I was just reading my last post ... So much has happened since then !
My week off was just that ... One week. I interviewed for a new job on the Tuesday after I left, had a callback saying I got the job on Thursday, signed my papers on the Friday and started the Tuesday after the long weekend .. August 5th.
I can hear you already ... where do you work now ?
My new job was Office Administrator for Tiger Courier Inc. We pick up and deliver freight all across Canada, and my job was to make sure call-ins were taken, freight was traced when it went missing, the drivers delivery manifests were uploaded and printed every morning, etc.
I say was because my boss left the company on the 29th of September, and I took over the branch. It's now MY Office. I still do all of those things I was doing before (because I haven't found my replacement yet), I also look after the hiring (Office, loading dock and drivers), A/R and A/P, and i'm on call evenings and weekends.
The best part is the hours. Monday to Friday, 8-5. I come home for lunch everyday, and i'm home in the evenings and on the weekends with the family. It took some getting used to, but I think it's a good thing now. I've popped into HD since I left and have seen some of the faces I miss so much .. but it's weird going in there now. It's amazing how many new people have been hired. New procedures are in place, things have been changed around .. it's just not the same.
Ah well .. life goes on !
