Last Day at the Bruce
So today is the last day I’ll be working for the County of Bruce as a Web Specialist. Soon, I’ll be finishing moving out of my place, and starting my new life in Brockville. Everyone is coming to talk to me, wish me well, and give me a good send…

Lunch Out With the County of Bruce
So today, everyone took me out to lunch. Both the HR and IT departments came in full force, and Daryll from maintenance, who has been a great person to work with, even found time to come as well. All in all, there were around fifteen of us sitting at two…

Last Supper Last Night
So last night, I was invited over to Andrea’s place. Andrea has been my “Walkerton mom” and close friend while I’ve been here. Her knowledge of everyone, her connections, and her continuing invitations over to her place to share in her family’s experiences has been a huge saving grace while…

Posted on Problogger
So recently, I posted on Problogger about my intentions to start blogging in a way to hopefully build a small business for myself, and it wasn’t really met with the greatest of responses… Basically they told me that I wasn’t confident enough in myself, and that I shouldn’t be asking…

Packing Sucks
I move a lot, too much, but one thing that never changes is how much I hate packing. Getting my stuff together and putting it in boxes is an activity that ranks pretty high on my list of things I’d rather do later. Unfortunately, I’m running out of later and…

Connected Feeling
I need to find people that I can be friends with that are interested in writing/blogging often. I don’t feel very connected to many of the people in my life because I don’t communicate the same way that they do, and it has become a serious issue for me. You’d…

Update to Authoring a DVD
In a recent post (Authoring a DVD That Works), I was having issues creating a DVD for a co-worker, and as usual, my copy of Nero saved the day. I didn’t even notice the option to burn a movie DVD, and what’s even better is that the software can transcode…

Security at Work
Last night, a few co-workers of mine implemented the new SonicWall firewall, and now I can’t access a variety of different websites. It is annoying, but not totally unexpected. One of the biggest issues for an organization is controlling access and keeping things secure. The best way to do this…
