A Wee Update

Unfortunately, I didn't get the first draft of my essay out on Friday. I did complete all my research and outline, but I needed to find my printer cables and purchase ink and that ate up some of the afternoon. I've been busy with some other things this weekend, so I will probably end up pushing the essay to next week.

Next week is sort of lost time for school purposes. I have to go to Vancouver on Monday so I can attend a job interview on Tuesday. It's a 'learning experience' job interview because a) I have no chance of getting the job, which is a temporary vacancy in Vancouver and b) I haven't done an interview at this level before. It's a simulation exercise for senior managers, where I'm placed in a fictional organization and have to deal with an inbox full of work and problems. They sent me some background information so I've also been reviewing that here and there. Best case scenario, I pass, and am placed in a 'pool of qualified candidates' which could be used to staff other positions in my department.

Then on Wednesday I will travel to Victoria to attend a meeting on behalf of my boss, which is on Thursday. I come home Thursday night. So I will be amending my goal to complete the essay by the end of next week. This pushes my schedule back a bit but I'll be bringing my Admin Law text with me so I can at least do some studying on the plane and at night.
