Today, I was let go from my newest job, after only working there for two weeks.
Their reasoning was that I 'wasn't adequately enthusiastic' about the role. In fact, for those two weeks I had been watching one other girl on the computer with nothing to do but make notes. My attempts at offering to take on even the most menial of tasks was fruitless, thus I had absolutely nothing to do for two weeks...
Nevertheless, I've decided now is as good a time as any to restart my blogging and make a list of what I am grateful for. This is as follows:
- I am living in a beautiful flat (the attic room, with my own spiral staircase!) in a lovely part of London
- I have been dogsitting two (yes, two!) puppies - a Goldador and a Bernese Mountain Dog - one of which I am earning money doing for a lovely family
- I have been invited for 3 job interviews this week, all involving speaking French (something I'd like to do)
- I am successfully selling clothes through various online marketplaces and earning a bit of extra money
All in all, I have had a year full of ups and downs. I've moved house twice, I've lost two jobs - most recently within a month of the last one - and had a relationship end for it then to be re-started.
The quote "Petit à petit, l'oiseau fait son nid" has come to mind recently; literally, "little by little, the bird builds its nest", or in other words - small strokes fell great oaks.
I'm going to try to live by this more consciously and be as positive as I can possibly be.
