So, I've just had my first full week in
As for my apartment, it's great now. There’s a long story with regards to the condition the apartment was left in and the fact that Liz left half a room’s worth of furniture expecting us to store it for her, but I don’t need to get into that now. It’s great now and that’s what counts. I am living with Katie, my best friend from home, and Aaron, who is the cousin of a friend of Katie’s (Liz, perhaps now ex-friend of Katie’s due to the way she treated this apartment). Aaron is super fun and so is his girlfriend. He just comes on weekends to visit his family in
I got a job finally! I got it through a temp agency so it’s for 3 months but could lead to a longer term position if they like me. I just had my first day today. It’s a financial company that advises people and helps them manage assets with regards to building condos or affordable housing. I’m the office manager (receptionist/secretary/person who greets people at the front desk). It’s a small company (there’s 20 of us in the office) and it seems pretty laid back and everybody was very nice. And, I get $13 an hour, which is pretty good (even if it is less than I got at Beadniks). Oh and I ran into Trevor Marshall from Skidmore on the subway home, he lives 1 stop away from me, crazy! I mean I figured the odds of running into someone I know either from Skidmore or home were pretty good, but it was nice to see someone else who had a hard time finding a job too.
