Oh working life…

It’s a funny thing.
When you are desperately looking for a new job it seems that nobody needs a new employee but as soon as you find a job, there are people with different offers willing to hire you, trying to convince you that the best thing you could do about your future is work for them now.

I’ve always wanted to work in a hotel, to work in the area of study of my degree - which is Tourism btw -, but somehow jobs in other areas always seemed more appealing to me (as in: I've always worked less and earned more :p).
When I got back from the US I told myself I was only going to work in a job that was related to Tourism (besides the work at my pretty shop, of course ♥), but as soon as I started looking for a job (when I felt that it was ok for my sister to take care of the store mostly alone - we solve all the financial and management matters together though) I found one that wasn’t related to it and since the offer was good I jumped at the opportunity, but just the other day I received a call from a big hotel in my city, they were asking me if I could work for them and then I was torn between the two job offers. It was quite hard for me to make a decision but I ended up accepting the offer that didn’t have anything to do with Tourism (partly. In fact, since this financial office where I now work is related to two huge resorts and is directly involved in the Invest in Brazil Project - which results in access to people who are responsible for dealing with international tourists that are clients from the resorts - the job is actually slightly related to Tourism. And I am part of the crew who is making sure the communication between both parts is clear enough, that and all the boring financial part that I’m already used to - that’s all I did over at one of my first jobs).
It’s annoying how I never get a good enough offer to work at the area I want to. But I guess I should be happy for being lucky enough to have job offers in the first place.

Anyway, sorry for talking so much about work these days, it’s just that work is all I have in my head recently; I’m craving financial independence. I want to be able to take care of myself, have my own place and all those things. It’s not that I’m being pressured by my family or anything like that, it’s just that I got to a point in my life where I really need my own stuff.
Meh. Maybe 2010 will bring me some good surprises on that matter. Hopefully.

Christmas cards sent! :D Surely enough they are going to be late, but I assure you I had the best of intentions! xD I still need to send some new year cards, hopefully I will be able to do that soon.

Any news, guys?

job, christmas cards, life
