4 Day Weekends!

I just noticed I didn't make it public on my blog....

I Quit the Call Centre job a while back! ( big applause for me)

I much preferred the money from having 2 jobs, but I didn't like the stress of juggling them and little flexibility. It can really build up the stress a person feels. So it was time for me to pick one of them to leave. One was dead end, offered me more hours, but bad pay and killed the soul. The other offered great experience, a maximum of part time hours, pay that equaled 35 hours at the other job.At the end of the day, you can walk away feeling that you made a difference.

I now have a job helping immigrants to find employment 3 days a week. It's paying me a lot more than the call centre was, But I'd prefer at least one more shift so I can save some money.

This means I have 4 day weekends, but not much pocket cash to spend ( or save). I am determined to do something with these weekends that is productive. But it is hard to do that without spending a fortune.

Last Weekend I got out to see my first ever 3D movie at the Famous Players Imax Theatre in Missisauga. It was all my sisters idea, ( thanks Shannon) it was good to get out with her and Drew, I hope she'll come out with us more often.

This Weekend Adam and Jen Reserved tickets for us to see the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I have been looking forward to this movie since I first got wind of it being in production. Hanging with Adam and Jen is pretty fun, Jen's got a great sense of humor ready to go and do anything, as long as it doesn't involve heights, and Adam is always filled with ideas and always comes up with interesting things to do.

4 Day weekends aren't all about movies though. They are about getting laundry done, Cleaning up the house, visiting Family, helping my grandmother and I'm hoping they also mean more time with friends. Today Drew and Kevin are gonna get together and fight. I havn't seen Kevin and Kerri for quite some time. We used to get together every weekend for these amazing dinners, a little harder now that they live in Kitchener.

Amanda has asked for us to maybe come visit her next weekend. I'm gonna try to get out there. London has lots to explore. Drew might have to work, so I'll just Bus it if I can go.

We also hope to get out to Oshawa sometime around the New year to Visit Chris, Charleene and their new Daughter Breanna. I haven't seen them in so long, Chris is the sort of person you can talk hours and hours with on a lazy weekend night,that is until you realize it's 4 in the morning.
