Summer and Fall Updates

I'm back, after several months. At long last eh? I didn't mean to let this blog die for a bit, I just got caught up with moving and working on employment stuff and looking for work, plus some of my own work on the side.

Summer - I moved, got told (politely) that my resume sucked, and so I spent all of August and part of September fixing it. In the meantime I unpacked and worked on some of my volunteering on the side. For example, my guild on Gaia Online is now on Twitter and on Youtube. I run both accounts myself, so uploads are slower than I'd like to be, but it's getting there.

Fall - Finished up my resume and started looking for work. After about 2.5 weeks, I found a cashier position at a big name grocery store. It doesn't use my degree of course, but at this point I need the money badly and anything will do. I start tomorrow, and I'm nervous but looking forward to it.

On a personal stuff, the family drama crap hasn't gotten much better. On the plus side though, my partner is moving back in mid-Nov. once his working season is over, so I'm looking forward to that!

Hope you all are well.

Follow YouthCo on Twitter

YouthCo, the place where I'm doing my final practicum, has a Twitter account.

They are having their launch party this upcoming Saturday (Jan. 22) to celebrate the launch of their new community engagement campaign. They plan to focus on how many people think HIV and AIDS is "a thing of the past" because treatments and other help are available, and to try to get the gay community in Vancouver (and others) to either volunteer, donate, help spread the word, etc.
