I tried to hang on to my work place for exactly 1 month and I couldn’t take it any further. It’s a 60 hours work week and I had only 4 days off in a month. You might thought that I have so much money for doing what I do, but let me tell ya, it’s strictly a commission-base-job without benefit(s). Therefore, I haven’t make much money for that many hours I spent. I love my co-workers, but the customers haven’t come in that often for the past 2 weeks, which made me feel very sad for leaving.

Oh well, we have to make a living in some way(s).

I’ve landed another position for the same job at a different place, don’t know how much better it can be but I definitely asked for an 8 days off per month instead of 4.

Ever since my grandmother passed away (1 week ago), I often begin my day with a simple prayer for her to have peace in heaven, and ask god to give me strength to carry on with my job. How many of us wake up, PRAY for another day at work? Haha…you thought I’m crazy! At least my boyfriend did. BUT, it worked!

I believe in hard-work-pay-off kind of mentality and not to ask for EVERYTHING from the supper power above. Praying…to me…it speaks volume for what the heart desired the most. It brought what I want, from the subconscious, to the surface, to make me realize that I have goals and to keep me focus on what I want instead of let outside influences take over me.

I’m still doing “the stuff,” for my job search (apply online, speak to people, prepare for the next career fair, etc). Also, I keep on believing that I can make it to a brighter future. Haha…silly me…I used to believe in that too when I was a teenager. And now I asked myself… how much has changed since then?

It’s ok to have hope, right?
