Ok, so I left my notice at work today... Have to still stay for another two weeks here.
If I was nasty I left right away since Redstone never bothered to make a new contract for me when my probation period was over, but my boss hackled me to stay here for another 2 weeks so I can hand over all my work to other people.
I guess that's ok but I am really doing it just because I am a nice person, there is no law binding me to stay here because I never had a contract... I feel that this place has ripped me off enough as it is, maybe I should have just said that I will leave now.
Well, they were first saying that I should stay for the next 4 weeks but I said that it was a no go.
Ok, so why did I hand in my notice?
Well, before I went on my holiday I had a little discussion with one of the managers about my pay. I felt that I had been worked to the bone for the past few months and I really wanted to get a raise. Only response I got from them was that they were going to review it sometime in the future.
Well, I went for my holiday and when I got back I entered a complete chaos that had formed when I had been away. The first day I was back from my holiday I was feeling very stressed and felt like I needed another holiday. This all boiled down to me bursting into tears in our meeting room because of the sheer pressure that was on my shoulders.
At the same time I had been contacted by an agency who was asking me if I was available for an interview for a different job. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain at that moment so I went for it.
Naturally I got the job (hehe).
While all this was going I also had an "argument" with my roommate/landlord which boiled down to me having to find a new place. I guess this is all good because the new job is waaaaay outside of London and it would take me a very long time to travel there from where I live now, but I really didn't need any more drama at the moment.
So, I am looking for a place to live near Potters Bar, North of London - if anyone reading this has a studio or 1 bedroom flat to rent PLEASE contact me since I need a place to move to in the end of this month.
As you can imagine this circus that I call my life is making me very tired. I have no idea (again) where I will pull money to move again... I am still recovering from my previous chaos and mentally all the stuff that is going on is very draining. But I have to say that there are more positives now in the horizon than negatives.
The new job sounds really nice. My new title is "Junior Account Manager" - no more assistants or admins and no more admin pay either, I will now finally start earning enough money to actually go have a proper hair cut and maybe even go eat out once a month.... that is once I clear out of the ditch I once again will be.
But it's not just the money that is making me very happy about getting this job. There are apparently 30ish people working in the office from 20 different countries. This company has offices almost everywhere in the world and one part of the job is traveling to meet the clients and taking care of the relationships.
Also the fact that the place is out of London... and that I will be moving to live there as well (hopefully). I have been wanting to move out of London for so long just because the quality of life improves basically by every zone you go away from Leicester Square.
I am going to go now, I am feeling really tired and I really can't wait to get back home (well a place where I sleep for now) and lay my head on a pillow.
