When it comes to employment I have an unusually short attention span. My average is one year before I get tired/bored/annoyed etc... with a job. Not the best way to maneuver through life, but I can't help my attention span, it is what it is. On April 1st, I hit the one year mark working for my current employer. I have been quite happy, enjoying the job and thinking that this was one I could stay with for a while. Unfortunately, on April 4th that changed. This time, it had nothing to do with me. The job is technically part-time, as most weeks I work around 20 hours which has been enough to eke by, even when there were work shortages. Due to changes in how I am paid and the way that my reporting is to be done, my pay is effectively being cut down to one third of what I would normally get per month. My monthly intake which used to range from $1200-1800 after taxes (depending on how busy it was) will now range from $400 - $800 a month. Anyone that can add up rent plus food plus car insurance will come to the conclusion that a monthly intake between $400 and $800 isn't going to cut it. Thus, the past two weeks have been spent trying to get this resolved, which after a meeting today didn't happen. So I'm left with few choices: do exactly what I am currently doing and go bankrupt in a month; get a second job in the evening to balance out my income, but lose any hope of doing anything other than work; find another day job that only needs me two or three days a week and work for my current employer the other two days; or, find another job period. I'm mildly annoyed by the whole thing, as the goober I had to talk to was in Ottawa, and I'm not convinced he's aware of how "part-time" my job really is. My current mindset is to find another part time job and do both during the daytime hours. The company I'm with may have something down the road that would be a shame to miss out on, but I can't sit on my hands and wait. We shall see what we shall see.
