find a second job

and I do hours more. That allows me to pay my bill. Now If I found a second job, good, if not, good. I’ve been running for a second job, I had one, lost the first, had to find a new one. I’m sick and tired with it, and withh people I meet for interviews. I consider that largely done.

I run from job to job, for a misery. It’s not because you’re a writer you don’t have the right to work.

So, I might write to the (work) inspectors, to tell them in the agency I work in, they don’t pay me all the hours in my contract. Whether they employ me for them all, or not isn’t my problem, they must pay me ALL the hours in the ocntract, or why do we make contract?

Beside that, I contacted other agencies, to go working with children. And only with children. I’m no cleaning lady, no house keeper, no gardener, and others, you would hallucinate, I’m an educator!

I’m sick of humans!

Current situation: i’m in contract with people who don’t pay all the hours subscribe in the contract. As long as I don’t have better, I can’t leave. But… the contract is not legal. If I find something else, I can leave any moment. i’ll do that good, with a letter first.

I have an appy for a job in early may, which means I’d have to dump this one. Serious, hours paid, ALL, and even for the holidays, the next year and after.

I’ll certainly make another appy. Job for September. Serious too.

I have another number for another job. Can’t seem to be able to contact them.

I went at the shop, to finish the work I had to do, and he paid me. I wanted him to be frank. He said he wanted to give me a job, but his wife doesn’t want to. I said I knew. He looked surprised.I said I’ve known for a year or so. He said “really?”If I can surprise a shark like him, maybe i’m smart. I said I wasn’t a power seller anyway. He told me his wife doesn’t want to bc she finds me “hard”. That’s right I am, i don’t deny. I’m no hypocrite. He said that is she doesn’t want, he can’t give me the job, but he still wants to work with me, and will still have missions for me whatever, he needs someone like me. Like me? I asked. Quick-minded, and with character. There I eyebrowed, and smiled. he can’t talk me, and he knows it. But he said that was true. A little back on what I said. He can’t hire me bc his wife dislikes me, but still gives me work, in spite of it. Hmm, it’s not only a couple story. I’m pretty sure she owns the shop 50%. The idiot.
Anyway, I learnt new things. The business works fine, he wants to make business with Asia now. But he’s Asian boy might move (Tcho, he’s really cool). One of his seller is leaving. the one I don’t like. She licks the mistress’ ass. But if the mistress liked me, she probably would lick mine too. She has no personality, that’s why the mistress likes her. That makes one enemy less, bc then I get on well both with Emily and Catherine.

So, will I work for him again? Honestly, i don’t know.

I had a message, telling me the person I had an interview with last week is making a try next week with the first she met. And so if this doesn’t work, she will “allow herself” to contact me again. I’m the second on the list, a feeling of déjà-vu. So, I don’t count on this.

I’m still in contact with the agency, to find me jobs. Little jobs. but whatever, I keep in mind that it’s for now, it’s not what I am. I have been drained, treated like shit, insulted, let down, neglicted, forgotten, abandoned, worked 10 hours after a blank night, and i’m still alive, i’m still here, and I want more, I can tell you I’ve got the mental.

I made a rather good month at my current work, compared with last month. I think it’s the more hours I’ve made. Maybe they got the message, and I don’t care what they think about me (because I’ve heard some bad things in my back, well surprised them. In Spanish, too bad for them). There’s no way i’m gonna be the goose. And I have back-up. If I start feeling the slightest thing, I’ll send letters as proof, and use my tools.

I saw Mark, my contact for the employment agency, and i’m still on their list “cultural”, I prefer, they’re cooler, and anyway, the agency nevr found me a job, I did it myself. I help myself anytime :) He gave me a mail, new publishers, they’re not settled yet, but he tells me they look honest. Well, i’ll check that by myself. You’ve got to write a short story, and send it (first to yourself, recommanded, I suppose that’s why he implies they’re honest. But i’ve seen stranger things). The kind “giallo”. I hope they’re open-minded in terms of genre. But maybe I can give it a try. That would just do one project more, so seven.

I have other ideas. I took addresses for the first-aids (PSC 1). This way when I have another job, I just have to see the dates and subscribe to a session. If I pass my PSC 1, there’s no reason why I won’t, maybe I’ll pass PSC 2. And if I like it, in a longer term, be a real first-aid, on field. I think there’re 12 PSC, and you need 5 to be in a team.

I thought also about investigator formations. There’re some officials, certified by the government formations. Then I could work in an agency, or at my own account. I’ve always loved to investigate, and I think I have some qualities for this job. The others I can learn them, that’s why there’re formations.There’s no reason why I shouldn’t succeed.

Maybe I’ll just move in another country and do I don’t know what. I leave myself lots of doors open.

I knew some days ago, that I’d have an appointment for a job. It would be bring a little boy at school in the mroning, and then take care at home of his little sister. That would be 24h more of work a week, or 41h total. That would be great. The problem is, well first, it’s only an appointment. And then, I don’t know the age of the baby girl. If she’s TOO young, I can’t take care of her. I usually take care of children who are “autonomous”, meaning above 2. Then, I could take care of a child who can stay sta alone, and move crawling. but not younger. I have no experience with children so small, I’m not crazy to accept the job. For once, I’ll really need luck for this one ;)

I met a social worker, specialized in law. I knew something was wrong with the contract, but I wanted to consolidate my basis. So could, or mensualize the time of work. Or annualize. I’m not super fond of the seocnd solution, but I want the guarantee of a minimum of hours. I talked about it with employers, they’re not against make another contract if it’s needed. So there’s no problem with that. If really our relation went wrong, which is really not the case for now, I’d write a letter to them, and a double for the association to let officially know I’m not for this kind of situation. I have underminated contract, which means I can’t be fired just “like that”, there must be a good reason. IN case, this letter would be a proof. But I don’t think it’s gonna go so far.

I also went to the association, to ask her if she had other missions for me. She says to look after children no. So I said I’m not against cleaning, that’s what I do twice a week at home; as long as there’s no ironing. And she said we’ll have that, in my quarter certainly. Which is good. I’d rather work in the morning, because I already work in the afternoon, but if it’s “next door”, so to speak, I could work also in the early afternoon. I know that in this quarter, they’re lots of old people, and anyone coming to help at home keeps them from being totally isolated for some. So that goes fine with me. That would make 4 to 16 hours more of work a week. Then that depends on what she can find me, or what i’ll find on my side. Anyway, for now I told her I take the max lol. That would be great for my finances. And save money maybe, to visit Coco, or invite Fox for WE at Disneyland. Or save for a house?
If I can work 16 hours more a week, that’ll make nearly a full time job, nearly because I skip one wednesday out of 4 a month. but still that’ll be great.

I did 34,5… I don’t even know if I’ll do more. I hope for 5 hours more.

After searching, I finally got a number. I’ll call in early January, when they have their new schedules, to take an appointment with a juridical adviser, show him my contract, and the abuse I’m living in terms of hour at workd. For now I told nothing to my employers, my oly fear is to lose my job. I’m still looking for another. I regret it happens this way, because contact is good, but I don’t think it’s normal.
I’ll see what I do after meeting the J. adviser. I’d rather a new contract, honest and respected, something amiable. but if not, I’ll present my file to the prud’hommes (institution defending injustice, irregularities in the world of work). Even if I have a result in two years, I don’t care.

I’m FU-RIOUS.

My problem? I signed for a half-time, which isn’t MUCH already, but I thought I coul take a second job, and that way it would do. BUT, I work less each months, now I’m closer to a half-half time…

My contract was “changed” which means my employers, not the agency, doodled some words more making the time I worked flexible from 6 to 17 hours a week… which included in the beginning one Wednesday I didn’t work, we had talked about it, and they were supposed to tell me two weeks earlier. Since then, I work more 2 Wednesdays out of four, and sometimes I don’t work in the evening either, a phone call made some hours before, so I can’t do anything else.

My solution? Well, if i’m really so bothered, I take a lawyer, go to prud’homme, two years before an answer… and I lose my job, of course. HELLO? Do I need to lose my job lately?

Want to know how much hours I’m gonna work this month? 40. AT BEST!

If I talk to my employer, weel they’ll say if i’m not happy, I search another job, and I’ll lose my job.

What I do? I DO search for another job, any job, another part time, or full time.

So now, I had earned a little more money on eBay, for xmas presents, but ùy list is stopping here, because I will use this money to pay charges for NEXT months. I’m sorry to say this so, but I hate rich people. I think they mostly have no respect. Well, a different respect. Very different.

I think FURIOUS isn’t even enough.

Today I went to my appoitment at the ANPE (Agence Nationale Pour L’emploi) – employment agency. I was a bit nervous because I hadn’t gone for a moment, and I changed agency, because they tranferred some files from the very old building. That’s funny because I was, for some months, in the commercial section lol

So I was transferred back to the arts and culture branch, with a new contact, Marc… In the beginning, when I registered at the agency, I had to choose between the “regular” cursus, and the arts and culture. I chose this one because they know that world, and me not, and it’s where I want to work. They, so, help me less or not at all lol for a more regular job, though they follow me.

I’ve got new contacts, sites, about books, authors, publications etc… he gave me access to his personal files, I only have to ask to someone there if I want to consult them. He wants to read what I write. So I know why I chose arts and culture.

And also he says that i’m not unemployed. It’s a part time but still I have a job. He says that it’s good to stand up. It’s strange because I wrote the next appy 12/18, and I wrote left-handed, without noticing, but he noticed. I don’t know why he was “interested” because he’s right-handed himself. well at least he looks to be. he told me I should be careful about my work contract, and gave me someone to contact at the jurisdiction.

So we talked a little then lol yeah I wanted to know about the old building, a horror of insalubrity. It was an insult for people who looks for a job, made them feel they were considered as wrecks of this society. And for workers too. As I’ve never really been helped by the agency, to find a job, or for addresses for my book(s), now I understand where the money goes LOL

We had not shaken hands, I think maybe there’re all sort of people and not everyone wants to shake hands. So I held him mine when I left, and I wonder if he could smile, but he can, genuinely I think, so it was possibly introversion. Anyways, it was a rather good thing.

Fox sister might have a number for me to call, for a job. But it’s in “selling”, so I’m cautious a little. They’re looking for adviser in culture, books, music. I’ll see.

Finally, she called me at 10.30 pm (WTF? Do I know you?), to give me an appy for today. And today, one hour before I left, she calls and say finally she can’t. I may sound rigid to some of you here, but I like people who have first respect, and then who do what they say. Now, i’ve got the feeling to have “in front” of me someone not reliable at all. She said we keep in touch. But I don’t know. I look for a job, but she doesn’t live in my quarter, and I don’t have the bike lately, so I need somebody sure.
