HEY! [07 May 2010|06:47pm]
Maybe I'll start writing here again too, but in the meantime, I am wasting space online at dilab.tumblr.com!

Ok, gonna try to get back on the writing train.

The last time I posted anything remotely resembling an update was right before exams. Well, I lived through the week. The course I was most worried over, was indeed the worst exam and worst overall mark of the year. Everything else went well though, so I actually came out of the semester with a higher GPA than first term.

I had a couple weeks to laze around and forget as much as possible before starting at co-op. It took a few days to really get rolling there, largely due to people being away, but I'm pretty settled in now. It's a similar feel to my United Way days - there are certain common elements on a day-to-day basis, but it's mostly project-based. Response to my work has been quite favourable so far. Space is at a premium, so I actually sit with a laptop at a table in the VP of HR's office - if she didn't like me, I think she'd have found somewhere else for me to sit. She doesn't have the leeway to hire me on, unless something unforseen changes budget/staffing needs/etc in the near future, but should be quite helpful in the job search process.

The not-too-distant future is a definite source of anxiety. I try to balance it out by reminding myself that my life for the last year and a half has been mostly made up of last-minute decisions, and has worked out quite well overall. I haven't started applying to jobs yet - that process will start soon though. I wanted to get closer to the time when I'll actually be available to work, and also take the time to get some projects accomplished at co-op so I'll have something to refer to. I check job postings a few times a week, for London and Toronto... not very encouraging, but I can't say as that's much of a surprise! As much as I miss income, I think, in terms of "sense of self" or some bullshit like that, I'll be happier unemployed at the end of the summer than I would be if I'd just stayed at the call centre through a fourth year.

Enough about me. Ok, this is still about me, but it more directly affects another person. Well, two other people. My mom and is getting married! I learned of this in January, when I was still posting semi-regularly, but wanted to give her time to spread the word before I put it on the internet. (The quasi gag order was lifted long ago, but just call me Slacky McLaze) A lot of people ask me how I feel about it, some with more trepidation than others. I'll admit the idea takes some getting used to - but, although the actual announcement came to be in January, it's a concept I started thinking about long ago. I'm sure Dad would approve. I don't know the fella all that well yet, but like all that I've seen so far, and certainly trust Mom's judgement, and want her to be happy above all else. The wedding is in October, and I'm maid of honour/sole bridemaid. My brothers are walking her in. She is wearing a fabulous strapless dress in "light coffee", I will be wearing something yet to be found in a dark brown, he will be in his red Mountie serge. Lovely fall colours!

Last night is probably what prompted me to finally write again. Back in April, I got a typically high-speed message from Andrew; what I could decipher was "Jackie Burroughs". Of course, I was in for whatever it was! "It" turned out to be an edition of Bitch Salad - larger scale than usual, in the bigger theatre at Buddies, in two acts, with charity presentations. Jackie agreed to do a piece we'd write (Andrew, me, Heidi, and Kirsten), based on the concept of "the lost erotica of Lucy Maud Montgomery". Even coming up with general ideas and possible plots and characters was immensely fun. The prospect of getting to meet "Aunt Hetty" was also highly exciting.

As it turned out, Jackie wasn't just agreeing to perform what we wrote. She was Very into joining us in the process. We met with her a few times, and the piece went through multiple edits. She had the obvious edge of being familiar with the appropriate language, but she had so many awesome ideas for plot too - while being incredibly supportive and encouraging of everyone else, always soliciting opinions. She completely killed at the show last night - in runthroughs it was a thrill to her how she delivered my words, but to hear her do that with her A-game AND the crowd reaction - WOW. She got a standing ovation, and gave many hugs. (she's teensy, but I managed not to break her) She said she hopes it's not the last time we work together - oh mannn, I hope it works out that way!!

My first exam is in approximately 15 hours, and my brain is rebelling. It's also the exam I'm most worried about. I'm going into it with a mark right on the cusp of what I consider acceptable, and have no idea what kind of mark my group has on our paper that was handed in. It's more than a little stressful... so I guess it's good that it's out of the way first? Once it's over, it's over - regardless of how it goes tomorrow, I can move on, and focus on my other courses.

Note to self: also of importance tomorrow is Mom's birthday - remember to call her, dammit!

It's slightly before 8pm, and aside from another review of what I have to talk about in my section of a presentation, I'm finished my homework for tomorrow. I actually sat down and did everything when I got home this afternoon. At first I thought this was just because both items for tomorrow are group work, and I'm nicer to my partners than I am to myself. Everything that had to be submitted to someone else was emailed by 3:30pm.

Then, an even more amazing thing happened: I worked ahead! I vaguely recall having that sort of work ethic earlier in the school year, but it was a major surprise today after ~4 hours of sleep. I made my slides for a presentation on Friday afternoon, which wasn't such a stretch, as we planned to work on it after class tomorrow anyway, and I was actually looking forward to my part. (I decided to use some ridiculous pictures to accompany the descriptions of Walmart's new target customers). After that though, I went through a long and lame online training module that doesn't have to be finished until the 14th!

Hmm, unfortunately, patting myself on the back doesn't seem to do anything for my fatigue-induced eyelid twitching.

Coffee doesn't work anymore. I still drink it, because it does make me feel somewhat more content to be alive, but it doesn't keep me alert. My new friend (beyond loads of water - because hydration is aces, and who can sleep when they have to pee?) is Rockstar Burner - probably the best-tasting sugar-free energy drink I've found so far, and it brings on the fidgets right quick. Of course, now that I'm aware of its existence, I've discovered it's not stocked at a lot of stores. However, they do have it at school, and sometimes at Shopper's - goooo Optimum. The other day, I also noticed that the store downstairs sells it in the GIANT cans, 710ml. I haven't sunk to that level of desperation yet, but it may well happen sometime between now and April 17th.

Aaaand back to work!

Tomorrow morning, we hand in the project that I am most scared about. Probably good that it's getting out of the way early in the week. It's definitely a difficult project, don't get me wrong, but I have other reasons to be concerned. It's for a prof who I already had last semester. My group project in her class last semester just tanked; I'm pretty sure we passed just on the merit of having handed in an attempt on time. The prof was quite concerned about the whole thing. While I think I would have reflected on the situation anyway, her "active interest" made sure I did so very thoroughly.

There were a lot of reasons it turned out that way, and in comparing it to all my projects that went well, I definitely learned a lot. Communication is key, etc etc etc. I haven't worked with any of those people again this semester, although I'm certain I would have been able to do so successfully if it had come to pass. For the first few months of school, I was barely social at all. I talked to people in class, but ate alone most lunchtimes, and when it came to groupwork I partnered with whatever other stragglers were around.

It was only in the few weeks around exams that I settled into a sort of core group, and actually socialized outside of class a few times. That pod has stuck together this term. It's been awhile since anyone has had time for much fun, but we made it out a few times earlier on, and at least there are still opportunities for lunchtime shenanigans. Project wise, we've stayed together for the most part.

For this particular assignment, our numbers didn't work out, so I volunteered to strike out on my own. I didn't leave it completely to chance, I asked to join a group that needed one more. I'd worked with one of them before quite successfully, and I know she'd worked with the rest of them on several things, so it seemed like a good choice.

We delegated the work early on, have been sharing progress and co-editing by email, worked in person as a group, and met with the prof twice. It was definitely a difficult project, but everyone made useful contributions. As far as I know, all the edited sections were sent to the person formatting the final submission by late this afternoon. Not too shabby at all.

It's just about guaranteed that we'll exceed the mark I got on December's fiasco, but I'm going to be paranoid about it until I make it to the end of the semester. Until then, every time I even see that prof, I'm going to worry that she's about to pull me aside for another one of those horribly awkward concerned discussions. By the time one of those exchanges occurs, there's nothing that can be done about the situation (at least, we had no chance to fix our paper last term). I don't even want to bother rehashing anything that doesn't work out well between now and the end of class - I just want to get on with life!

More of the same. Things are coming along, even though I have yet to completely kick that nasty procrastination habit. Since it started in childhood, I don't know that it can ever be beaten. Hey, bedwetting started in childhood too, and I managed to get rid of it (YES, still in childhood) - and I don't bite my nails much at all anymore either. Getting rid of procrastination just might be asking too much!

Really though, I am making headway - there's just so much to come!

Soooo much to do between now and April 17, including an attempt to see my family for at least one night over Easter. Not sure yet what day I'll be starting at my placement. Officially the session starts in May, but I told them I was flexible. Man alive, do I hope they leave me at least a few days for sweet coma goodness. It seems so far away, yet simultaneously, I don't feel like I have anywhere near enough time to get everything done... which is a pretty good indication that I should get back to work. Puke.

blister blitz [18 Mar 2009|09:44pm]
I am totally zonked, but feel semi-guilted into not delaying this important update: the co-op search is OVER! I got the news early this afternoon; the not-for-profit where I interviewed yesterday wants me! They went through the co-op office, so what I received was basically a form letter via email. This means that I don't know exactly what lead them to choose me, but hey, I guess I'll find out when I talk to them again! (I neglected to mention yesterday that midway through my walk home from the interview, I discovered my fly was down - no idea how long it had been like that. Perhaps they saw it, and took pity?)

The job doesn't pay, but I'm far more comfortable with that arrangement at this type of organization than at some of the for-profit businesses posting unpaid coops. Yeah yeah, the economy, wah wah wah. Really though, what's four more months of poverty? (plus however long after that it takes me to start working at a real job... but let's put off stressing about that for at least a few weeks!) From what I know about this place so far, I truly do feel that the experience will be valuable - aaaand even if that doesn't turn out to be the case in terms of personal development, I think it's still going to look good on the ol' resume.

I never did hear anything from hotel #2. I have no idea whether they decided and it just wasn't updated in the system, or if they're just taking their sweet time. I guess I don't really care at this point!

My other good news (now a few days old) is not really news at all, just a happy maintenance of the status quo. I don't have to move! I had this conversation before I knew where I'd be working, but now that I have that detail settled, I'm happy to say that I'll be able to easily walk to the office. I may be cool with not making any money, but it would have been a little irritating to have to actually increase my cost of living at the same time. Not having to pay for transit every day is excellent.

The only downside to this is that I no longer have a good excuse for missing classes or slacking off on homework. On that note, my comp book is calling my name!

where it's pat [17 Mar 2009|08:24pm]
I really and truly tried to write yesterday, but it wouldn't work! Didn't bother saving what I wrote, as it wasn't particularly enlightening - nor will this be, but I'm just trying to stay in the habit.

So, the recruiter emailed the next day to very politely turn me down; no great shock. I can still use the resume tips. Still no word from hotel #2. That job still shows as open, but I don't know if I can trust that, because so does the recruiter job!

Interviewed at the not-for-profit today, think I did pretty well. This was the first interview that wasn't just talking. They had me take several pages of information about the organization and 3-4 pages of a job description, and turn it into a 250-word ad, in the style of what you'd see on something like workopolis. Only had a half hour to do it, and I was still considering changes when they stopped me, but what I had to give them definitely contained the necessary basics, with some elaboration. They said they'll decide "this week" - I'm hoping that's soon!

Lots to do - exams end one month from today!!!

No feedback regarding healthcare job denial, no news on hotel #2 (so it still shows as open). Today's interview went quite well, considering my level of initial enthusiasm. If nothing else, I scored some free resume tips from someone who knows exactly what he's talking about. That was quite unexpected, and maybe sounds like it would have been awkward, but he was so constructive in his approach that it was totally comfortable. I'm quite thankful that, at the last minute, I decided to print an extra resume. I had one to give him, and one to make notes on myself. There might be a second round of interviews; if I move on, it'd probably be a pretty sweet move to bring in a freshly-improved version, right?

I am totally zonked, so, don't have the energy to report anything else. I still have to get around to sharing that good news one of these days...

rejection injection [11 Mar 2009|08:47pm]
This entry is totally a recycled email to my mom, with slight editing. I'm tired!

Ok, so maybe the 4th time is the charm? I am definitely feeling a little frustrated, even though I have been trying hard to stay realistic, remembering there is a lot of competition, etc. I guess what really irritated me about this rejection, aside from the obvious fact that I was really enthusiastic about the job, was how I found out. The interviewer told me he would be going through the coop office (some employers will call you directly - like hotel #1 did), and that I should get some feedback today or tomorrow.

I didn't get a call or email from the coop office today, but I did check the job listings when I got home from my hotel #2 interview - the healthcare job is filled. I really wish the coop office could have contacted all the candidates before posting that - I think there were only 3-4 of us total, it wouldn't have taken long. I would've liked to know what the difference was between me and the chosen candidate; was it attitude, sense of "fit", computer skills? - and I really felt like the interviewer would have given them that information. They've already shown their disorganization in many ways this semester though, so I'm not exactly shocked.

Most of all, I really wish I'd know about this before the hotel #2 interview. I certainly didn't walk in thinking "I definitely have a job, this doesn't matter", but I would have handled some aspects slightly differently. All of the pre-planned questions, I put a lot of thought into my answers. (In fact, I probably should credit the thought that I might get the healthcare job for making me less nervous today) Having already lost out on hotel #1 to someone with hospitality experience, I worked harder to show how the experience and mindset I do have fits into their culture. The interviewers were quite enjoyable to talk to; they were using standard questions and taking notes, but they also painted a realistic picture of the situation there right now, and we had a few laughs too.

It was toward the end, where were were discussing possibilities of the position, that I'm not sure about my approach. They asked me about any other prospects. I fudged a bit here, saying I'd had a couple interviews earlier, and one next week, likely after they would have their decision made. (as they'd already said it should be by next week). I didn't say that I had any others this week, because I was concerned that it might push me down the list of contenders. walking home afterward, I got a little hung up on this, thinking that after presenting myself with such enthusiasm, I'd look like a bit of a jerk if hotel #2 offered tomorrow or Friday and I'd already accepted at the healthcare job. Given the way things went, I'm glad I didn't tell them.

The other thing that was iffy was a discussion of the timeframe they're looking for. I told them I have some flexibility with start and end times, hours worked, etc. We need 360, but I'd be open to working fewers hours in a week if they wanted me there more weeks in total, etc. They asked about working more than 360... It's not like I intend to watch the clock and run out the instant my time is up, but this job isn't compensated at all, and I can only live like that for so long. I tried to explain this as diplomatically as possible. They're contemplating a few options, as one person in the office won't be there most of September - so they're looking at having the coop start later in the summer/last longer, or having two coop students who overlap a bit in the middle.

I'm not opposed to this idea in itself, but I am a little worried because having to work there through September throws a monkey wrench into my plan of finding a summer sublet from some homebound university student if I have to leave this place after April. Summer sublets don't include September, and I am not ready to sign a real lease in this city! I'm sure it could be worked out, but my uncertainty about where I'd live in that scenario (which I didn't bother explaining) may have translated as overall hesitancy, I'm really not sure.

I'm really not expecting success with the recruiter tomorrow, so things seem pretty straightforward from here. I'll mostly likely know about hotel #2 before my interview with not-for-profit, so if I don't get hotel #2, I know to try even harder. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do if that one doesn't pan out, either...

16 job postings applied to
-1 posting the co-op office decided wasn't HR-focused enough, cancelling our applications days after the deadline
-3 interviews I was "Not Invited" to (that's seriously how it shows up in the system)
-2 interviews I was "Invited" to, and attended, but not successfully!

10 applications remain in contention! Actually, one still hasn't been sent through to the employer about a month after the deadline. Other people have asked about it, as it's definitely an HR job. Apparently the employer hasn't requested the resumes yet. Hmmm... why make the deadline so early, then? Why the delay? What's going on over there? Do they actually want a co-op student, or not? I've basically written it off as an option.

That leaves 9 to be seriously considered. I had one interview today, and I have three more booked in the next week, as a result of two invitations in the past two days. Crazy! I haven't received any more "Not Invited"s yet, either. In theory, that means up to five more interviews are possible without sending any more applications. If that actually happens, I'm going to be rather frustrated, as it would indicate six denials!

In truth, I'm actually hoping that I don't even have to complete the quartet I currently have rolling. Today's interview was the one I have a major personal interest in; the health care organization. I think it went well. Nerves hijacked my speaking skills somewhat, but I still got some solid answers out. I have a very sincere interest in what this organization does, and I believe that got across, and was appreciated. The main interviewer told me 3-4 times that it was a pleasure to meet me - good sign, or just a repetitive individual? We'll see!

In a perfect world, today's interview will contact the coop office tomorrow morning, and I'll know before my next interview whether I got it or not. If I get it, it'll be extra-awesome because I won't have to face another interview! If I don't get it, I'll know to face that interview with extra zazz! Realistically, if I don't get it, it's highly unlikely I'd know tomorrow, since whoever does will have a day to respond to the offer - and it's highly likely the decision won't be sent until Thursday, anyway. That could still save me from Thursday's interview, though!

The timing of all of this isn't exactly how I'd like it. I'm obviously keen for today's job. The interview I've booked next Tuesday is one I'm very personally interested in as well - a not for profit service for youth. The two in between are a hotel, and a recruiter - both jobs/companies seem ok, they just lack the instant intrinsic value I see in the two bookend interviews. The order of my interviews is 1 2 3 4, the order in which the jobs are desirable to me is 1 4 2 3 - but even if I don't get 1, I could very well hear from 2 or 3 (and likely cave into accepting, if offered) before I even get to interview for 4.

Ahhh, it's complicating and stressful and I have blisters from the shoes that match my brown suit, but I'm damn glad to at least be generating interest!

I know for a fact it's going to take me awhile to turn off my brain tonight. I think I'm going to get in bed now, because that almost guarantees being asleep before midnight. If I don't lie down soon, I feel like I'll end up staying awake, perhaps half-assedly working but not really accomplishing anything, way too late. I'm already gonna be Bloaty McCramps at my interview tomorrow, I don't want to be a zombie too!

Edit: I also don't want to be a fart-machine. Perhaps I should have thought of that before making italian sausage and beans for dinner! How [potentially] embarassing...

Sure, I don't have school tomorrow, but being up right now really doesn't bode well for me getting to bed at a reasonable hour in order to face all that Tuesday has to offer; 8am and noon class, and an afternoon interview! At least I finished some work? I'm struggling to turn my brain off now. I almost convinced myself that it was Haircut Time when I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth. I decided to be content with trimming off a couple of the most tragic end/gnarl pieces, for now. I'm actually considering letting someone else cut my hair for the first time in years, but, also considering how many bad "professional" haircuts I had as an awkward youth, and how much of a shock it'd be to spend money (from my skinny, skinny wallet) on that sort of thing after years of avoidance. Yeah, I will probably stick with the self-trims for now. At a time like this, I'd rather stick to having predictable hair, and a coffee budget!

i hit him back with my pet rat [05 Mar 2009|10:35pm]
I've had two midterms handed back this week. Not awful marks, but not up to last semester's standards. I really do have to blame 8am for part of that. I studied as much, if not more, than I did for last term. (I've definitely improved on reading ahead and making notes), but my marks are lower.

Looking over the tests, some of the lost points are on things I legitimately didn't study enough/didn't know/didn't remember. A decent chunk, however, is stupid errors that made sense at the time, but that I immediately understood as wrong the second time around - no futher review, simply by being less fatigued. Yes, I realize that I'm looking at the marked tests at the same time of day as when I wrote them, but I'm less stressed/sleep-deprived this week than I was during midterms.

In one of my classes, I didn't have a midterm, but I did have an assignment due that week, and a couple quizzes and individual pieces of homework earlier. I did well on all of the items that could be worked on outside of class, and scraped by on the quizzes. Yes, I studied! In fact, after doing poorly on the first one, I studied more for the second, and ended up with a slightly lower mark. So much of this semester's content is so dry and specific. Even though I can understand and apply it, I can't regurgitate it on command. Why would I want to, that sounds pretty damn gross!!

but my my [04 Mar 2009|10:45pm]
Didn't feel like writing over Intersession, wanna fight about it?

Last day of exams is April 17th, which feels pretty alarmingly close, given the fact that there are large projects to do in all courses in addition to preparing for said exams. But hey, I keep saying that I just want to get back to working like a grown-up, so it's good in that sense. Just need a damn co-op! Here's how things stand right now. (I'm being deliberately vague on details about the organizations, which shouldn't really be new to anyone who read this last time I was employed)

Interview #1: Took place in the middle of midterm week. Seemed like kind of a secretary-specific-to-HR-department role, at a hotel. Small weekly meal/travel allowance. Felt great about the interview, wouldn't have been surprised if I got it, but knew I had competition. Indeed, they let me know the same week (just a couple hours after my last midterm, fortunately I was coherent!) that they had gone with someone with experience in the industry. I was disappointed, but I hadn't been dying for that particular job. I was mostly just happy to have a real interview under my belt, that had gone well.

Interview #2: Took place in the middle of Intersession. Small marketing office. Unpaid. Very unstructured, basically just a conversation 80% dominated by the interviewer/potential direct superior. The job is basically to act as an assistant to one woman, and if she feels looking at resumes and and ask for the applicants ideas about a couple upcoming projects is enough to find the person she's happy working directly with all summer, I guess that works. I truly have no idea how I did. Haven't heard anything yet. Won't be flabbergasted if I get it, but at the same time, I'm not proceeding as if I think there's any likelihood at all.

Interview #3: Early next week. Large health care organization looking for someone to work mainly with their volunteer program. Unnamed honourarium. One of the things this centre focuses on is something I feel strongly connected to, and I'm quite impressed by everything else I've read. I would love to get this position, and will do all I can to nail that interview.

Interview #4: Later next week. Recruiters. Almost-livable monthly honourarium. The organization seems ok from what I've read so far, and I definitely feel capable of the job - but getting #3 would (hopefully) mean a lot more to me on a personal level. I'm glad the interviews are in the order that they are; hopefully I'll know about #3 before #4 decides. On some crazy off-chance that they both like me, and given the short time we have to accept or decline offers, this could come in handy.

Went to Andrew's show at Buddies last night, and out to Crews karaoke with him et al afterward. Sang Walking on Broken Glass, and was approached and hugged by a guy who has 4 Annie Lennox tattoos and has seen her 8 times. If he liked me, then I must've sounded pretty good, right? That, or he's so obsessed that he likes anything even vaguely related, haha. Got home wayyyy too late, but dragged my ass to 8am class anyway, if only to prove to myself that I'm not too old yet!

Soooo close to done, but the one that's left is a doozy. Two upsides, however. Studying for it is the only thing I have left to do, so I'm feeling focused - throughout the week, trying to multi-task I was getting way too scatter-brained. Unlike the last three tests, this one isn't at 8am, it's at noon! I get sleep tonight!!

One of my "study aids" this week has been letting the tv play badly-edited and/or bad movies as background noise; things I normally wouldn't bother with at all. Yesterday it was Sleeping With The Enemy (even though Dad always said "Julia Roberts can't act her way out of a wet paper bag!", tonight, The Hand The Rocks The Cradle. Such quality, poorly-censored viewing/listening!

I had my interview today, and feel AWESOME about it. I am trying to stay realistic though. I know they liked me, but it's still possible for them to like someone even more. All the same, it went really well in terms of me being able to provide strong answers and examples to everything they asked. I tied the job requirements to my previous experience, while highlighting the opportunities I saw for development; trying to walk that like of being highly capable, but not overqualified. I remembered some great details about the organization for when they asked me what I knew, and got a couple laughs out of them. Finally, I was wearing my new suit, and looked pretty damn good - in fact, I got flirted with in the revolving door (not by an interviewer) - so regardless of what happens with the job, the day isn't a total loss, haha!

The two midterms I've written have gone fairly well, today's a little less secure than yesterday's. I still have quite a bit of review to do for tomorrow morning, but it's familiar matieral overall, I'm not too concerned. I have to finish assembling a paper over lunchtime with my partner, but we appear to have everything done, it's just details pre-printing. Friday's midterm won't be fun at ALL, but at least it's not until noon; I can actually get some sleep before I write it!
