I don't believe. you always made jokes. I don't know when you are serious and when you are just joking around.
No kidding. I am now working two jobs:
1. a full time job Monday to Friday.
2. a shift job managing a crisis hotline from 5 pm Friday to 9 am Monday, that's 64 hours. The shift rotates every 4 hours, i.e. on call for 4 hours and rest for 4 on site.

Me too. I joined the typing pool with American Express 5 days after landing. I was the only male typist.
I got a government job 3 months after. In the past 25 years, I worked non stop - a full time job and occasionally one or two part time jobs simultaneously.
For about 10 years, I had a job from 9 am to 5 pm and another job from 5 pm to 9 am. There are 168 hours in a week, but once a year, I had to work 169 hours. Use your intelligence to figure out why.
The night job was with a mental health hotline. I could sleep at home. When someone was suicidal, I had to manage the crisis over the phone or head to the emergency room to diffuse the crisis. Never slept well for 10 years. Those were the days. I am now too old to lead such a lifestyle.

我登陆12天后就去找工作了，一直干了五年才下岗休养。
我劝过一些新移民在家呆的闷，就出去随便找份工作做，有时同事是不错的，同事之间反而可以象哥们一样的相处，也会给你很多生活安居的建议。
不要小看打工的这份经历，可以做的久，找新工作都是优势，新单位会认为你加拿大的处事经验比较多。
要不就去读书。
总比在家闲着烦心好。

老移民对如何处理抱怨的态度大概有几类。
首先，心高气傲人士确实应该遭受点打击，否则高不成，低不就，無所適從，找不到自己應有的位置，对今后发展不利。西服革履，走在DOWNTOWN OFFICE BUILDING区，你知道他们承担的压力有多大吗？承受压力能力差的人士，还是从基础做起比较好。
其次，关于“抱怨”的定义。梦工说complain不等于抱怨，我看我们所说的抱怨，相当于“怨天尤人”，感叹“新比天高，命比纸薄”。
我最喜欢吃不到葡萄就说葡萄是酸的，在这个问题上，我是狐狸我有发言权。
根据我的研究结果，老实人多抱怨。“很多人都觉得活得累，于是抱怨变成了最方便的出气方式。但抱怨除了眼前的短利以外，很多时候不但不解决问题，还会使问题恶化。如果抱怨上了瘾，不但人见人厌，自己也整天不耐烦。”
“抱怨是人性中的一种自我防卫机制，要完全断绝的确很难。如果你觉得自己根本无法做到停止抱怨，那么至少应该在抱怨的时候提醒自己，这个抱怨只是暂时的出气宣泄，可做心灵的麻醉剂，但绝不是心灵的解救方。”
对于发出抱怨的人士来说，负起自己应当担负的责任是很必要的。楚人文中说的“买份报纸找地方打LABOUR去了”实际上就是一种很现实和很主动的做法。电视台里经常播放的 《辛普森一家》里面有一集，Homer说，We need a doer, not a thinker.就是代表了这个意思。偷渡老大所说的某些移民“不自量力”，大概就要眼高手低有关。
客观条件不具备的要求是没法满足的，这是基本常识，不必重复了。在当前的客观条件下，各位要啥就想办法达成好了，缺钱去打现金工，缺感情上交友网站，想抱怨上51网，想解脱跳401，这些事情都实实在在地发生在我们的身边。如果你要在这个社会中生活，就应该认识了解这些事情。
今天去参加一个活动，主持人问哪些演员，打算如何过中秋之夜。我私下想，那些没有准备好自己买盒月饼慢慢享用，体验“举杯邀明月，对影成三人” 的人士，又要出来大发感慨了。
Good article! No complaint means no improvement. Chinese people is used to keep silence or indifference to social issues. However, it is not good to chinese. No people cares if you don't make any noise. I think the critical point for Chinese is to unite rather discriminate each other.
