Opportunity

 I'm looking forward to watch SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE tonight and hopefully enjoy their comedy once again. 

NOTE: Update. No SNL cuz it was a hockey game schedule for V. CANUCKS vs Calgary Flames.

I had just woke up from a slumber, afternoon nap actually. I feel more sleepy when the sun is up and the weather temp. is hot. It's getting hot, well because tomorrow is officially the beginning of Spring. yey!

Too bad that I don't have  a garden to cultivate and attend for its maintenance. I missed my garden. Oh well, with the rising cost of rental housing and apartments and condos there is no other option but stay here at the old apartment. I know it is surreal for most other people who are in dire search for houses  to stay as in the pandemic had all housing units, apartments and condominiums are un-affordable even if the minimum wage is now up to $15.65/hour. The wage has increased but the high cost of living goes up and not to mention the price of commodities are increasing rapidly as probably everybody knows the price of gasoline is outstandingly outrageous. It was $2.00/litre (price of gasoline) last week and what about today and tomorrow?

Then workers being laid off or terminated maybe because employers want newcomers in the workforce meaning they wont have to deal with workers who are already in the over minimum wage level ($17/hour to over $24/hour + benefits)  and because the pandemic had them shutdown or in closure for two years then new workers mean they have to deal with just paying minimum wage of $15/hour or $15.65. Clever or wise strategy for employers but not good for those workers who were there since at the time before the pandemic. First thought loyalty plays the biggest part in the workplace. Anyway, whatever. A highly competitive highly skilled workers wont have problems in search for another job. It is the employment or the workplace who will look for them. 

Love your work. In our new generation when the competition is high, it is too risky to just leave one job to another unless it is necessary and its because the pasture is greener in another place of work. Grab opportunity when it happens.
