So I finally heard from G2 yesterday morning, 2 1/2 weeks after my second interview. Her voice didn't sound very upbeat in the message, which surprised me because I thought that I had definitely nailed it. I called her back and she told me that "due to internal structuring" the position has been "eliminated". She basically told me that I would have been offered the job if it was still available and that they will be keeping my resume on file to contact me if another position comes up. I told her that I had already accepted a temporary position with the City. After I got off the phone call, I was just incredibly relieved that I didn't "risk it" and hold out for the G2 job. Can you imagine? I say no to the Edmonton Police Service job for and job that got phased out? Thankfully, I not only accepted the EPS job but I love it! So far so good…not too many "admin" duties and almost daily PR duties. I still really like the job and the people I work with!
I'm on the hunt for a new hair stylist. The one I've been going to for years went on mat leave and is supposed to return in November. Yet when my mom called (we go to the same woman), the receptionist said that she was not there. Though the odds of a receptionist being left out of the loop (though everyone expects them to know everything!) are pretty high, if she's right and my stylist isn't coming back, I have to find a new one. Right now I'm growing out my hair and I won't need a stylist for a few more months (I'm pushing myself to grow it at least until February at the earliest!). But the day will come when I need one. I hate finding a new hair stylist. It's almost worse than finding a family doctor (I'll have to find a new one in a few years too!). Actually, I think it is worse because if you get a bad stylist, everyone sees your ugly hair for the 6 - 8 weeks until you can do something with it! So if you have an experience hair stylist who you love, please send me the info!
I'm so broke right now and it's depressing the hell out of me. Today is PL's birthday and I don't even have money for a card for him. I'm writing him a letter and baking him a cake (actually, it's going to be Birthday Banana Bread) but I feel so bad for not being able to do anything else for him. We aren't having the birthday party until the 24th, and luckily I get a paycheque (though it's only a half one…I started at the worst time!) that week. So at least I'll be able to buy him a present for that. I need a whole bunch of work clothing too, and I won't be able to get that until November. I will have to cut down on how much I spend on people for Christmas this year too. I basically won't be out of the red for a very long time. Maybe I should start buying lottery tickets...

Wow! Jeez G2...
Good for you on taking the other job, and even better that you're loving it!
I have a stylist I looove, but sometimes recommendations make me nervous, because someone that is great for me may not be so great for you. Anyway, her name is Joanne, from Exalte Salon (Bonnie Doon area). Not sure if that is far from you, but if you want more info let me know.
Re the money situation: I hear you! I thought I was doing alright until I started my banking business this morning...let's just say I should hide my CC for a little while...and maybe not buy groceries? haha. I guess it's all part the game when you're in your twenties. : )
