My secondment here at Tourism ends September 27th. Which means I have about 4 weeks to find myself a new job, or else return to my old job, which, after serious consideration of all consequences, I’ve pretty much decided I Will. Not. Do.

So, it’s find new employment or start being a full-time housewife in Weston, possibly getting a part-time sales position at Future Shop or working cash full-time at the Snail, or else writing the Great Canadian Novel/Comic Book Series. Not that I would mind a career in retail (or more time to work on artistic projects!), as I’ve done it before and could do it again. However.

As Snoop Dogg says, you’ve gotta “make money, money, make money, money, money”… I’ve become rather used to my current degree of cash-flow, and it would be difficult to gear down and relinquish my sweet, sweet income and benefits package without a fight.

I’ve been applying for government jobs here and there over the past few months: communications officer, correspondence writer/editor, web inquiry officer, administrative co-ordinator and good ol’ secretary. And finally, yesterday I got a bite! I have an interview on September 9th at 2pm, for an Administrative Co-ordinator position. AND today I got an unsolicited phone call from a company who saw my (newly updated) resume posted on Monster.com, so after months of nada, zilch, zip, suddenly it’s job offers galore! It never rains but it pours.

Everyone please keep your fingers crossed that I get a new job so that I can remain solvent and online.
