Six euros? :/

yeah :0

That’s not much. :/ Although you did say cost of living is a lot lower.

So how did the first day go?

the minimum wage here is around 3 euros per hour. :0

and yes, that's ridiculously low, which is why Portugal is known as the immigrant country, aka, everybody leaves.


heh, I'm better now. Had a headache through the whole day, along with back pains and stomach pains. I was also the slowest in the group which hopefully nobody noticed. Regardless since we did some extra work today, we should end it sooner tomorrow.

Wow, really?

Oh lol. Makes sense.

As long as you did your best.

you know how europe is. someone has to finance the german economy

Lol. :/

So, what else is new?

they called me for an interview on friday. so that's good

other than that, not really. My brain feels dead after today

What, the same company? For a more permanent position?

*scalps you, then massages your brain*

today I worked at Yves Rocher.


the company that called me was Sitel.

Oh okay. Is this a full-time position though or another temporary assignment?

full-time

basically I would be taking an american job, you know what Sitel is?

No, haven’t heard of it. :0

it's basically an outsourcing costumer service. They make a deal with a business. Example, paypal, paypal get's rid of their costumer service and all calls are directed to Sitel who does the costumer service.

in my case it would be ??????????? which apparently is a thing in america.

Oh okay. Yeah, I see what you mean. I guess language and communication would help with customer service.

that's right. which also means my schedual would be pretty **** since I will have to be working along side your work hours. Which is case you've forgoten it's 5 hours differance

Oh. :X Yeah, that would be rough.

I don’t know why so many kids I knew were eager to grow up. Being an adult is rough.

The act of taking out a heavy burden willingly can be empowering. Having a family helps since you can share the burden.

Yeah. But my parents and I moved away from each other because my dad got a job out of the area. I still see them a couple weekends a month, but unfortunately, pooling together our resources isn’t possible.

when i said family. i ment marrying :0

staying with your parents is fine for a time, but they will turn into chains that'll drag you down.

Oh. Pssh. Marriage is overrated.

I don’t agree. :/ My parents are great. I guess independence is good for character building though. Helps you learn responsibility.

you want to be the old cat lady down the street? Marriage is about building for a future. I don't want to be 60 and be alone.

We all die one day, your parents and mine included. And aging is not like what the movies make it look like. You don't just die one day, it's hell, you deteriorate both physically and mentally. It's not easy, not for the old person or the people around them.

And if you live with them, they become a chain you can't run away from. I saw what my grandmother did to my mother. It wasn't pretty. It's not easy to take care of someone who's lost their mind and body.

Lol. I don’t really care about anyone following after me. I just want to accomplish something for myself.

Yeah, believe me, I’ve seen it with my grandmother. I really don’t want to see that happen to my parents. But aging is something you can change, both physically and mentally, by taking care of yourself. Sure, there are some things outside your control, but I think a lot of people just decide they’ve reached an age where they can’t be bothered to care. And that’s definitely not me or my mom. My dad is leaning that way, so I keep up a constant barrage of nagging to get him to exercise and eat right lol.

I see... careful, the higher you aim the harder the fall :0

anyway, I have to go, good night.

Speak for yourself.

Night. :0
