Random Musings (1)Walks are great. I particularly enjoy the kind of walks that make you want to write about walking. A nice walk in the middle of a hectic work day will do wonders for your productivity! It's also a good way to stay in shape depending on your pace. My walking pace is sluggish at best, but I don't do it for personal gain...or weight loss; I do it for the company. Yeah, I'm just that unselfish. Walks can also be dangerous sometimes if you're focusing more on peering into someone's home instead of walking. Now, when I say walk, I don't ...

Random Musings (7)There once was a young man named Thom He had much ambition and aplomb With support from his friends And gas money to spend He drove across Canada with his mom Thom hoped to find a new career That was cool like a glass of beer At first the search was real chill It soon became a climb uphill Running out of funds was his fear Crappy jobs there were a ton But those he simply passed on He never lost any hope And didn’t whine or mope In fact, he was having some fun As several months had passed by He determined with a large sigh That he might have to settle Or fail like the ...

I've done the traditional job search song and dance: job boards, cold calls, company websites, etc. One avenue I hadn't explored were staffing agencies. Essentially, from what I've gathered, which could be totally wrong, staffing agencies provide a service to their corporate clients in one of two ways or a combination of the two: 1) Staffing agencies provide their clients with temporary employees (temps) to fulfill a client's need such as, uh...bitch work. These temps ...

Random Musings (5)When is it time to settle? I mean, you could roam the Earth for your whole life searching and still not find a soul-mate, a partner, love, etc. Don't get me wrong here, I'm not a pessimist or jaded by love or anything like that. I actually am totally into the idea of not settling for anything that doesn't meet one's standards regardless of how inflated these standards may be. However, in the game of life, there're economics in play. Sometimes the seeker can't afford the luxury of an extended search. Other times, the existence of an easy score becomes ...

Random Musings (3)Vancouver’s buzzing this afternoon. It’s a busy day at the office as usual. Lots of work to be done, lunch meetings to be had, and hands to be shaken. Mind you, this is all second-hand information via instant messaging. I’m actually on my couch watching the Food Network, captivated by the display of culinary expertise (the secret ingredient today is cod). In my second year of studies, I was misdiagnosed. The tests that were supposed to have defined my personality and given my life some sort of direction were wrong. Or maybe I had cheated the system by lying to myself ...
