Thursday Morning

I'm at the PO office waiting for checks. and later I'm ending canvasing early so I can come back to the office to do other admin stuff. It's pretty fabulous especially today because I'm inexplicably exhausted.

Tom Petty's Won't Back Down was playing in my cab this morning! The driver turned it up for me. Awesome guy.



Man, the one downside to sitting here waiting for these checks is that there is no coffee. and this morning it is necessary.

Working girl

Working two jobs is tiring. But it's going to be worth it in a few months. It will.

Public Outreach is pretty cool-- besides standing outside all day (which actually hasn't been that bad given the nice weather we've been having) -- it's nice to fundraise for something I actually care about (Amnesty International). The call centre seems really warm in contrast now at nights too! And tomorrow we're going to Stratford. Hometown canvasing. Should be nice.

Plus I'm getting more hours at the good ol' call centre

Space
We're getting a house! It has a giant backyard and sweet patio. And I will have a room.
And Pooja is going to make me a tire swing.

Everytime I think about how much it sucks to work so much-- I just think of the tireswing and know that everything is going to be Okay.

"Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
Gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
The sound of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings"

So it begins!

I got the job I interviewed for. It's for Public Outreach which is this place where you stand on the street and fundraise for different organizations-- specifically Amnesty International and Green Peace at the moment.

Training starts today. Luckily it's only going to be for a few hours but this week it's going to be working at Public Outreach, and then immediate going to the call centre after.

Ah well. Girl's gotta do....

One good thing though-- I found this KW Society of Artists that meets monthly. I'm going to the meeting tonight. I'm hoping it'll be a good networking/learning opportunity. :)

Must shower.
