It isn&#8217;t so different from the work I was doing on cash at Zellers. But, It pays a LOT better and I don&#8217;t have to stand there like some moving target all day long. The next two weeks I am making $10 an hour for the training and then I&#8217;m getting $11 an hour with the prospect of a quarterly raise (40 cents an hour). That is much better than Zellers. I went into Zellers at the end of today and bought a new alarm clock. I spent more than I would have on a Zellers grrl wage. It felt nice. I wanted to tell some of those sales associates to pack it in and go apply at NuComm. But, someone has to work at Zellers, I did my time there. <\/p>\n<p>Things are getting sorted out after the move. Sort of. <\/p>\n<p>Looking at that old photo of myself I feel more inspired to try losing weight again. I think it will have to wait till November when my Mother is likely to be gone back down to Florida again. We seem to be eating buddies and it&#8217;s not good for losing weight. <\/p>\n<p>She suggested getting me a car once I had a job here in Barrie. I would pay her back as if it were a bank loan. Having a car would be excellent, though a big expense. I just can&#8217;t see myself not having one and not being able to drive out to Newmarket to see family there or take road trips for more old and abandoned houses. So, a car is important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/thatgrrl.com\/site\/index.php\/2007\/ive-done-my-time\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Permalink to I&#8217;ve Done My Time\"><p>First day of the new job today.
