Life Without Structure

So, what do I do these days??

Well, I look for jobs to apply to, type cover letters and broadcast letters and complaining about the online resume submitting system to fellow job seekers. I found that when I have really no plans for the day, it is hard to get up till 11 am and it did not help that I was having trouble sleeping the pass week as well. But then, why wake up when all you have to look forward to is typing letters? To pass time, I watch DVD that I borrow from the library. I think I need to find a job quick before I go nuts from having nothing to do!!

This week has been better, I have schedule a few things in during the day so waking up is no problem. Met up with a former classmate and just chill and hangout which was a nice change of pace but the biggest surprise of all is asked to be interview for a job that I did not apply to!! What happened was I submitted my resume to the Waterloo office for a position they have at that office but they forward my resume to the Vancouver office who did not advertise they are looking for ppl. It is true that 80% of the jobs are hidden and not advertised...so, network network network! I do hope I wow the interviewer on Monday...alright back to interview prep...going through all the service CRA offers. I am up to B :P

Zambia - Day 10 , 11, 12

Bye Zambia!

Circling over London as we wait to land

Going back to Calgary

Day 10
Our ride back to Lusaka was alright, nothing exciting happened and I ended up sleeping for half of the way. After a quick walk through the flee market, it was off to the guest house. While waiting for the room, we saw survivor with all African ppl. It is the same as the one we see in US and Canada but only with African host and all African ppl. I joke around with one of the team members as to which wild and remote location they would be send to because Africa is pretty wild and remote already. We joked that they should send them to New York and one of the challenge is to fill out an IRS income tax form correctly.

Day 11
Today, two of the team members left already and it was warp up meetings and packing. The biggest excitement was me trying to figure out how I am going to carry two drums back to Canada since they can’t be carry-on.

Day 12
Today, we got up extra early to go to the airport because we heard the flight was over booked. At the airport, we ran into some delays since British Airways’ computer was having trouble hooking up with the satellite and the data base back in England. We were delay for a total of 3 hrs and because of this we got a free hotel room for it. I try to stay up for most of the flight to adjust my time zone since I arrived in Calgary at 7 in the evening. The flight was uneventful which was a nice way to end off the trip.
