Eyes on the Prize

I have officially gone back to my second job at Tim Hortons and should be starting back in a few weeks. Although there were plenty of reasons to look for something different with the most obvious reason being the distance from my house, there were more reasons why I should go back. My boss there is fully aware of my current schedule and working around it which I  know can be a hinderance with finding a new job. I used to do hiring and I know that working around other schedules is not always a good selling point. I also love most of the people there and found myself having fun most of the time at work which really is important to me.

One very big reason I chose to go back was interviewing for a new job. I'm not good at lying to be honest and I feared questions like, "Do you see yourself growing within the company?" or "Why did you choose this job?" and frankly, I couldn't bring myself to fabricate an answer knowing I was planning on leaving for Ireland again in the fall. I was honest with my bosses from the start when I knew I was leaving and I couldn't bear to sit through an interview knowing I had no intention of staying permanently.

I definitely have my eyes on the prize here. I know this year will be rough working day and night trying to save triple the amount of money I brought with me the first time around. It's going to require diligence and restraint when it comes to shopping. I am determined to pay off my student debt, credit card, and save enough money to go back and feel comfortable. All I can think about is all of the things I'm missing out on seeing as I sit here back in Windsor and it really irks me. I was finally getting into my groove there and had to abruptly leave so I definitely feel like I have lots of unfinished business.

It's going to be a rough year but one that will be well worth it in the end!

HAPPY VEG
