And the Fire is Sooo Delightful

So as you have probably gathered from my lack of depressing blog posts, I got the job! (see last post).

I'm now working at McGill University in one of the College of Medicine Departments working as an assistant. It's not the communications or writing job I had been trying to get, but I am really enjoying it a lot so far. The people I work with are really nice and fun, and I'm learning a lot of skills. Plus, now that I'm Internal, I can apply for other positions as they come along. I plan to stay here for awhile, but this job will definitely open up some doors for future positions.

I forgot how fun working in an office around Christmastime is. There are treats coming in the door all the time, and I'm definitely going to have to start going to the gym in the new year! I've really been missing playing Squash, and I'm hoping to convince one of my friends to take it up. Yesterday we went for Peking Duck with quite a large group, and on Wednesday we're going for lunch again with the smaller office. This is so nice after being unemployed and alone all day for such a long time.

Adam and I are very excited for Christmas. We've decorated a tree, watched our Christmas shows, and on Wednesday (my last day of work) I'm going to buy some egg nog (lait de poule) and spiced rum and relax. We're going to have a goose for Christmas dinner this year instead of turkey, so I'll have to post pictures of our first goose cooking attempt.
