This just in. Sunday July 25th, at our 'morning hudle' we were told by Chantal, our director that she has been instructed to lay ppl off.
The number of kids registered for week 5 and 6 are not good..and shes gonna have to make a very tough decision because we are all soo amazing. "If there are any volunteers please come talk to me, it would make my life alot easier"
one guy..Benji..lol..speaks up right away..she's been having hell with the UAE kids..he's ready to go!
I look over at Jen and our eyes meet...we have one of those mental convos (like in how I met your mother) that says...this is awesome, we gotta talk, meet me at my room after this stupid meeting is over" lol
Fast forward to today: Jen and I volunteered ourselves. No hard feelings, no questions asked but we did explain we just wanted more time with our family and friends that live out here and that we'd actually enjoy our time off. Other ppl working here have come with nothing and if they were to get laid off they wouldn't have a place to stay and their economical situation was not the best. Most of everybody is still in Uni or college.
pros of finishing work: sleep in, eat proper food, visit family, see more of the vancouver area with family, relax, enjoy my vacation from my actual job, shop!, not have to be treated like i'm 21 working a very badly payed job for the hours and work and my qualifications.
cons: i don't make the $700 in the last 2 weeks.
I think I made the right decision. Rather, I KNOW I made the right decision
My degree of happiness since friday July 30th (last day of work) has gone up by 100x
NOW i'm on vacation
NOW i get to relax and travel and see at my own pace
NOW i get to do what i want
NOW i am 100% happy ( minus the % because you're not here w/ me ;)
