Where I Am At

Today it is two weeks since I left my job.

I found out that I got paid three weeks pay in advance plus my annual leave that was owing. I was also paid for one day of sick. I also realised that I had been underpaid by a week for the Easter Monday week.  It took more than a week to get a reply and finally i was paid last Friday what I was owed. I also had my Superannuation paid. That is amazing as I was owed back to August 2013 - so a total of 8 months that was finally paid.  I had already put a complaint into the ATO about my unpaid Superannuation before I was sent through the receipts. I have left the complaint active and hopefully the ATO will look into the company a bit more closely.

I found out that my dads cancer has not spread. Thank goodness for that. He is booked in on 11th June to have the prostate removed.

I have had two weeks of no work - but don't despair, I have a job. I applied for a job the day that I finished up at my old job. It was only one day a week, but will be perfect for next year. I heard the following day that I had been selected for an interview. I went for the interview the day after that and an interview with the company last monday. I also found out last monday that I had the job - I am starting tomorrow.   The funny thing is, its another building company. I have not heard of them before, but it is run by a husband and a wife and they seem really nice, so hopefully it will be good.  I am a bit nervous, I haven't started a new job in a long time.

In other news I have had two rejections for jobs this week. Woolworths dont want me as a checkout chick and the RTA dont want me as a customer service person.  Thankfully I have another job or that would have made me feel really depressed.

I have been having some internal debate whether I start the nursing degree. In some respects I think that I am a little silly, but in other respects I think that I dont really have a choice.  When I had my job interview at the recruitment agency I was asked why i only wanted part time employment. I explained that I was going to go back to Uni next year.  The recruitment lady agreed with what I said, that office work in Newcastle is hard to find and it does not come up too often and when it does come up there are heaps of applicants.  So again I am comfortable with my decision. It is going to cost quite a bit of money in lost income, but I think the long term gain will be worth it.
