Unemployed ~ Again !!!

4 January 2010 marks the first day that I am officially out of work, again! I was not forced to quit but it was my own decision. I feel that my employer doesn't like me because mine and her cultures are completely different. To put it in a simple phrase - we don't speak the same language. I told my colleagues that I'm sure will miss Europe....(probably, but the desserts.....of course!) Furthermore, my husband decided to move out of the country very soon. So it is good that I quit now or otherwise I have to serve a two-month notice period. That will be a disaster!

I am so... very hopeful that my husband gets the job that he really wants. Once it's confirmed, we will start packing and search for shipping company. I am very good at packing and get everything ready to be shipped. I am not sure where we will be heading to this time but it definitely is not Europe. I am very glad if we could move back nearer to home, although not exactly at home.

After about 1 and 1/2 hours in the office today for the final handover of jobs (because none of my bosses were in the office for the last 2 weeks of 2009) I went to do groceries like I did before I started working for the company last October. I went to the library and borrowed 3 books which I should have done during first half of 2009. I want to read books from my favourite authors before we move out of the country so that I will not waste money buying them. Back at home those books cost more than 30.

I am going to start budgeting my money in the bank. I paid my membership fee, house financing and will set aside probably 2,000 for suit. I am left with 1,000 but I want to buy a grill pan which is very expensive back home and 1 knee length blouse. I wish I can buy more Wii and Nintendo games but I don't think I have enough money. My husband is planning for Istanbul trip with a good hotel. I need to budget for this as well.

However, I treat myself with cheese & onion pasty and thornton's chocolates today. I always feel hungry at work but have no idea what to eat.
