“On-line journals have become hot tool for those looking to land a position or ferret out new opportunities” - Mary Gooderham [Globe & Mail]
I was sitting at work the other day and someone handed me the Careers page of the Globe and Mail - not being immediately insulted I noticed the headline he was pointing [...]

Preaching PR

April 20th, 2007 by Miss604   2 Comments

I’ve been lurking on many PR sites for a while now - ever since I found it essential to educate myself about what corporate communications should be doing in 2007. I’ve been in the industry for 7 years (doing anything from webcasting financial content to formatting press releases) and some people just don’t “get” it. [...]

Office Supplies I can’ Live Without

I’ve never worked in such an officey-office before so when faced with a drawer full of shiney, colourful supplies, I tend to go a little nuts. Most recently I discovered a love for two particular items; Post-It Tabs and Correction Tape.

I started my new job on Monday and it’s a complete 180 from anything I’ve ever done. I’m not at a computer all day, there is a LOT of paperwork and hardly anyone I work with probably knows what a) a blog is b) computers can be used for more than typing memos and [...]

Aside from losing the “g” on my work laptop, things around the office have been pretty uneventful lately. Gus’ conversation with Dell support about the “g” that keeps popping off on me was rather amusing but aside from that, it’s business as usual.

In October of 2000 I was working at a dotcom. It was me, 12 computers, 12 phones and a whole lot of conference call webcasting. It’s what eventually got me over to Boston a couple years later, and then back home a while after that. The way it all started, as some liked to say, [...]

i’m not dead

I’m still alive, I promise. I’ve worked about 30 extra hours in the last week or so and I’m a little tired. It’s the “crazy time of year” and aside from regular overtime, I’ve taken some extra shifts (e.g. working the stat) so that my lovely husband [audihertz][radiozoom] and I can enjoy Thanksgiving [wiki] together [...]
