Job hunting



I spent a good portion of last week trying to calculate how many hours I have worked since finishing my schooling last October. Between taking holidays, being sick and working a pathetic two days a week, I have been struggling to fulfill the necessary 600 hours to qualify for EI when on maternity leave. I was scouring craigslist to see if I could find a decent part time job that would pay me anywhere close to my nursing wage, with no luck. I wouldn't mind waitressing until the bitter end, but the establishment where I currently work just isn't a pretty place for a pregnant lady. For instance, I am barely showing and yet, I have had trouble squeezing through many of the tight spots between tables as of late. I don't know my own hips, I run into people's chairs, throwing them off balance while they try to delicately sip steaming hot miso soup, and smoke their tables with my hips when I try to squeeze by ever so gently. And the under age youth who try incessantly to beg a drink out of me. I am now a motherly type, or at least I am trying to show my responsible side. No fake id is bypassing me, but the attitude that I am receiving and the shit tips from these youth is enough to drive me to unemployment. Not to mention the sanitation, enough said.

So I came up with a new idea. I am going to try to sell my face and bump for profit for the next few months. If anyone will have me that is. An old friend came by yesterday and out of the kindness of her heart she snapped away photos attempting to find a pretty shot amongst the blurry and awkward bunch. And ta da, her talent has prevailed. You can check out a few on her blog lalaandkiki.blogspot.com Successful or not, I can't deny that its a bit fun having photos taken all day with a good friend..
