Hello girls, just thought I'd share a video. Got me rolling on the floor laughing my head off. My chest hurts from laughing so much. If only course evaluations were THIS interesting for my classes...we Canadians need to be more creative with our comments on the course evaluation forms. We're completely losing to the Singaporeans!

That's awesome Shanno, be good to the coop student!
I just went to an interview today, I think I really have to teach myself not to sound so interested at other interviews from now on. The woman said she loved me and would like to meet me in person and want me to meet other people at the company. It's just a 17 employee company by the way so it's not that big. She then continues on to say that the pay will be $1500/month, I was so shocked I couldn't even say anything to her for about a minute, I just said 'uh-huh'. I sure hope the other student she interviewed is more enthusiastic about this job, cause I sure ain't gonna work for that little money. Maybe I can put my negotiation skills to work and get her to double that amount. I highly doubt it though.

Hey ladies :)
So this is what's happening in my life. church. work. boyfriend. church. work. boyfriend. Nothing new really has happened lately. But i am loving the job. I just had a meeting with my manager today and she told me that she and everyone else in the company (that interacts with me) loves me :). I was quite flattered.
Today we had a discussion about my goals for the future and I told her that I really wasn't interested in being an agency recruiter because of the selling component as I would feel awkward and therefore would sound awkward. She completely understood and said that selling just isn't in my personality. She told me that she would make sure that I could learn as much as possible at the company I work at now. And when I've outgrown the position to let her know cuz, she would probably be the one looking for an HR job for me :). It was a nice conversation.
Also - Come January I will be in charge of the coop student! I'm very excited! I hope I'll be a good "boss". Plus, I won't be the lowest in ranking anymore!... but I don't think that i'm the lowest in ranking at the moment? (LOL i'm babbling)
So that is what's up with me!
We should hang out when Thi gets back and before Shirley leaves. I propose Dec 8? But that is exam time. I have plans on Dec 7, 9 and 15. Other than those I should be free =). Tah Tah ladies.

Thi, congrats on everything! Almost seems like I'm always one of the last people to know about the new guy and stuff like that. But oh well, atleast I know now! =) You're super lucky, get to go off to Barbados while we're studying our asses off for finals and everything.
Update: You know how you girls were talking about a "turkey drop"? Which is the time of the year where all assignments and work are due and that's around after thanksgiving day. As for me, I didn't have a "turkey drop", I had a "birthday drop". The weekend of my birthday I was spending it all on assignmenting and missing a ton of sleep! This week is going to be one of the worse weeks ever. I have 2 more assignments due on Thursday and then once that's over, I have 2 tests next week. When you guys think I might get some rest, I have 2 practical lab exams the week after that! Hah, and you know what that brings me when I'm done those? EXAM WEEK! waaaaaaaaa =( (see how lucky Thi is when you're compaing me to her????)
I'm not sure if I told you guys that I won't be here for christmas break. I'm leaving on the 14th of December to China with my family. (Finally after 20 years we go on a vacation) So I won't be able to do the Secret Santa. =( But I'm only gone for 2 1/2 weeks and will be back in the mid of first week of January. So if you guys are still available we'll get together or something. Mike will be in Vietnam with his family and won't be back until the 13th of January so I am single until then! *wink wink* You know what that means...I'M A FREE WOMAN! Haha.
So that's the update I have for the moment, I better get back to my math assignment before it's too late! Hope everyone's doing good!
p.s. what would you like to do for your birthday Simone? =)

Hey Girls!
I don't remember the last time I actually posted something about myself so I guess heres an update :)
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time studying for my mutual funds license. I passed my first exam :D theres another one on the way, but i'm almost done! I'm been waiting for this time of year to approach just because our fiscal year for the bank ends and a new one begins. So that means I get my raise!! :D My plan was to wait until I get this raise and then run with it :D With the new year theres been a lot of changes at work.. I can't complain because it's helped me stand out even more then before..i'm kicking ass ..lol , I get soo much support from my managers it's awesome!
After soo much hard work this year, td is forcing me to take the rest of my vacation. so i'm off to Barbados on Saturday morning and returning on December 3rd :D I can't wait!
Some of you have already known about the new guy his name is Dave and we're offical now. He's white, 6'2 and 27 years old so we look really funny together..LOL
Enough about me, it's that time of year again! Christmas is almost coming.. some of the girls were thinking about Secret Santa once again. I think it's a great idea plus it was fun last year and a lot cheaper then giving individual gifts. I was just wondering if someone different can do the planning for this so we all have a chance to plan. someone new would be great! any volunteer? Mya, thank you for planning Shirleys early suprise party!
As well, did you girls want to go to the ballet and watch The Nutcracker this year? I haven't been since I was 14 years old. Lisa, I know you saw it recently :( I hope it's okay. Maybe we can do this as a Christmas get together in Mid-December. If you guys are interested I can get the tickets for $41 each at work. Let me Know!!!
oh, those of you who have facebook... take my ' who knows me best' quiz. you guys better get 100% :P
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY SIMONE!!
have an awesome day :)

Something really weird happened to me on the Greyhound today. I finally got around to reading The Little Prince so I decided to finish it on the bus ride back. I highly recommend it to you girls, it's a children's story but it's very inspirational. But anyways...back to my story. Near the last few pages tears just started to fall! It's the book's fault! I quickly closed it and turned my head so the girl sitting beside me won't see and started to wipe them away with my shirt sleeve. But I couldn't get what I read out of my mind so then the tears continued to fall! People kept telling me it was a classic and I didn't believe them...until now.
Here's a little quote from the book:
"What does tamed mean?"
"It means, 'to create ties'..."
"You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed."
So as an extension to Mya's post: I think I've been tamed by you girls, ties have been create, and if these were to break tears will fall.

Hey Girls, I hope everyone had fun last weekend. Shirley, you're sooo right, I haven't been creative since gr.8 so i better be seeing that crown around for awhile. I'm glad you like the little gift I got you, but geeze you are pretty hard to shop for. I walked for litterally 3 hours trying to figure out what to get you. Mike couldn't do much help, but at least he eliminated the things NOT to get you. LOL
On personal note:
I've known some of you since elementary school and some since high school days but regardless I can't believe we're still in touch, we don't have the sisterhood title but you guys are all great friends to me. I realized how much we've mentally grown, but it's just so great to look back in the past when we were all care free. I have faith we'll keep the friendships going and even stronger in the future. I will always be behind each and everyone of you girls, cheering you on. I hope you all feel the same way as I do.

Love you guys much! *hugs* & *muah muah*

Also can you all either text or send me an offline message on MSN of your cell numbers or any other numbers that I should know to reach you. Thanks!

This week has gone by real fast. Just last week I had reading week and all I did was work every single day. Did not have any time to rest and catch up on sleep. So far school has been good but the weather is getting colder and colder. =( Can't believe 1st semester is already 1/2 over. Oh yeah, did I mention to you guys that I will be going to China for 2 1/2 weeks for the winter break? Well now I just did. So I won't be in town for the holidays. The last time I had an overseas vacation with my whole family was when I was 2. 20 years ago! Haha. Hope it would be a fun little vacation enough though it's so short. I'm leaving Canada so that means now Christmas for me! Don't even know if China have Christmas or not.....=S
Why the hell am I talking about Christmas already when I didn't even say anything about my birthday? Haha. BUT, I really don't have anything in mind about my birthday. Kind of thinking of not even doing anything? Don't want to waste brain power planning something and money doing something. That means I'm just plain lazy and cheap!
Anyway I don't know what else to blab about other than the above. So I guess I'll just end here.
