Edmonton Life

Hey all! Well again it's been awhile, one of these days I am going to be able to start my post without that statement! I hope people haven't given up on checking on my blog once in a while at least! So what's new with me, you ask? Lol. I am living in Edmonton officially now, since about the middle of January I was done at The Source in Camrose. Looking for a job here turned out to be more interesting than I had first expected. Most of the technology jobs (or at least a good lot of them) are posted through staffing agencies, so there were a lot of hoops to jump through. Although I did have a couple interviews and offers prior to starting my job (after 3 weeks of unemployed life!), I am glad that I held out. Right now I am working at an engineering company called Statec. They are a pretty big company, and so far a great place to work (although officially, I work for Diversified Staffing, so complicated...). I am doing some pretty basic help desk tasks, mostly updating workstations from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, not exactly where I want to be, but for now, a nice job. The job is temporary, and I hope that it can hold out until August for me, because after that I'M GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited about that?! Lol. I am getting really excited for the MBET program, they have offered me a hefty scholarship for this September and the program runs straight through Spring and Summer of next year, so I will be done in August 2008! Other than that, life is pretty good, just trying to relax and enjoy little things as they come and go. Haven't been very good at keeping in touch with everyone since I've been living here, but please give me a call anytime, I'm always up for a drink (whether it's coffee or something stronger) or an interesting new adventure!! Hope life is treating you all well....
