It's getting around that time to begin searching out a new summer job. My last one has left me not looking very forward to this..
Which is weird. I like working. I work very hard. But it bothers people how naturally quiet I am. Not shy, quiet. I wish I lived in the city where there are a lot more work opportunities, but I'm still in the country for now.
I also tend to be a lot slower. I don't like working past by own pace. My last employer knew this. I knew she was unhappy with my lack of kitchen skills, but I wasn't hired to be part of the kitchen staff. I didn't like being blamed for things that weren't my fault. I loved my coworkers though. I always brought them sweets, stuff they liked.
Before that, I worked as a cleaning person at a campground. Have to say, it was an awesome job. My boss was the nicest person in the world though, and always bent over backwards. I would so love to work for her again, but I have a language barrier. Most in that area are French, and I know very basic French skills from school. Never really became hooked on the language. While I can understand, I can't speak it. It's in a different town that I want to live so badly in for all my life, although there's lots of French (and Pinoys. XD My boyfriend would love to learn French, but his accent makes it so laughable when he tries. Yet when he wants to teach me Tagalog, if I say one thing wrong, he spends five minutes lecturing me on how to pronounce it.. honestly, he'd make a good language teacher). My boss doesn't speak French though either. I can only do work around the campground rather than work in office because of the language barrier.
It's the summer before university, so I am extremely anxious about moving. I have two places to decide on where to work, where I live or near that campground, but I'd not like to be too far from my boyfriend. But it's next to nil for finding a job where I live, and I'm not terribly fond of local people. When I worked in the restaurant, I only really liked the tourists, Americans, and foreigners that came by. They made it so much more enjoyable.
