Dilemma

I've been thinking about this for the longest time.

As many (or all) of you know, I'm already at my wit's end of dealing with my shitty boss who blatantly disrespects anybody he comes into contact with and has a complete disregard to other people's feelings.  I'm not gonna go into detail on how he treats us.  It's really THAT bad.  To the point that nobody ever smiles anymore.  Everytime he comes in, everybody just stops talking AND breathing.

I've been weighing my options for a good while now.  Should I keep sending out my resume and look for another job or go back to school and start a new career?  I want to look for another job but I've been sending out my resume for over a year now and nobody has responded.  Nobody.  It's just so damn hard to get a new job nowadays.  I've always wanted to go back to school but it's hard when you have a toddler who's still dependent on you.  I could try night school but my husband works nights many times and they have no definite schedule so it's gonna be really hard for us.  Plus, if I apply for government assistance, I can't really work fulltime because I "should" be in school-that's what they told many of my friends who applied for it.  And if I don't work, we're gonna be living on one income until I graduate and get a fulltime job from my new career.  I just can't impose that on my husband.  I mean we can still live on one income but I'm gonna be guilty doing that to him.  I've talked this over with him and he's very supportive of me going to school.  We could hold off on a lot of things until I'm done. 

I just want to live this hellhole.  I'm not happy working here anymore because of the stress and it's taking a toll on my well-being.  I can't stay because it's unhealthy.  And not worth it.

Snow Day!!!

I started working the show on Sunday.  It was quite busy in the morning but the crowd didn't pickup again after lunch so I decided to look around and shop.  Well guess what I found?  Purses.  Lots and lots of cute ones.  I went to this store named Passion and man did the sight make me drool!  And of course, the compulsive shopper in me decided what the hell?  Might as well buy since I'm here.  Good thing one of the sales reps was really nice and she let me shop in her booth (as I've mentioned on my previous blog, we're not allowed to do that because our company is in the show).  So I looked around and pointed the ones that I wanted not knowing that I'm over $200 already-good thing she mentioned it or I would've bought the entire booth =/.  Oh well, I think it's all worth it so I whipped out my credit card and paid.  I got 13 purses in all!  I'm so excited!  A woman can never have enough of those things =D

Yesterday was busy as well.  I think all the retailers decided to finish their shopping yesterday because there's a forecast of a snowstorm headed to Toronto and the GTA.

I woke up the usual time this morning to get ready for work.  I looked outside the window and hello!  There's a snowstorm indeed.  I thought the media was exaggerating like they always do but this time it looks like they're right.  It didn't look pretty out there and I'm so not driving in that storm so I decided to stay home.  Turns out that a LOT of people are staying home today and there are a lot of cancellations because of this.  Good thing I watched the news before I even got ready.  So everybody's home and we're just chilling.  I'm trying to catch up with friends since I haven't logged in since last friday.  Here's to a fun snow day!
