A Working Weekend

I had to work today (Saturday) and had a really long Friday.  It was Conference Time!  I’ve been working on this on and off since September and continuously since the beginning of April. I think this was probably the best conference we’ve put on so far.  I haven’t read all the evaluations (hopefully I’ll get [...]

Antarctica: Denied

I have always wanted to visit Antarctica, but never thought I’d get there.  How would I, right?  Only researchers and military types get to go there.  Well, I’ve since learned of tourist cruises that visit the continent and also job opportunities open to us ‘normal’ people. So… for the past year and a half, I’ve been looking [...]

Manic Friday

So… Fridays.  I hate them.  Strange, I know.  Not only is it the start of the weekend, but I finish work early!  You’d think that would mean lots of time to be productive or whatever, but I usually seem to get all zombified for the entire afternoon and night.  I guess it’s all about winding [...]

Multitasking Much?

Another multi-tasking photo… Let’s see, we’ve got a laptop and book for some data entry I’ve been doing for the museum this week.  Tech News Today.  A chat window and some file management.  Also open was Tweetdeck, Chrome with several tabs open and probably a spreadsheet or two…

A Working Weekend

Hurricane Work

So… yeeaaah…. things are a bit busy at work!  I do NOT like my office being so messy!! We’ve got a pile of boxes (some empty, some full) for my conference preparations.  There’s a table-full of resources from our shopping trip last week.  I need to sort it all out and organize it, make discovery kits and [...]

Shopping!!!

There’s plenty I need to be doing tonight but I’m beat so this blog post is about all I’ll be accomplishing.  Maybe it’s the late nights I’ve been having.  Maybe it’s the 13 hour day I just finished. Or maybe I’m tired because of all the SHOPPING we did at work today!  We haven’t updated our [...]

5 Things I Wanted to Be When I Grew Up

1. F-14 Pilot – I would have had to move to the States for starters… and have new eyes as my father smashed that dream fairly quickly by saying my eyesight wasn’t good enough.  Then I realized I just wanted to be Tom Cruise because my next dream was to be a… 2. Bartender.  I [...]

My Favourite Job

Right now, I work as an Administrative Assistant at a local college.  I love my job and it really is the perfect job for me.  I have a fairly flexible work schedule, the perfect balance of human contact, the freedom to take initiative, learn new things and incorporate my interests into my position.  It’s the [...]
