So the Angel of Death Advisor actually spoke to me like a human being today. Not only that but she praised me! strange, she said my emails back in January/February were off-putting but that she finally understood my frustration with the Brock U system. I was glad I went to see her. My theory has always been “3 classes to go – 2 histories, 1 science context – BE DONE BY DECEMBER 2008″ Great mantra to live by, btw. Well today I learned it wasn’t a theory – it’s fact. And I mean I’ve already fulfilled every other requirement to graduate. ONE MORE TERM people —- ONE MORE!!!!!!!!!! yay!!! Now, how am I going to pay for that? good question…. I think I could call that a payment plan… running scared from the Financial Records office. Working on it.
In other news, I think it’s safe to say I have a fourth job. Being that I’m still looking for a third the fourth should be the third but it’s an on-the-side-of-the-side job. I’ve just found 2 FT receptionist positions for businesses less than a block away from the gym. One requires in-person drop off, the other an email form. Which brings me to my Blah Today posting. I was trying to view the pdf and thought I could see it if I published it. It didn’t work but Steven’s head swelled with my apparent admiration for him and his resume. I’m thinking it’s fine time for me to learn Adobe Illustrator like this boy. Anyone else see the skill on this one? Where is Stirling when you need her?
The fourth-er is a Photography job (yay!) Betsy got a new addition a Canon Speedlite 430Ex external flash and I must say it’s doing wonders. I’m happy to do the fun re-sizing and processing of my photos after I’m done taking the shots (which happens between 11:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. at Charlie Cantina’s in Niagara Falls) and then send them off before I’m done for the day. It actually qualifies as income — $60 a night for about 3.5 hours of work (including travel time). That’s not bad! And I want to work with the photos see if I can add filters and such to them. Something to improve on

Made my first follow-up call today in most likely 3 years. The last one was to Darren who fumbled on the phone to explain how hiring and/or reading my resume had fallen off the priority list. So I guess I should do more follow-ups because while this one today was filled, Darren’s phone call led to a great job and a bunch of great friends and references. I still bug Darren to this day that he never really read all of my resume before my interview. But he hired me so, so what?
Ya apparently I got paid this weekend – for the gym and JP. Who knows where my cheques are. Because I don’t.
