Too Good to Be True

We had a bit of a setback. Son K left his new job after only 5 days. It was too fast-paced with unreal hours of work. He tried his best but has learned from this experience and he will keep looking. We should have known it was too good to be true. Now on with today's regular post!

free mini-pastry

McDonald's restaurants run a coupon book event several times a year. I noticed this new coupon where you purchase a small coffee and get a free mini-pastry, so I had one for breakfast the other day. There are 3 flavours, maple, chocolate and raspberry, so I chose raspberry. It was good, and being a mini-pastry, it shouldn't be too bad on the calorie-count!

I always hate the fear of a new job. Even if it's the same company just a different location or role. He'll find something soon

Don't talk to me about calories! Mr Him put 3 lb on me yesterday by feeding me icecream and alcohol in huge quantities. I'm furious with him.

Sorry to hear he had to leave his job so quickly. The same thing happened to one of my family once. I was proud of them for being able to accept that was the case rather than try and tough it out and make everything worse. I hope his actual dream job is just around the corner.

Too bad to hear about K's job. The pastry looks tasty, but I would have had to go for the chocolate.

5 days! Well I guess there is something to be said for knowing what you want or in this case what you don't want.

I seldom do pastries, I've been hear 30 years + and I find that is the one thing my taste buds has not adjusted to. In the Caribbean/Trinidad & Tobago our pastries are a bit different and I find that I prefer those.

Have a blessed week and good luck to your son and his job hunt

Yes, stick to mini pastries! lol.

I'm sorry re: your son but proud of him for seeing the writing on the wall. No job is worth it. We work to live not live to work! I know what that is like...as in agencies. So not worth it!

This must have been a disappointing experience and a difficult decision for your son but I admire him for making such a quick decision and I keep my fingers crossed for him with regard to a new and better job.

P.S. And it's good to see the pastry as for me that means life still has some sweets to offer :)

I'll keep my fingers crossed that K finds a job that is perfect for him.
