring back in an hour with my decision. At this stage I was in no mood to go to work in the call centre but didn't want to give them the shaft as they'd all been so good to me and I didn't want to leave them hanging like that. So in I went, almost an hour late coincidently, and I told one of my bosses, Isaac, straight away. He was completely cool about it and kept bringing it up all day in front of everyone, which was pretty embarrassing. So I rang back the recruitment agency straight away and told them i'd take the job.
As it was my last day I wanted to try and sponsor as many children as I could that day. My 3 bosses were super nice to me all day and really appreciative of the work I had done. At the end of each day we always have a very short group meeting just to talk about how we're all getting on. That day we had sponsored more kids then ever before so that was quite a big deal. After mentioning that, then Isaac mentioned in front of the group that I was leaving and completely embarrassed me with all his compliments. Apparently I had sponsored more children then any of the other 20 that had started recently. Good to here that i've done some good since I got to Canada, besides getting smashed every second night. So everyone came round to say their goodbyes and again were all very nice. People seem to really like me over here for some reason. May have to stay here forever. Anyway my boss told me that I could come back anytime if I needed extra hours, which was really nice of him and I may actually take him up on it, as when i'm heading west I may need some extra cash. So I left them all, but I may be back at some stage.
I told them in the call centre that I had to start work in the new job on the following day, which was a lie, so I got to have a day off in between jobs. Brilliant decision on my part. I spent my day off finding where my new work would be and wondering around the city, again. Walked as much as my little legs could take me and then headed back to the hostel to avail of their free internet, yet again. And that pretty much brings me right up to this second. So I start my new job in the morn and will update ye folks at some stage over the weekend. It's Halloween weekend this weekend so should be good fun. Stay tuned......
