... and now for a real post.
Things with D-bear are good as friends, not as roommates, so we have decided I should move out. I have a few months, though (to worry if I'm being too much of a pain, I guess)...
Remember that HR position at work (at the same office I'm currently in) from October? They said I was great but they're going with someone with more experience? Well, he didn't work out so well, so they've re-posted it... externally. So their "constructive criticism" was to keep doing what I'm doing and showing that I'm interested (keeping in mind that I can't get more HR experience and stay in the organization unless they give me that experience), but they won't actually take a chance on me. Nice.
I found out the position was re-posted because I went to the company website to look up a few things when updating my resume, to apply for a similar position in the Montreal office. I applied for the Montreal position anyway, and they've shown interest, but I'm not holding my breath.
In the meantime, I figure I might as well apply for other positions with other companies. If I'm gonna move, there's no reason to necessarily stay in StC... I'm done school, I don't have any family here, and my friends are all spread out in different cities anyway.
My love life is virtually non-existent. My work schedule is so erratic, and often so tiring, that I can't really do anything with any regularity. For instance, I went to the bonfire on campus last night for Brock Pride, and then Dana and I went for dinner, but I was too tired to go the Vouz as I had originally intended. Which means, really, no hook-ups. Any interest generated at the fire was not followed up at the club, so it dissipates. (That sounds so clinical and scientific! ... oh well)
I've created profiles on various sites but don't have the interest in jumping on the computer after so many hours at the office. So I don't have any interest in "trolling" the site to find people, and I don't have the energy to be all open and bubbly and friendly to reply to the few messages I do get. I try to remind people that the cliche of love finding you when you least expect it, and use my parents as an example (they met the summer my mom swore off romance), but I've been single for like a year now, and pretty much given up, so it can find me anytime now... lol
Last weekend I went to Guelph to visit with HiHi, and then we went to the Bridal Show in TO (Hihi, me, my sister, my mom, and my sister's MOH). Brides can register and get in for free, and get tons of free stuff while there... so I pretended to be a bride. My mom even lent me my grandmother's 3 carat emerald and platinum ring. Fun, fun!
I'm supposed to be like cleaning and packing... but I am SOOOO tired! I think I'm going to Dave's tonight or tomorrow to do laundry. Maybe if I actually lie around and relax for a bit, I'll get some energy. Here's hoping!
Side note: The budget for Tim Burton's "Willy Wonka" was 1.5 million dollars?!?!
I think it wasw sadly disappointing...
