Getting Skinny Was Never This Easy!


So, I've been in Toronto for two plus months, and I've been really really broke. The job hunt has been less than fruitful to say the least. I'm concerned now that I may not be able to get a job in time. I have one months rent plus some extra to keep me up on finding a job. Where do I go now, what do I do and where do I start again? I'm looking for junior event planner spots, cook spots or even bartender positions. There seems to be a lot of job openings but still more people looking than there is jobs!

Well, I have to say that I love this city and I find that I'm being put to the crunch this month. If I don't find anything I will have to move back to Cambridge and I don't want to do that. My hopes are that as the weather warms I will be able to do some footwork and find something that is paying. I must say that not being able to afford eating properly is giving me back my physique, although it's not the best way to earn the "fit" look at all!



The plan is to be able to go to school in September for Event Planner Certification and find a job in that field by this time next year. Co-op is mandatory so I won't be getting paid. I will have to learn what it is to work and learn at the same time. Good thing I've had fun up until now!

Also, the South Side has discontinued cheap martinis all night and now stop serving them at 10pm. Which, is kind of a slap in the face to us if you ask me. It's not a hard thing to figure out that we were the main crowd going in there every Wednesday and spending at least $150 plus a happy tip. This leads me to think that we may not be at the level of class where we are welcome to come and lounge and drink almost cost martinis. Too bad so sad!

So, tomorrow I will be heading out to get my hair cut I think at "Curl Up and Dye" then continue the job hunt. I should be able to find something quick with a decent hair cut and a bus pass to get me around more reliably than having only one or two fares for each day if that. Boy who would have thought that life would come to this hard of a road. There is nothing left for me but to go to war with it and come out victorious! I'm keeping my head up and looking to the best.
