Happy Anniversary!

Today is my 1st anniversary working at Carleton University. Time certainly flies. I have noticed a change in myself over the last year. I am happy. People who don't see me often have commented on how relaxed I look, I attribute this to my change in workplace. My last job did not make me happy. I was miserable. Some of you may know what it is like to wake up every morning and dread the upcoming day. It's terrible! In retrospect it wasn't worth it. Now it wasn't always like that. I did learn a lot in my position as operations manager, but the job and the corporate culture changed, and it wasn't for me. If you or someone you know feels this way about their current working situation, tell then to quit and find something else. It isn't worth it. Soon enough another opportunity will find your way.

I love working at Carleton, the people are great, the benefits are great and they are really flexible with your working arrangements, and in one year I have already been given many learning opportunities They are committed to seeing you grow professionally. A great working environment. Now don't get me wrong, there are tough times, but it is so nice to wake up and look forward to the day.


Projects I have take on lately:

1. I joined a political party

2. Started researching the possibility of completing my MBA

3.Internet dating - it is wacked! But seems fun!

4. Sent my resume to the Stephen Lewis foundation, I would like to volunteer there.

5. Researching the purchase of new tires for my car.


Cooking tip of the day: My new sandwich discovery (well wrap). Take a tortilla, spread some hummus on it, sprinkle with a little trail mix, feta cheese, cucumber and red pepper. Roll up and enjoy. It is my new favorite lunch.
