After yesterday's depressing and bitter blog, I thought it would be a good idea to post a happier one.
Today has been a good day so far.
The first thing that has happened was that we received a pay cheque. I started off the morning by emailing the CEO and I told him I wasn't coming in today if there wasn't a cheque, I told him the issues I had with what was going on and informed him he needed to keep us updated. He responded informing me that he had found some money for everyone to get one cheque (some people are owed a lot more) and so to come in. So I did.
We were informed there is a good chance that we should be getting our next pay cheque on time, so that was a relief. It's not a promise, but then again, they've broken promises before. The only concern I have is that the money I deposited today will not be off of hold by Tuesday, but, if they pay us on Tuesday, that shouldn't be too much of an issue. I can also probably cash the cheque at CashMoney (I'm so done with Moneymart) which would cost me about $50 or so, but at least I'd have the money available right away. I think I will sell the couch still, and post up for my bed to be sold for Tuesday, just in case but the good news is the computer is staying put, for now.
If that didn't cheer me up a bit, Alec brought me some leftover pizza for lunch. I swear, it was the best pizza I've ever had! Not only that, I splurged for a $2 bottle of orange juice, and it was magnificent. Oh sweet nutrients, I missed you so.
Then, I got an email. From the company I interviewed with a few weeks ago. They said I had been chosen as a finalist and that they wanted me in for a final interview. That date is set for October 6th. I was giddy! This a small company, located near Cherry Beach. When I walked in a loved the atmosphere and the people I met. I was told it would be a busy job, something I want. Perfect! Did I mention that next door to this office they had go-karts? *laughs* I swear I'd be go-karting on my lunch hour.
If that wasn't enough to make me jump out of my seat, I then almost immediately received an email from another company asking me to give them a call. I spent about 15 minutes on the phone with a very nice lady named Norine, and I seemed to pass the phone interview, as she asked me to come in next week to meet her in person. OMFG! YES! Not only that, it's about a 15 minute walk from my house. I looked up the company and they seem A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I'm actually really really excited about this interview.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something will work out, and I can get out of this terrible rut and onto bigger and better things!

definitely good news. I'm going to check in with you tomorrow to see how things are going.
if you still need any help with stuff I would love to try and problem solve.
I kind of know how you feel, not entirely, but somewhat. I was busting my ass for zellers all summer, no respect, constant BS, I wasn't making enough to save anything (and car repairs were needed every time I got close) so I feel like I'm finally on the right track, although at a quick calculation of my cost of living for the apartment I want to move to, I may be losing a little bit each month, but I'll figure out a way to make it work!
so if you still need any help, I'll be there. Once I am living in Toronto (Nov 1 if all goes to plan) then we will have to get together one day again!
