    Thanks, Im not doing to bad :),

    Ive been quite busy with sorting things out for finishing my placement year, and making sure the details needed for me to go back are all in order, driving my things back home for the between period of moving out of the place I'm renting to moving into halls, and trying my best but not succeding in decing on a final year project, amongst other things :(

    Lots of stuff to do and little time to do it, ah C'est la Vie :)

    How about you bella, how's the Job situation, any better?

    NO change in my job situation. I'm still in the dark as to what they want to do with me. Just showing up each day collection a pay cheque.

    Hmmm, I can understand not wanting to push them to make it clearer to you what your posision is, but have you been looking elsewhere, just in case?

    Well on the bright side I know what I want to do with you, but it's a secret ;)

    OOooOO secrets! Tell me! Tell me! Lol ;)

    Yea I have been looking elsewhere. I have applied at another clinic and just hoping to hear back from them. Plus a few other offices around town.

    Well that's good, I hope they get back to you :)

    Would you be off if they did get back to you?

    I would give the place I am at now an option to give me a promise and a contract, and if they wouldn't secure my job for me, I would go to the other place. It's closer and bigger, so that means I will be much busier and have more of an opportunity to learn things. The only real bummer is the place I am at now offers scholarships. I would have qualified for one, but of course the community would like to see that scholarship go to an aboriginal.

    I've been saving for the past two years now, so I can always take out a student loan like everyone else and go from there. Either way, I am NOT giving up. I have wanted this so badly for so long, this is just one small speed bump on the way.

    For the first time ever I have been able to access things on a computer without being blocked at work and I've been around and I've also been working a lot as well. Anything new here? Have I missed much?

    I haven't been around a lot so I wouldn't really be in the best place to answer that :o

    Yes, I have to read some law about insurance right now... but feeling lazy to read the law... those things never really interested me... or maybe I might get the hang of it when I start reading? :o

    It's for an internal audit job... oh well, better get working XD

    Cheers, its not the end of the world if I don't, it would just save me a fair bit of trouble down the road if I can get them sorted out :D

    I'm studying chemistry. It's not fun and very confusing.

    I could help to a certain extent, as university chemistry might be too much for me :o

    Boo again.
    Jeez it has cooled down a bit here today. Fall could be setting in soon. No worries I love it! I love the smell of the leaves falling and changing and the colors. The food. The mums. Aaww...
  • Aug 11, 2011, 04:03 PM
    Aurora_Bell

    |I'm with you Sunny. Fall is my fa vvvvvvooorrrite time of the year :) That's when I do my best cooking. I haul out the crock pot, the oven roaster, and the soup pots. It's been a horrible summer here in NS too. Cold, and rain. It's rained for 8 days straight. Supposed to stop for this week end. I just hope next week end is sunny and clear. It's E's 4th birthday and I am taking her to the ex.

    I must say pumpkin cookie dough is equally as yummy as any other cookie dough. Who would have thought. I am making some right now and they smell amazing. Wash down great with a beer to I must say.;)

    She is going to be 4? Growing so fast huh? Mine will be 8 on Sept. 22. I keep thinking my gosh it was yesterday he wasn't even in school. Now he is entering 3rd grade. Breaks my heart. I yell at him and tell him to stop growing.
  • Aug 11, 2011, 04:21 PM
    Aurora_Bell

    Yup the big 4. She knows everything about everything too. Her favorite saying is "I know mom". 8... wow. Wasn't he just turning 7 a few months ago? I tell E to stop growing all the time too. It hasn't worked yet. She is so excited to go to pre school next year. She's even started a count down. "How many sleeps until big school".

    Now that is way to cute. Thankfully mine does still like school and he is smart. Knock on wood.

    Kids say funny things. I just lost a close cousin a month or so ago to cancer. My dad also isn't well. So Gavin is always talking about death and ghosts. Well he was so serious the other night telling me he wanted me to come down and haunt him in a good way. He is also going to have my husband and I cremated and he is putting our ashes in the same pot so we will always be together. I didn't know what to say to him.
  • Aug 11, 2011, 04:58 PM
    Aurora_Bell

    That's very cute and thoughtful. You're not kidding smart! Most kids don't connect things that way. I remember asking my dad to come down and visit me when I was a kid lol.

    Hey bella I have a word of warning. When baking cookies and drinking some beers the 350 on the oven is NOT the time. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why every time I looked at it the time wasn't changing. Duh! Haha to funny. I did get them in time. A hair darker then the others but still good all the same.

    I crack me up I do.
  • Aug 11, 2011, 05:52 PM

    LOL! I did that with PB cookies the other day lol!! Pumpkin and beer, yummmm. Have you ever tried the pumpkin beer?

    Well it is bed time for this lady loo. E and I are renting a cottage along the cabbot trail this week end. Don't ask me why. I have a perfectly good one only an hour from me. I guess the 4 hour drive is supposed to be part of the oomph factor.

    Take a look at this coast line. Gorgeous. We are camping right on the beach :)

    Hey Sunny :)

    Yeah I do find some time to relax here and there.

    Still, I miss being able to chat as much as I used to here, I guess not enough hours in the day an all that jazz :D

    How are you anyhoo, haven't spoken in a while :)

    I am well. Summer is getting close to end here. Bummer. I am getting in full swing for job searching. I went the other day to a career center for something and ended up having them review my resume and cover letters. I recently redid those. I looked pretty good the way I did it. She didn't make many suggestions so that's a good start.
  • Aug 12, 2011, 05:33 AM
    albear

    That's true, but I think it would be a good idea to show it to more than just the one person, just to see if they can spot anything or suggest improvements.

    Best of luck with searching for a job Sunny, I hope you find one soon. :)
  • Aug 12, 2011, 05:37 AM
    88sunflower
    Your right. When I did it I searched the internet for sites and followed suggestions and a template off this site. The same with my cover letter. But your right. The more eyes on it the better. Whatever helps.

    I hope your day is well. I have to run motherhood calls. I will peak back later.
