hey guys,
lily, not that we shouldn't meet as a group or anything, but why so much pressure on getting us together? did someone complain or something? (just wondering) because as awesome as it would be for us to hang out together all the time, i kind of understand that we all have tons of stuff going on and that's not always reasonable or possible. so, basically i'm just saying, no pressure. i get to see you, specifically, four times a week anyways :) haha. oh yeah, i hope your dad is good.
so i went to see aarie perform on saturday. was good but the sound was a bit weird (dan said the treble was on too high but i have no idea). but i mean, the point of the show is not like, to make it into american idol and criticize the crap out of it or whatever so yeah. i'm glad you decided to do that aarie. way to show social responsibility!
joanne, a while back i got a wii and my mom went crazy thereafter and bought many games (or at least it seems like many to me...) so when you come back we can have an even crazier wii party because we will have 4 controllers! yay! (i have the beijing 2008 olympics game, hahaha. i haven't played -- been busy -- but dan said fencing is fun.)
ann, i totally know what you mean when work gets in the way of things...
but yeah, omg, you should totally apply for a job at kerrisdale HSBC. we have connections. i also have connections with HR people at HSBC but i think they're quite tenuous so i don't think they're of help (when i volunteered for the ubc life sciences career fair hsbc reps were there for some reason and one lady liked me and gave me her card).
okay, so everyone, please let me know how douchey you think this is... really. because i kind of feel bad thinking about it. so yeah. after lily and i finish chem mid june, i've got a month off before i start bio in mid july. i don't want to work during biol, but at the same time, i feel like i will have nothing to do during the month off. i haven't had more than 2 weeks without having to work, be in school, be away somewhere (disneyland!!!), or be volunteering somewhat regularly (or some combination of the above) and it actually is really stressing me out.
so my dilemma is, should i work? i mean, i would feel so douchey just working for a month (i mean, it takes what, two weeks, to train?). the thing is, if i could work like, even 20 or 30 or even more hours a week, even at minimum wage, i would be cool with that. it's not like i'm in deep waters in terms of money since i hardly spent money in high school and worked part-time, but i feel safe with money in the bank. it really makes me feel... safe. that's it. i can't think of any other way to explain it.
anyways, so i don't want to work anywhere small where i would feel like they invested a lot in me... i also don't want to work anywhere too familiar because me working there and leaving really fast would taint it. i was thinking of working at the safeway at sasamat. they have super high turnover and always have their "now hiring" sign out. apparently, the manager is an ass.
...sounds like my kind of place! also, safeway is a notoriously shit place to work.
what do you guys think? is that still totally an evil move? (i already have cash and bakery experience so i would apply to bakery first, then cash)
i know the job should be about suiting me, etc, but i still feel really horrible about this potential move. i don't know. what to do?
