Am Rolling it Down Now: See You at the Other Side

The crowd gathered at dusk for the fireworks spectacle on Canada Day.

Having to work 2 jobs can be a pain in the behind:

• You commute more often than the regular 9-to-5-ers. Your are always rushing from one location to the next. The only time you get to eat lunch is when you’re riding the subway.
• You have more bosses to answer to and therefore, by definition, more crap to deal with.
• Occasionally, you need to sacrifice your weekends to secure your wages.
• You have to sit through the annual performance evaluation twice.

But, the good parts of working 2 jobs are:

• You could take vacation-time off at one place to go work at the other place to earn extra wages.
• You get to have 2 farewell parties, 2 goodbye cards signed by everyone and 2 goodbye presents.
• You get to have 2 sources of professional references when you look for a new job.
• You leave with contacts of co-workers who have become your friends and/or your Facebook friends at both places.

Things I shall miss most in Toronto:

• It goes without saying, my friends.
• The year-long non-stop arts and cultural scenes.
• The Toronto Public Library.
• The convenience of the TTC even though heaps of people complain about its failing services.
• Spring and fall.
• Camping out at the deck during the summer nights when my room is smothering hot!
• The Canadian currency.
• And many more :)

Many thanks to Monica and Sylvia for inviting me out to join them for the event, Jul 1st :)
