It's done, yesterday I passed my final exam, my most difficult to get degree. I'm now officially a heal-masseuse.
Even though I have uncontrollable fits of giggling every now and then when I think about it, I don't feel different than before. Shouldn't I feel... don't know... more grown up? Stronger? More accomplished? More sophisticated? More... contented? More free?
Maybe it's because the tension of the last weeks and months is gone now, that I'm so tired, but I thought that I would feel different than before. I thought that I would finally get my freedom with this diploma, but nothing changed.
I also lost my job the day before yesterday. My boss claimed I was too fly-by-night. Yes, there were a few problems, but they were her fault as much as mine. How am I supposed to take the right amount of money, when she tells me the wrong basic price? It's logical that I'm unsure and have to ask again and again then!
Also she wanted me to use a massage technique, that she showed me ONCE!!! and then wonders why I ask her again to show me one of the movements. She claimed I was unprepared.
What I found out a few days before she dismissed me was, that she never informed the government, that I worked for her, so I wasn't insured the whole time. I also never got my papers, but I will change that. She will get a letter that asks her to send me my papers and if she won't, she would hear from my lawyer.
My wages per hour were really nice, but there was also a problem. She didn't pay me when one of the patients called the appointment off, as if I was a freelancer instead of an employee and I had to do the paperwork she was supposed to do, also unpaid. On the one hand I'm glad to be rid of this boss, on the other hand I liked the work there. And I don't like, that I now have to find something else that will be worse paid with more to do. I WILL have my own company, where I can be my own boss and make my own prices, but this will take time.
Well... for now I get myself something to eat and enjoy World of Warcraft again. I didn't play for ages, at least it seems like that to me.
Have a nice day!
job,
