I\’m doing laundry earlier today and my cell phone starts ringing with an un-familiar Quebec number…  Didn\’t know who the hell it was but I answered it anyway, turns out it was this woman who\’s opening a travel agency a few doors down from my old job who\’s in LOVE with my cooking.

I guess in a way I should be flattered but she\’s crazy!  I swear to God she has to be on something!  So she tells me to get \”settled in\” at my new job/school and to give her a call.  Why?  Because she still wants me to cook for her a few times a week.  She says to me well of course I\’ll pay you (well yeah I don\’t volunteer my time quite like that).  So I\’m a  little on the fence about that because well she\’s just plain strange.  But she also wants me to help boost her travel sales and promised me a commission which might not be bad…

I don\’t know why she adores me so and my former boss started spreading this ugly rumor about how reliable I was and all these nice things, how dare she 😉  I am compelled to wonder if she\’s just doing this because either A: She\’s trying to help me out because its no secret that I\’m a tad broke temporarily since I\’m putting my dentist\’s kids through Harvard  & my hours were reduced drastically for four months *or* B: She has an ulterior motive because she knows that I don\’t really care for her all that much.  In any case I\’m perplexed just a little bit…

The one thing that really irritates me the most was that someone from there gave out MY PHONE NUMBER to her without asking me first.  I mean really, that\’s FAR from being OK.  No matter how beneficial anyone thinks it might be for me, its common courtesy to call someone first and ASK if its OK to give out a former employee\’s personal information like that!  I would have said OK for other reasons totally un-related to her request due to a former agreement we had but its the lack of respect that really irritates me the most.  But you never know, I could make a lot of money out of this deal!  Depends on my workload at the new place first and my days off and what not…
