What do you look for in a job?

September 18, 2009

Via twitter I stumbled on this blog post the other day: Trying to keep young employees from quitting? It’s not about money.
It’s an old post from Penelope Trunk’s blog, who is the creator of Brazen Careerist - which, by the way, is another social networking site that I am now a member of. Anyways, the post basically highlights [...]

One Year

September 2, 2009

August 30 marked one year since I moved to Kamloops. And I think I have grown more as a writer, girlfriend, daughter, friend and a person in the last year than I have any other year of my life. It was a hard year, but it was also rewarding and fun.
A new school year, possibly MY [...]

This week…

July 31, 2009

…I only ran once. Exhaustion and the heat prevented me from getting up early to run. I know, I know, I shouldn’t make excuses - but I am.
…I felt very, very homesick.
…I was praised on my writing, at work.
…I also received some constructive criticism on my editing skills, which is bothering me more than it [...]

Burnt out

July 29, 2009

Taking a break from the scheduled Q & A to use my blog for some good, old-fashioned bitching.
I’m burnt out. Big time.
It has been so, so, so hot here. Yesterday it was 41 C (106 F). I’m sorry, but that is TOO hot. I know that some of you live in much hotter climates than [...]

Harry Potter, Twilight and HEAT

July 23, 2009

It’s been awhile since I did a bullet post and my brain was full of mumble-jumble last night so here we go.
- I’m still going strong on recording everything I eat. Working out has fallen by the wayside this week, though. It’s SO hot here that I only want to work out (run) in the [...]

Summer is….

July 21, 2009

First, thank you so much for all of your wonderful comments on my last post. I was feeling antsy about putting that out there. I always forget about the overwhelming support of the blogosphere. You guys are amazing.
Eric and I spent the weekend in a small town - actually town’s not the correct word, more [...]

Picking up my socks

July 2, 2009

June was a whirlwind for me. Home, starting my new “job”, training for my second half, meeting new people, visiting friends. Busy.
It was a blast, and I can’t believe it’s over, but I’m also kind of glad it’s over. I’m hoping July will be a little more relaxed. Actually, scratch that, July IS going to [...]

I’m in love….with my job!

June 25, 2009

Those of you who have me on Facebook probably saw my ecstatic status yesterday:
Amber is over-the-top excited that she’ll be staying on at her internship part-time in the fall.
Yup, that’s right, I got offered a part-time job when I go back to school in the fall, which I am so freaking excited about because I [...]

Mumble Jumble

June 24, 2009

First, thank you all so much for the AWESOME comments on my last two posts. Both posts I wrote from my own, opinionated stance, but all of your insightful comments really opened my eyes to different opinions and perspectives. Especially on the post about love. That’s one of my favourite parts about blogging, throwing something [...]

Weekend update

June 15, 2009

- I started watching the first season of Gossip Girls this weekend. I’m obsessed.
- I’ve started joining a local trail running group for runs on Saturday mornings. This has been a challenge for me because a) the runs are at 7:00 am and b) we have been running for 60-80 minutes each time on hills [...]
