Sorted!

I've got a place to live AND a job! And I didn't have to even go far... I'm working the reception desk at the hostel! Sound familiar? So as part of that, I get to stay in staff accomodation ( a room shared with 2 other female staff) and am nice and close to downtown.

I wasn't sure if I was ready to go back to full time hostel life yet, but this has just worked out so nicely I can't refuse. It's not quite full time hours - M-F 5pm-8pm and 8am-8pm on Saturday - so I am going to look for something else too for the days. But it gives me a nice starting point without having to jump into a job & flat I'm not sure about. Most flats run at about £70 per week, plus a £200-£300 deposit. Now times all that by 2.4 to get the Cdn value... a hefty start off fee.

I'm going to do a few hours training this week and then Saturday I do a 12 hour shift on my own. And the hostel is already booked out for the weekend. Hello deep end, so we meet again. I just pray no one pisses on the carpet this time.
