Good news! You may remember me mentioning a while back how my old job at ATB was split into two separate teams at the beginning of the year: the HR side and the payroll side. Well, a temporary position opened up with the HR team (People Operations), and I am the successful candidate! :D I felt pretty confident I'd get it. Charleen, my old boss (who ( Read more... )

Hello, LJ-ers! My, my. It's been a while, and this time, I can't even say I have nothing new to report. It's been a busy summer! I'll start with re-capping our summer vacation for now ( Read more... )

Happy 2013, everyone! I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday (I know, it's been a few weeks).

I should really keep better track of my going-ons! I guess I'll go back a month and recap!

( Christmas! )

It's been a while! I guess that just means you get the quick summary of the past month, since the events are no longer fresh in my mind ( Read more... )

Just thought I'd drop in to let you all know I'm still alive! Not much new to report, I'm afraid ( Read more... )

Diet's not going well. Gotta get back on track again! Ugh ( Read more... )

I have decided (again) that it is time to lose weight. I've been fluctuating between the same ten pounds or so for the past decade, save for a few highers ups and downs. (The bracket between my highest and lowest adult weight has been ~40 pounds.) Right now, I'm at my 'high average' weight - still not my highest, but not where I want to be. I haven ( Read more... )

Well, a few things of note has happened since my last entry. We'll call it the good, the bad and the hopeful!

Good: Amanda had her baby! Justen and I went to the hospital while Amanda was in labour, and I got to hold Tristan when he was just an hour old. *gush* He's cute - looks just like Kevin.

Bad: I was fired two weeks ago. I know I brought ( Read more... )

Well, last night's Oilers game was a pretty sad one, but at least this cheered me up a great deal. Even with a horrible loss (we went from winning 4-1 in the second to losing 6-5 in a shoot-out), the last ten seconds of the game made my night. Jen came out of her room because I was screaming so loud. She said she couldn't tell if I was happy or sad ( Read more... )

I'm already excited for Thanksgiving! Renee, Laura and I are taking a road trip up to Ft Mac! Now mind you, the destination doesn't seem to be appropriate for a "road trip" but I'm excited nonetheless. Renee and I were talking about the idea over MSN a couple weeks ago. It'll be my first time seeing her since high school and I'm excited to hang out ( Read more... )
