Where have I been hiding? #tookabreak #familytime #newbeginning

I haven't been blogging like I used to, and have been spending most of my time with family and friends. Time sure passes fast, and so much has happened since the last blog post. Where do I begin? Well, me and my family had a wonderful holiday season and a promising New Years Eve! What does the new year hold? I like to think of it as a new beginning, a fresh start, and I'm ready for it with the coming of spring.

Things were going fairly good up until last week. I was going about my usual business of being at work early, working through my lunch break to complete stuff, and boom... I get fired without cause. Ya right... my boss hated me and was on a power trip. I guess I wasn't allowed to decline something ten minutes before the end of my shift, even though he regularly leaves work early... and I'm talking 1pm on a regular basis. I was working 9.5 to 10 hours daily just to get things done, and was doing more than my job description stated. I covered for people when they were sick, was there even during snow storms... and early. It's maddening how I wasn't appreciated via my boss, and how him firing me fucked the girls in the service department... they're now swamped.


Good news, the service manager from my last job... won't name any names or companies, but he helped me find a new job in the same field. So what had me crying a week ago, was a true blessing in disguise. I start my new job tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to a fresh start with another company... the competition! I was loyal to the last pest control company, and I will give my all to the new one. I'm praying that this will be my last stop until I'm grey and old... which keep in mind that I will be 29 forever!

With this new job, I will be staying at moms for the whole week, since it's located in Markham. It's a 10 minute drive from moms, so it's easier to just stay here... especially since she's looking after my daughter during the day. I'm looking at possibly biking to work once the weather becomes nicer... which means I'm looking to get fit. It's been a long time since I've ridden a bike, and slightly nervous to get back on one... I haven't been on one since high school. My goal is to be able to ride one come this spring, so I can save money on bus fare.

My daughter just woke up from her nap, so that means this post must come to an end! Wish me luck on my first day tomorrow.
