So apparently getting a boyfriend is easy, just quit your job! Now I'll be expecting an assortment gentlemen lining up at my door with with red velvet cupcakes and the complete series of Offspring! Now this is my idea of true love.
My current job is in retail, with bunch of great/wonderful/special/beautiful/hilarious/super clever peeps, who over the past 2 years have become some of my closest friends and biggest supporters.
I'm also lucky enough to work for a couple of terrific bosses, who have always been supportive.
So I can guarantee you I'll will be shedding a few tears on my last day before smashing a few espresso martinis at our local drinking hole Byblos later that night to celebrate.
Me: Maria are you coming into the shop today?

Me: Yeah
Maria: Yep, what's up?
Me: Umm, I'll be leaving work in late October.

When I rang my boss Maria, to tell her the news of my resignation, the conversation went a little bit like this:
Thursday MorningMe: Maria are you coming into the shop today?
Maria: No I'll be in Monday morning, a new girl is starting. Did you want talk to me?
Me: Yeah
Maria: Yep, what's up?
Me: Umm, I'll be leaving work in late October.
Maria: Oh why?!
Me:
Maria: Wow, we are going to miss you, can't you just go for a week and get it out of your system?
Me: No
Maria: OK.
3 hours later...work phone ring.
Me: Hello, Worlds Best Work Place Amanda speaking
Maria: OK ,so I have an idea. What if you go overseas for just November, December and January while the Uni students are on holidays, so they can cover for you, then when they go back to uni, you come back too!
Me: No.
Maria: OK.
New Girl: Oh, I have a cousin who is a Pilot!
Maria: Perfect!
New Girl: He lives in Adelaide.
Maria: Well that's not going work.
(at this point my face was as red as the Canadian flag)
Me: Great plan, but you have 5 days to find me Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Passenger before I book my flights this weekend.
Maria: Well I suggest you make sure your flight is refundable!
5 days later during monthly team work meeting...
Maria: OK everyone, Amanda thinks she is leaving us, but I am not accepting her resignation because I have a plan! Does anyone have a brother, male cousin, a guy friend who is single? If we find her the perfect boyfriend she will be crawling back for her job!New Girl: Oh, I have a cousin who is a Pilot!
Maria: Perfect!
New Girl: He lives in Adelaide.
Maria: Well that's not going work.
(at this point my face was as red as the Canadian flag)
Me: Great plan, but you have 5 days to find me Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Passenger before I book my flights this weekend.
Maria: Well I suggest you make sure your flight is refundable!
No Joseph and no Passenger, very disappointed.
Well my flights are now officially booked and there is no looking back! No boy is going to stop me, even if you are a dreamboat , you can't compare to my dream waiting for me in Vancouver.
Sorry Maria, I'll send you a post card :)
But remember, If your ever looking for love, forget dating sites just give Maria a buzz!
Until next time Lovers!
