Current Update

Wow, haven't posted here in ages. Been so busy with school, looking for a job and being lazy. Sorta been neglecting a lot of things. But, always looking to the brighter side, I'll enjoy being a bum after graduating...at least for a while.

October was work work work. Only got to have a little fun during Halloween. Alex and I decided not to go to Fearfest to freak ourselves out again this year. So we just had a nice walk around the neighbourhood. The kids were so cute and the houses were so crazy. One woman had her whole house decorated and dressed up like Edward scissor-hands. The effect was amazing. It was a nice breather. I ate all the candy I could eat before I pulled out 2 more of my wisdom teeth. One more wisdom tooth to go! Oh yea, Tylenol 3 does not work, and it does not get you high, it just gives you horrible stomach pains. Add to the fact that you can't eat anything, eating Tylenol 3 on an empty stomach is not a good idea. Then, besides looking like half a blowfish, you don't really wanna do anything. So, I haven't went to school for 2 weeks now because of it and now I've lost all interest in going. Uh oh...gotta pick myself up outa the ditches.

Finally caught up in Smallville! Makes me think about my own relationships and my underlying belief in Integrity. I guess that belief keeps me going. The idea that there is some sort of integrity in people and in myself leading us to be honest with each other. If not, it would be difficult to trust anyone. So if belonging and being accepted is such an important trait in humanity, it would be hard to achieve without trust or integrity.

On that note, there's nothing real or honest in the recruitment process. I was never good at first impressions. Now, having to make a good first impression on paper first just kicks up the difficulty meter a notch. Then, needing to make someone believe that you have all the best qualities that they're looking for. Keeping in mind that the qualities they look for are only found in the ideal human. Oh, add the fact that you have to be a good "fit" with everyone else.

I seriously question the goodness that an HR department has on any big corporation. How can people who work in HR be accurate filters to hire exceptional people doing work that they don't understand? So how much of the work I do, do they believe have shaped me to be the best candidate for the position if they don't understand what it is that I do?

Obviously, I lack respect for HR. But yes, I've worked with really nice people in HR who really care about their company's employees and their futures. My apologies to those.

Recently got the new Jay Chou album! The album is of course amazing, and I'm already hooked on a couple of the songs. That "Fa Ru Xue" video has a pretty cool idea.

Been watching the stock market, finally 1st in class for the investment challenge and staying that way! Yea! Now if only I can make a 22% return with my own money. Alright. gotta get back to my Burberry project. Until my next post.
