This week was full to the brim with new and challenging projects, plans, papers…etc.
I think I’ve discovered a routine, which is fitting because I am a creature of habit and do well with structure (hence why unemployment was so discerning for me). I get up just before 6am and hit the pavement to catch the […]
Yess sir ree…. I found a colleague’s blog and appreciated the insight and professionalism and thought, “I gotta get on this and create some integrity around my professional atmos”.
Not that I’m at all well equipped to tout about “marketing” and give real professional advice. I can only draw from what I see, hear and experience […]
Monday, obviously went well. Heels are still a bit tight but are getting more comfortable with wear.
Tuesday; enjoyed another enriching evening at the theatre with GD’s wife and Miranda. Met for eats and drinks at Oba. Started with a VERY tart margarita followed by two glasses of a very nice and easy to drink red.
Walked […]
I have found myself in my element in my new job. It’s not just a job, it’s a career move and I can see a strong future here, I can feel it.
It’s like I’ve found the perfect heels, the kind that are more fashionable than fit; but with the first slide in, my feet felt […]
Friday evening’s class was celebratory. I brought in cookies to announce and invite classmates to have a “Kelly’s got a job” cookie. I got lots of congrats and even a small bottle of Champagne from one of my dearest classmates.
Saturday felt really long. Class seemed to just drag. The 10am guest speaker decided not to […]
After surprising Ryan with a package full of goodies, I hit the gym pretty hard, ran 5.5 miles on the treadmill, which was awesome.
I then came home showered and took note of my list of “to do’s” for today.
1. Stop at Concordia University to confirm Cap & Gown order for Graduation Day on May 3rd- […]
Now that unemployment is coming to a close, I’ve reflected a lot on the opportunity it presented to me and how it all comes down to food.
There was so much I hoped to get done during unemployment (e.g. paint office, organize office, get hardwoods in dining room, spruce up living room, take a day to […]
Saturday’s MBA Seminar spurred a ton of interest in new reading material. I already have about 10 books staring at me telling me to finish them. Some of them are brain candy while some are appropo to career development. In case you are interested they are, as I’m sure you will recognize some:
The Tipping Point
POP

Yesterday morning I met my most missed previous co-workers for breakfast at Cafe Du Berry. Breakfast was pretty good, I wasn’t overly impressed, the service was extremely slow, they didn’t have tea for Aubs, food was good but extremely expensive, so we were a bit late in showing up to our volunteer activity, but it […]
Phew! After a few hours of sheer ambiquity, and feeling sort of lost in negotiation alley, I’ve received confirmation and acceptance of my counter and now it’s the track to full employment status.
I start Feb. 18th, and I cannot wait!
I’ll be a part of something tremendous with a group of people that are tremendous.
Yay, I’m […]
