So I've decided that this whole temping this isn't working out. I'm still going to use their services to help me find something permanent, but honestly I have to go back to London Drugs fully part time (what a paradox) out of necessity. This vacation to Mexico has really hurt me financially and I've fallen behind on several bills. But despite Mexico I've been spending weeks hanging around at home, hoping I'll get a phone call, bored out of my mind and limited to what I can do in my free time because I'm so broke. I'd may as well be on welfare at the rate I'm going. I just might get more money if I were on welfare. It's a joke. My whole situation is a joke. I've even applied for jobs on craigslist and I haven't even had any responses to those. I'm sure my resume is starting to look pretty lame since I still don't really have any experience to speak of. What I'd also like to do is sort out my CDABC membership because then I'll have access to more job postings and also get access to free CE courses and I have to do those just in case I find work, otherwise ignoring it for a year could really bite me in the ass later.
Anyway, I'm done waiting around for the temp agencies to do anything for me. I'm going back to LD. Besides I'm only several hours away from a raise and with one of the Service Specialists getting into corrections there might be some hours opening up on the desk.
And I just looked at my schedule and it appears that my prayers have been answered. Our scheduling supervisor has changed and he's scheduling me as if I've already changed my availability. This is such a relief!
Too much time off is literally a headache. If I had a yoga or gym membership I wouldn't have reason to complain, but I'm even too broke for that. But whatever. I'll be working more so it won't matter, although even just a community gym card would be nice.
Oh, and for the record I'm giving this CDA thing another year and if I don't have anything solid, whether it be part time or full time, by the time my certification renewal comes around for 2012 I'm giving up. I've always thought about aiming for supervisor within LD anyway.
