I wrote this 3 months ago, never posted it because I thought it wasn't worth posting. I'm going to post this right now because I feel like it gives me a good perspective on how I grew and how far I came in just a few months. :)
Wow, such a long time ago when I wrote something on this blog. ALLOT happened in the last few months. It's almost half a year ago I moved to Diemen allready, that feels weird. It actually feels like forever.
First of all I'm going to switch jobs AGAIN, wow. Never thought I would switch jobs this often but I don't think it's neccesarily a bad thing. I like to think I grew allot stronger in the last few months, like in mindset and in motivation. When I lived in Brabant I really didn't knew 'what to do' with my life, especially career wise. The first job I had in Amsterdam was at this newly opening restaurant called 'neighbours', unfortunatly the opening was postponed allot and finally I could begin 2 months later than planned! I had allot of free time! but also my savings were all gone :( that sucked allot and still does! And when it opened they didn't have allot of work for me.. so that sucked even more! I put allot of effort in this job aswell because I didn't really have experience in serving and didn't knew anything about wines, I had to learn allot. I also got pretty sick at this moment as well.. not a good combination, maybe it was the stress of moving to a new place, meeting new people, a new job, money worries :o. I'm still not sure how I am surviving all the shitty things in my life sometimes, but I still am :) Allot of good things happened as well! The time between me quiting the restaurant job and me getting a new job was like a week 8D haha. that was awesome. I got hired at 'dutch&delicious' at schiphol. No surprise I had to work nights as well, but at least there was some money, phieuw. I met some awesome people at dutch and the work is okay :) At this moment I worked at dutch for 2 months and my last day there will be next week on friday. That sounds as if I'm not gratefull for all those jobs or I can't stay in one place, but that's certainly not the case. I'm super gratefull for all these jobs. But let me explain myself. As I worked 9 years for La Place, no one can say I'm not loyal to a company or I can't stay in one place. It's just this, I NEVER got any appreciation for the work I did there. Maybe I got a pet on the back but I NEVER got appreciation, I NEVER got what I deserved. I'm still a bit frustrated and angry about it at this day. I literally worked my ass off for this company and in the last year I worked there, 'full-time', all I got was bullshit in my face and I really was on the egde of being 'over-worked'. I still can't believe they let this happen, I can't believe I let this happen to myself. Seriously, this is what I learnt; Never be satisfied with things/jobs because it's 'easy'. Take the dangerous, scary and difficult road. Better to fall down, learn, maybe take some steps backwards, but never ever stay at the same spot if you're not satisfied. And that's what I am doing right at this moment. That's why I'm switching jobs and apparently it's working.
