Dread

So, I was going to do another rewatch tonight, but instead I spent the night getting pissed off at my contracting company and trying to decide what I'm going to do about the future.

Right now, I really want to quit this job at the end of March 2013 (when my current contract is finished.) The only problem with that is that last time I tried to get a different job, I was unsuccessful... and I can't afford to be unemployed again...especially not in Vancouver.

I've been offered a job in China, but I'm not going to take it for financial reasons and because I don't want to live in China. (You can't access LJ from there.) 

There's a possibility my oldest sister could get me a job in Toronto - which would mean moving back east.

I don't know. I can't decide where I want to be or what I want to do. 

I have tickets to VanCon2013 and the first draft of a novel that I hate more with each passing day.... for whatever those are worth.

Anyway...yeah, I'll resume rewatches tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be in a better mood.

ETA: I meant to flock this, but then I forgot, and now I might as well just leave it.

I can't decide where I want to be or what I want to do.

Welcome to my life. :/

So what is it that means you don't want to move back to Toronto? Or is this just a complete "I'm not sure" deal? And what is the Toronto job?

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

It's just a complete "I'm not sure" deal. I like my life here. I also miss the family and friends that I left back in Ontario/Quebec when I moved out here.

The Toronto job doesn't actually exist, so I don't know what it would be. I just know that my eldest sister really wants me to move back and she might be able to help find me a job if I decide to. She works in publishing... which is an area I wouldn't mind working in. Anything she found me wouldn't be that interesting though - I mean, I'd probably just be an admin assistant... but it would probably be better than what I'm currently doing.

Publishing is cool though. You could work your way up and publish ALL THE BOOKS. And you could make sure things like Twilight or 50 Shades never got published again. :P

But yeah, not knowing is a bitch. But you've got some time yet, right?

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, technically, I have my entire life. :P

But I have until March 2013 until my current contract comes to an end. So, yeah, 5 months? I could decide to just find another job in Vancouver. I DO have a ticket to VanCon 2013, which is in August.

[franztastisch]

"Technically" :P

Haha yeah VanCon is a pretty big incentive to stay in Vancouver. Cos I guess that moving away would either have to mean getting a well paid enough job to got back for VanCon, or losing all the money you paid for the VanCon ticket.

[hells-half-acre.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

Also, I really like my apartment here and the city is nice...and I like my friends. So, it's just a huge decision all 'round whether I move back east or not.

[franztastisch]

Totally understandable. Well, good luck with it. I hope you find some Vancouver alternatives to your current job. :)
