Here’s to new starts.

I've had severe writers' block recently. Not because I don't have anything to write about but because I think that there are certain people out there that need to move on with their lives but somehow, they seem to keep tracking me down. (despite all the *new* accounts I've made) I have no real proof of this but there are just some strange coincidences that keep happening and I can't think of anybody malicious or crazy enough to do them except one person. Am I full of myself? Maybe. I refuse to let them get to me though. I mean, people keep telling me not to take things personal and I've given the advice myself countless times to people I love to also not let things get to them. So I just need to go with the flow. I can't stop them from being crazy. I can't help that they can't let the past go, but I have. I did let it go, I have moved on and I have no plans on looking back, much less going back.

With that being said, I'm back at my parents house ~ temporarily. I called a staffing agency about two weeks ago, applied online, then went to meet them in their office face to face. It was a Friday and they said everything on my resume looked good. Yea I've heard that before. Monday the staffing manager called me and asked if I was able to interview the next day. Sure. I get all the necessary info, trek over to their office, do all the formalities when I'm asked to come in the next day for a second interview.

I'm thinking to myself, why can't I talk to her today? But whatever, I agree to it and that's that. The next day I dress up again and trek over to their office again and after this interview I'm asked if I can start immediately!! Woah!! Excuse me?

I had already made plans for that morning but sure I could start after I got my stuff taken care of. Basically, I've been there a week already and no surprise just like the last admin job I took they found out rather quickly that I'm over qualified for what I'm doing so they assign me a project and asked me to have it done today.

I finished my project before I left work today and had the final print in the appropriate hands. Too bad they were not in the office to see it. Isn't that always the case? Oh well, tomorrow morning or afternoon rather, I'll know for sure what they think of my work. One thing I know for sure they really have loved the drafts I've presented to them. All I keep hearing is how 'professional' it looks, which makes me grin ear to ear.

Maybe after I get the appropriate money cushion saved up, I can head back to the city and try my job hunt again. I mean after all I lowered my standards so it seems that I'm an inept invalid and any monkey can do the job of an entry level admin, but hey ~ if they're already that impressed with me here, I can get shining reviews for my next job, right?
