Happy to say that my work trial was only really for the morning and that by lunchtime I was offered the job! I'm really happy that searching for a job is now over and done with, the people are lovely and I feel like I could be there for a while.
I was going to post earlier but got sick after my second Pfizer dose - nothing requiring hospital visits, simply a short cold then a bad sinus infection for around 6 days, so was certainly not up to doing a blog entry.
This is my third week of working there; I am working 2 days per week as an accounts/administration officer at a hair and beauty wholesaler/retailer. It's a completely different industry so is quite interesting to learn all about. It's only a 10 minute drive from home which is awesome. We are currently in lockdown so I am working shorter hours as they only have skeleton staff on, but my hours on one day will be increasing once lockdown is over and they are already talking about work to give me for my third day (which I said I am totally fine with as I was looking for up to 3 days).
It is all very exciting though - it is a newly created position so Iast week I got to order new stationery for my desk and was given a new computer. My hourly rate is only $0.50 less than my previous job but I don't have to pay for a train ticket anymore (which would cost $1.00 per hour worked), so I have a tiny increase per hour. I'm just glad to be pretty getting the same pay as I did not want to drop too much.
In other news, I have just transferred $30.00 to the 52 week challenge (covering two weeks) for our new pets savings.
