So for those of you who don’t know, I lost my job this week. I’m not that upset about it – I see it as a chance to do something better with my life. After all the work and effort I put in, going to California all the time, putting in countless hours of overtime (most of which I never applied for because I didn’t mind), it turns out that the company really didn’t appreciate me for how much I did for them. It was only in July that they started paying me what I believed was a decent salary for the amount of work I put in, and that was only because I found another (better paid, I might add) job somewhere else and they wanted to keep me. However, it was too little, too late. At the time I found that new job, I asked for three things to be changed, two of which they did not honour. Therefore, perhaps selfishly, the other I did not honour in return. Towards the last month of my employment there, I totally lost interest in the job. At the end of the day, in my opinion, they took the piss. I remember at my disciplinary my manager stating that he did not think I was committed, which enraged me totally. I really could not believe he had the audacity to say something so ridiculous, considering the immense amount of work I put in to them, which it turned out meant little to nothing to them. I was just a “resource” to them, nothing more.
Well, my apologies for that little rant. Anyway, now I am searching for a new, more rewarding job, hopefully closer to home. I have started tidying the house properly now, and gotten the months worth of washing out the way (eww!). The living room is looking a bit neater now, and hoovered. I intend to use this opportunity to sort a few things out, including our finances, as well as generally living a bit better.
I’ll be going to France next week to see my parent’s new house, as well as to chill out for a bit. Me and Marc will be filming a little horror short tomorrow which should be fun! Also, tomorrow evening is Turisas, and hopefully I’ll see lots of people there. However due to the stupid no re-admission policy that the Wedgewood Rooms frivolously maintain, I’ll probably be staying in the Edge of the Wedge until Turisas play – no offence to Abgott you must understand.
