Day 26: Monday 7th December
Hi all!
It was a flat out weekend with my Santa job plus trying to get all my other jobs in for work, so it was probably a weekend that felt more like two busy weekdays.
I got a call today from the agency that has placed me there for the last 2 years (when there were different managers). They were apologietic and somewhat shocked as the new store manager wanted me gone. Apparently santa has an attitude LOL I recall suggesting that lolipops were a better option than toffees as the kids didn't like them, plus I suggested putting a tv screen attached to the camera so parents could see the photos to save time. I guess this new guy doesn't like suggestions from the 'staff' so instead on speaking to me, he phoned the agency.
The best bit is I hated the job and dreaded the weekends approaching. I was only doing it because the store had (next to) begged me to come back this year and I had agreed a year ago to do it. You tend to not worry about doing things when they are a whole year away.
So the outcome is I have all that time back!!!! With secondary tax, I was getting barely minimum wage for a semi-humiliating task. We don't need the money.
So all in all, A good outcome for me ;)
Eating has been right on track as has regular weights sessions :)
Now my timeline has changed, I shall be kicking in with the hardcore training on the 16th rather the 22nd (which would have been the last santa work date).
