Last Day in the Boardroom :(

Wow, I cannot believe that 10 weeks is gone. Well, really for me it's been 10 weeks plus 2 days. I took 2 days off during my time here and agreed to work 2 extra days at the end so it has been me in here with no Robyn and no Kasia for 2 days this week. I miss them...Anyway, things are going pretty good despite not having them, and Anne's daughter has started working here a bit this week so I haven't been totally lonely. And of course Anne and the rest of the HDC gang are always kicking around here somewhere. I can honestly say that although I am looking forward to having 2 weeks off before school starts up, I will miss everyone I have had the opportunity to meet and work with here, they are a great bunch of people. So great that I may just have to return to work here next summer! If they want me back...haha what am I saying of course they do eh Robyn? She is also thinking of making a return to the boardroom next summer. Although I'll be off, these next 2 weeks will probably be pretty crazy. I'm getting ready to go away to school for the first time. I did 2 years at UNBSJ but now I'm headed off to Mount St Vincent in Halifax! I'm very excited but maybe slightly nervous as well...Anyway, I guess I should head off and do a little more work and not be a compete slacker on my last day; and you never know you may hear from us again next summer!

Last day for me at the HDC :(

Hey everyone,

Well the summer has come and gone...and so has my time at the Human Development Council. :( I'm honestly a little upset about this because I have met such great people here in the office. Even though we joked about the "boardroom" alot it really was a great place to work. I was just handed a really cute card from Anne......so sad. Anyways.. I'm sure I will find things to fill up the rest of my summer and I will enjoy my time off before heading back to Fredericton for school. The HDC was a great summer job especially for me with an interest in psychology. As I had mentioned before I plan on working with youth and addiction later on and this job helped me understand the places around our city that offer addiction services and other services related to addiction. I really hope to be back here next summer as long as they still want me back!! I also have lots of information from different organizations throughout the city which I can take home with me to further educate myself about what this city has to offer. Hopefully you have enjoyed reading our blog entries as this will be my last one. Thanks for reading and thanks to everyone at HDC!! It's been great!

Ciao

Hey Everybody!
I'm just taking a few minutes out of my day here to give you all an update of what we've been up to these past few weeks here at the HDC. Sadly, Kasia's time here in our little boardroom is done :(
She started a few weeks ahead of Robyn and I, so lucky her got the whole month of August off! I can't really complain though because yesterday most of the staff went sailing for the afternoon on Robyn's boat (and still got payed hahaha...) We had an awesome time and stuffed our faces with food and drinks. Even Kasia returned for that one. As for work, today and next week, along with the database, Robyn and I will be making a list of places around the area that could benefit from receiving information and posters about our services. We'll be sending them to shelters, food banks, family resource centres etc. in hopes that our information will reach anyone who may be in need of various services. Well that's about it for now it's almost go time and its a Friday! :)
Bye for now!
