In Limbo....
#5646017 - 05/18/06 12:00 PM (17 years, 8 months ago) |

I have two options:
1. Stay in Pembroke, find a roommate, keep my job and financial security.
2. Move back to Toronto, live with Gill and find a new job.
Finding a new job isn't so bad, I guess. I really love where I'm at right now tho so I'm having a lot of trouble convincing myself to give it up. Not having a steady income scares me to death. I can't be broke, I can't lose my car.
How do I find a roommate? Should I put up flyers or something? What if I find someone who seems cool, but turns out to be a psycho?
Any Shroomerites in the Ottawa valley need a roommate? Time's a tickin'....

fliers on college campuses work well, as long as you don't mind living with a student. you might get lucky and get a rich kid who you know will never be late for rent!
good luck

Hmmm, that's a good question. It's not a career, but it's pretty stable. I'd like to stay for as long as possible, I'm making great money. I've worked in a few shitty places in the past few years, but this place rocks.
Great atmostphere, great friends and security.

Jobs like that are hard to come by.. I don't know much about Canada, but as far as my area goes, starting over and looking for a job that you like and that has those qualities is very hard.

We broke up and I moved out. My current apt sucks balls and I hate it. He's another reason that I want to stick around because I love him with every fiber of my soul, and I keep thinking that things just might work out....but I also think I'm mostly living in a dream world.
So if I leave, I'm leaving him behind too...which is actually harder then leaving my job, which I'm using as a cover.

You are a beautiful and intelligent woman, though. Moving on will be easier than you think. You just gotta set your mind and do it.

Yes, yes I do. That's pretty straight up.
Love makes people pretty stupid sometimes. I'm having a hard time giving up. My head knows I need to be in TO, moving forward...but my heart has so much more power over me.
FUCKING EH.
What to do, what to do? Talking it out, thinking it out. Turn off the heart, listen to the head? Find a new job, a new life? Give it up? Let it go?
????????????????????????????????
Le sigh. I know what I need to do, but it's really hard.

Move to Toronto. It would be a great change of scenery, plus you would get to be near a great friend. If I were you, I would want to live with Gill considering how well you two get along. You're like separated sisters.

Yes, if it's meant to be, then it will happen...anywhere. Do what YOU need to do first and everything else second. Especially if you guys are not together anymore.

Pretty sure I know what I need to do... 
I really appreciate your input guys. Sometimes talking it out really does help. I'm a very lucky person to have a friend like Gill, especially in shitty times like this, I know she's got my back.
Pubbers, too. I you bitches. Thanks for letting me unload.

Just take the apathetic approach and dont do anything let it all happen for you. Thats what I always do and it seems to be working I guess?

Flipping a coin is bad news... there's like a 70% chance of whatever is showing itself (facing you or up) will end up being the result.
do a real game of chance and roll a dice if you're going to do that at all 
the ignore it because you know you want to do the opposite of what fate tells you, just because that's fate in itself

Then what's the rush? Haul down as much coin as you can for as long as you can, live thriftily, then re-think the situation some time down the road. Sounds like a pretty good job. Giving up a good job is not a trivial decision to make -- especially if you have a car still to pay off. If you owned the car outright it might be a different story.
It's almost NEVER wrong to stick out a less-than-perfect situation long enough pay off all debts and build a stash of reserve loot before making major life changes such as moving to a different city. Good jobs don't just pop out of the woodwork (hell, sometimes even lousy jobs don't) so it's been my experience that when you get one it's best to milk it for all it's worth.
