Sitting on a stepping stone waiting to jump to the next



I know it’s been a ridiculously long time. You don’t have to tell me. What’s the point of even having a blog if I’m not regularly updating it, right? Yeah I know. Well the main reason I haven’t been on top of this is because I have been incredibly busy. For real this time, it’s not just because nothing is going on in my life. I left the retail job, which I can now say is Le Chateau, because I don’t work there anymore. The people were great, but it was obviously only going to be a temporary thing for me. With the amount of schooling I have behind me, I obviously have some bigger dreams and aspirations. Enter Thailand.

Ah yes, Thailand. Well, that has been postponed. Originally I was accepted to go for April 22nd, which is coming up so quickly, but I have had to postpone it now until after June. This is because I have a surgery scheduled on June 11th to finally get my gallbladder out. Yes….a lot has been going on. So, Thailand will eventually happen, and everything in my last post still holds true, it will just not happen until the summer.

Finally, the main reason I have been so incredibly busy is that I’ve started a new job. I am working now as a rep for TNI, a company that raises money for non-for-profit charitable organizations. I’m currently working on the Sick Kids campaign raising money for Sick Kids Children’s Hospital (if that wasn’t obvious enough already). The people are amazing and the job has been fantastic so far. I’m already making double what I was making at my other job, I have already been promoted with endless opportunities to continue to advance in the company if I should choose to, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience spending my days actually helping people instead of trying to get them to buy things that they don’t need. My long term goals are still kind of all on the fence….I’m just taking things one day at a time and enjoying the ride as I go. Unfortunately this is a short post because I have to get ready for work now. I’ll offer a more lengthy and detailed update later.
