Sometimes I'm too nice... Or something.

So, yesterday I was working 8am until 4pm. But around 3:30 my boss comes up to me and asks me if I have a date that night (cue the blinking at him stupidly. A what?). Any way, having established that no, I wasn't doing anything, he asked if I could stay until close. What time was that? I asked, mentally calculating the money it'd earn me. Seven, he replied. And for some strange reason, I said yes.

Eleven hours of counterhanding and dishwashing. Ugh. At least I have today off.

However, when I got home, I was good and made myself type out the New and Improved Cover Letter for job applications, and sent out another five. No word on any of them yet, which makes me twitchy, but Dex told me about the ten percent rule, where you only hear back from ten percent of all applications, so yeah, won't get horribly stressed about it yet. And keep sending out applications every couple of days. On the bright side, there's a lot of jobs going.

Fingers crossed and all that.

Having done my best in the employment stakes, I then went to the pub to watch Dex watching the election results and eat bad fish and chips. Johnny turned up around eleven, by which time I was dead on my feet, so I bid the two of them goodnight and staggered off home, where it was touch and go about the throwing up for a while there. Fortunately, I didn't, and I slept probably around nine hours before reading George R. R. Martin again for a while. And now I'm going to wander either to the place where I get my health care card, or the laundry. Probably the health care card. Must remember to take the Big Honking Book with me. And then I need to practice my scales, since I've been a bad padawan this week.

Too much to do, too little time and brainspace.

Must try and call the parentals soon, see if there's a date for the wedding, too...

hey, how does one go about getting one's ontario health card, anyway? I'd totally forgot about needing to do that...

*nods* The time I was looking for a job here, I'd get maybe two replies back for every 15 e-mails I sent. So I wouldn't worry if there's not a huge or quick response. You've just gotta keep putting yourself out there and the interviews will come.

There's an application form you get either online or from the appropriate offiice. Then you provide proof of ID (there's a specific list of sorts of ID they'll take) and proof of residency (best form's a bank statement, since they won't accept most other things), and for me proof of legal staying in the country...

I can grab an extra form for you if you like. ;)

*grin* Please do - I have to figure out how to do that asap, as that's the kind of thing I procrastinate on forEVER, and well, that's a bad thing to procrastinate on...
