So many decisions! It's actually a little exciting...

It's late and I'm tired but how can I not write about my latest decisions?

I interviewed for this nutrition job. Quite the cool place. And today they emailed me to inform me that I got the job. It's like totally beshert (that's Yiddish and it refers to these things where it seems like it's meant to be, especially refering to romantic "besherts"). I want a job for a month and they're looking to hire someone for a month. I saw the ad less than 2 hours after they posted it on toronto.craigslist.org. This is cool because I wasn't really looking for nutrition jobs anymore but right then I decided to take a peek anyway. And I was so surprised to see that posting since there are almost never postings of job positions for nutritionists in craigslist.

Anyway, since it was so beshert, I decided to send in my resume. And they interviewed me and accepted me. But... That doesn't take away from the fact that I really do hate working as a nutritionist. For so many reasons!

So I decided that if I'm at all interested in this job, I need to decide what I need in order to make this job "worth it" for me.

OK, so firstly, I need to be paid enough to pay for my therapy. : ) Well, I don't feel like going to therapy right now but I do need to be paid enough to feel it's worth it. In my opinion they anyhow didn't offer me enough for a professional position as a dietitian.

The other thing I need is very few hours. So I'm thinking of offering to work 4 hours, 4 days a week. But then I was wondering how I can fill up the rest of my time (suddenly I had a picture of myself spending all my hard-earned money because I have so much free time!) so I was thinking it would be nice if I volunteered.

Anyway, meanwhile, I missed another interview I was supposed to have today. It was at 10:00am. At 10:00am, I was sitting right here, next to the computer, in my pyjamas (actually, like right now!). Suddenly I had a thought: Maybe my interview isn't at 12:00 noon. Yes, that's what I had in my head. That it was at 12! I looked in my calendar and freaked out!!! I called her. She was really nice. And we set up a meeting for today instead.

I also have another interview for possibly teaching Hebrew in a Jewish school here. I figure maybe I could make good use of the fact that I'm fluent in English and Hebrew.

Also, I have been in touch with a sleep-over summer camp for a position in administration for the summer.

So, I have a lot of decisions... Oy

yay! It's so wonderful to have options to choose from. Are you thinking of doing any of these jobs long term? I'm glad that you just haven't given up blogging all together, but it is simply a matter of privacy and time. I was worried comments on your blog would change how you wrote.
