Thanks to all those people out there that were so positive about my finding work... Your good vibrations really paid off, and today I had my first work day since returning to Canada. I have started work as a "landscape maintenance worker", ie I cut grass and pull weeds all day. Hey, it's a job, right?
Actually, I had a really good week last week, and was offered another position as well. This was through one of the agencies I signed up with. It was a warehouse/factory position, and while it was slightly higher paid than the job I took within "landscape maintenance", I decided that it would be better to spend the next few months outside in the bright sunshine and beautiful southern Ontario summer weather than in a stuffy, hot warehouse. Plus I get free golf at my new job when I'm not working, and at the regular price of $90/18 holes, I think that's a pretty good bonus for working there.
So today I got to play with a gas powered leaf blower, a gas powered "power broom", and I got to drive around a little golf cart laden with tools. This coming Saturday I'll be trained to drive a ride-on mower, a ride-on rake (I don't get it either...), and other crazy "landscape maintenance" machines.
Yay me, I have a job! Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough money by the end of it all to make my move out west to BC, where my heart and mind live. Bring it on!
