So, I talked to my boss yesterday about getting overtime or time off. Needless to say she wasn't pleased. She said that this is the first time anyone has ever had an issue with their policies (not true). She said that in my contract it says that employees are expected to volunteer their time and that if I expect to be rewarded for working hard ( Read more... )

Sigh...what a day. I had some friends in town this week which was SO nice. I really miss having friends ( Read more... )

I am getting settled in Toronto. I am super busy and I like that - even though I have no friends. But Molly is in town this week - yay to my first visitor ( Read more... )

That also coincides with the ending of my probationary period if I were to take the position and they could put in for a raise at that time. Can you ( Read more... )

Plus one of my references said he would call me if he heard from them....and he never called. So....I really don't think I got the job. All that wondering and worrying about salary for nothing! :) Figures ( Read more... )
