Many changes in my life over the past month, I am not sure where to begin.
After months of not working, I am finally working – and not just one job but two!! Some weeks it is 7 days a week …… is something wrong with this picture?
I spent 4 months this year sending hundreds upon hundreds of resumes which I am sure most ended up filed under “G” for garbage. Trust me I know that happens because I was once employed as a recruiter. It is very disheartening but it is a fact. Problem with me getting work, as I have stated before is that I am over qualified for may general office jobs and the employers know that I would be bored within weeks of being hired. And under qualified for a manager’s position because I do not have a university degree, although years under my belt. Also, I really did not want to return to the restaurant business – in that business I would be too old!!
So now I have two jobs ………. not really what I was expecting to do but one has to do what ever gets you through the day! I work now at a private fishing club – The Franklin Club – doing everything from cleaning bathrooms, making beds to serving dinners. The couple that run the club are fantastic and I am getting a taste of some gourmet food from a world renowned chef! Not bad! I am also working with a local lady who has a cleaning business ……. no need to go into details of what that is all about!! I am sure I will at some point but not right now!
I now have a “house-mate”. I have lived by myself with my two border collies for the past ten years, so this is very new to me! We both needed some help, so we said “why the hell not!!”. It’s not taking much time to get adjusted to each other and everything is falling into place amazingly fast.
And I went to Cuba again!! The latest set of pictures are in the Picture Gallery – just scroll down to the last set. I will write a little about my trip on another post when I have a spare moment. All I will say now is that I had a fantastic time. Even planning my next trip – but it will not be until March of next year…..or sooner – one just never knows! One thing I did do while I was there – TWO new tattoos!!
That’s it for now ……… I think ………
