So I'm unemployed again.  Got laid off because of a bunch of stuff at the mine.  NOT about me though, just stuff I don't feel comfortable talking about until the Company puts out their own public statement.  But regardless, I had a great experience at the mine and learned so much, especially these last 4 months working in the exploration division ( Read more... )

I got a job offer today!  It's for the job I was talking about before.  I'm stoked...now, but I've been freaking out and conflicted since yesterday.

My M.Sc. supervisor and a former prof were in town for meetings with an environmental consulting company, and arranged for me to meet one of the people there.  I went down for a 'chat' and had a 2.5 ( Read more... )

Still no word about the job.  They were checking my references on Friday though, so I'm choosing not to panic.  The self-doubt is starting to creep back in, but I'm beating it down with excessive knitting.

Speaking off, I am working my butt off trying to get all of my Christmas gifts done.  I have to have everything mailed out by next week if I want ( Read more... )

So, the job interview today.  It went really well!  I actually walked out of there knowing that I got the job!  That's a little arrogent, I know, but I have a really good feeling about this.  And it's exactly what I want.  They know my extensive background, including the M.Sc. degree in environmental geochemistry, and they want to incorporate that ( Read more... )

This morning was a bit of a rollar coaster of an emotional ride.  Glad the worst of that one is over.

Wait, let me backtrack a bit.

(This is extremely long because I needed to organize my thoughts and get this out of my head.  Long bit behind the cut, short story below.)

( As I've said (oh so numerously) before, I'm looking for work... )

Off to an interview.  Wish me luck!

So I kind of got stood up for my meeting with the guy from Faro. He was supposed to email me last week to let me know when we could meet up when he flew into town yesterday, but didn't.  I'm not going to stress out since I understand that things come up, but it has left a bad taste in my mouth ( Read more... )

I came across a job posting late last night that I am fully qualified for!  Set a goal to get an application sent off by 2 pm today, and lo! managed to accomplish it with a half-hour to spare!  It's a position in town here, and the standard 40 hour week type job.

The funniest part is I've been searching all summer for jobs that I'm qualified for, ( Read more... )

Got a call-back about the Faro job ( Read more... )

Ugh, not well. My roommate has been sick all day with really gross stuff, and now I'm up at 2 am (and all the time between 10 pm and now) with really gross stuff.  Ugh, bad stomach, stop doing this.

The good news (I hope), is that I might have the bead on a job. When I went to Faro last week (awesome trip btw. Gorgeous country), I first went on a ( Read more... )
