Job- more details

♥ So. I left the house in plenty of time this morning- I wasn’t sure how long it would take me to get to where I was going with the traffic and everything. Turns out it was about an hour and a half commute and I ended up being half an hour early. Ed and I chatted- he sent me a good luck text and kept me entertained for a few minutes before I went in.

I’m fairly certain they knew they were going to hire me before I even got there. It wasn’t even really an interview at all! This has happened to me a few times before, but I wasn’t expecting it this time. I was totally prepared- I spent a few hours last night going over possible questions and writing out great answers… didn’t need any of them! The guy who interviewed me was very nice and he told me about the job (and totally sold it.. it sounds pretty good!) and then collected my information (copies of my diploma, FA/CPR certs, etc) and I had to fill out a form for a reference (which I already worked out with Kirsty from the ASP). I filled out a page of questions that were ridiculously easy and then asked the "interviewer" my questions and that was literally it. I was in and out in half an hour and scheduled to go back tomorrow at 3pm to meet the managers and schedule some training shifts.

I’m not handing in my resignation tomorrow though, only because I want to actually meet these managers and make sure I do have the job. I mean, I’m pretty sure I do- I filled out an availability schedule and I’m supposed to bring a receipt for my police record check tomorrow. Kirsty texted me just after noon and they had already called her and she’d given a reference.

So bizarre.

♥ Not looking forward to the morning tomorrow. I have NO idea how to handle seeing my supervisor. She’s going to ask me about registering the people I’m working with for bowling at the end of the month and I can’t commit to taking anyone if I’m planning to give my notice! I don’t want to give my notice until I’m certain this new job is set… I don’t know what to do! She’s going to ask me about setting up meetings with the parents too, which clearly I haven’t done because I’m planning to leave…

♥ It also occurred to me that I may have bit off more than I can chew. I mean, I want this job, I want the hours and I want something in Ottawa because I EVENTUALLY plan to live there (or close to there)- but for now, it’s going to KILL me. It’s shift work- so I’ll be starting some days at 7am- meaning I’ll have to leave my house by 5-5:30 so I’ll have to get up at 4. UGH! I can do 3-11 shifts, but then I won’t get home until almost 1am… I also will have to work weekends and holidays- which I’m not used to at all. There are definitely things about this new job I’m not looking forward to and it’s going to take time to adjust. I hope I can make a butt load of money and move there sooner rather than later. I’m going to have to tell them not to book me for a 3-11 one day and a 7-3 the next. 

♥ I realized today that I’ll have my period on Valentines day, which totally fucked up my plans with Ed. Dammit.
