give in, give up, or give it your all

I have just been through another bump in the road in my Aussie adventure.

I had been working at Tooleys Bar and Restaurant for about 2 months. I had just gotten comfortable with all of the regulars, the people I worked with, and the regular runnings of the restaurant. I got word on Monday that I was fired! I couldn't believe it, I had just been told by one of the managers that I was one of the best. Boggles my mind.

Anyways I was back at square one again -- no job, and not too much money, great!

I got really down on myself because I have never felt so degraded as I sometimes do in this country. I know I am a good worker, I have letters of reference to prove it. Tooleys was just under bad ownership and the owner started clearing house with his employees I can't take that personally, I just have to deal with it and remember that I am a good worker with a tone of potential.

I thought that the best decision at this time was to pack up and head back to Canada and get a fresh start there. NO JENNIFER! that is not the best idea! I realized that "Life is an Adventure" and there are always going to be bumps and curves in the road that I am going to have to deal with and this is one of them. I have to learn to pick myself back up and get back on the road again. Off to the internet cafe I went to print off a heap of resumes. I walked to Broadbeach (5km from Surfers) because I didn't want to waste money on the bus. I got to Broadbeach and went to my favourite restaurant, Yellowfin, and spoke with the manager. I have a trial at 5:30 tomorrow night. I rock what I do so I know that I will have a job again in no time.

As Kait told me. In life you have 3 choices; give in, give up, or give it your all.
I am going to stay here for now and give it my all and pound the pavement until I get a job and just work and save my money. I cannot give up on this adventure that I am on yet.

Take it day by day and dollar by dollar......
