This week was quite the rollercoaster, but I'm pumped!

This week was quite a ride. So I tried to give my new job a few more days, but on the Tuesday I had enough. I couldn't focus the entire day because I was too deep into thinking about how I really can't meet the expectations of the job and how it really wasn't the right fit.

I didn't know anything in my third week still. It was terrible. I felt so bad because there were some passionate people we had meetings with, and I couldn't really understand the content. I didn't feel confident that I could help people like them in the future.

I knew then and there that I wasn't going to receive training on the industry, and that things wouldn't change, so I quit the next day. Took a day to process things on my end and then the next day I had to come for an exit. Ended things smoothly but then some other stuff was brought up. I've decided to put it aside for now and just focus on my job search.

I had an interview for a virtual contract position that would basically be self-employment, as I would need to figure out some things for taxes on my own. 

I was fairly confident at the middle of the week that I could go forward with this work and try to do some more video freelance work, but I'll really need to research more about that, so I'm going to meet up with some people to chat about how they do their self-employment. 

Then today I decided to go on Kijiji just to see what's out there, and when I saw that there were others looking for employment to get by, reality hit me. I have all of these things I want to try that I don't know what kind of income it will bring, but I have bills to pay. I tried to not let it get me too much today but it's really true, but then again, I'm just going to give it a try for a bit and if I need to look at other more full-time gigs then I will. And I have, so I'm ok, I just have to be positive, because eventually these contract things and freelance work will help me make a full-time income. :)

I spent the rest of the week job searching and am now waiting for a contract for the virtual position. I'm going to keep searching, but also keep researching on how to make things work for me. I'm also going to hang out with some friends and try to attend some networking events in the new year.
