Well my last day of work was yesterday. It was the first job I ever actually quit, and had to give notice. I was actually starting to enjoy the job and felt like I was finally comfortable with everything there. I'm glad to be leaving don't get me wrong, but I was finally feeling like part of the team there.
It's interesting how quickly you can become a part of an organization's culture and team. One of the things I learned a lot about during my involvement in WUSC (World University Service Canada) an organization I was involved with for much of my time in university, was that organizational behaviour and effectiveness matters. Unfortunately this was mostly because we couldn't seem to get anything done, and I was always trying to figure out why.
A lot of what my dad was doing in the last few years was workshops designed to increase the effectiveness of organizations. I wish I had access to some of those resources. He was really good at what he did and was really good at his presentations and getting results of out those meetings.
I am glad to be leaving the hotel where I was working and starting my new job. I have a few days off before then so i'm going to try and see some people i've been meaning to see lately.

we still don't know what this mystery job is ...
I'm not sure I want to say what the mystery job is. Apparently employers search blogs for comments etc and i just don't think I want to risk that.
Not that i'm seriously paranoid, but I do think it prudent.
I'll email you and tell you all about it....
Sounds good .... I will be eagerly checking my inbox ...
