I just began a new contract at work, which means that as of today, also Rare Disease Day, I am officially a Communications professional (coordinator, to be specific)!!!
It took some patience and creativity while my current position and former administrative role overlapped, but it's done. As of next week, I'm writing for real!
Cheers
I just randomly remembered that this past week was the Rare Writer's eleventh birthday!
It's been a pretty great year, despite not writing as much on here. Thanks as always for the supports and readership.
Cheers!
My Father told me recently that a guy he knows says you can only complain about one season. Without any hesitation, I pick Winter, especially after the week of brutal weather we've had!
Starting last Thursday, we got a series of storms, with a record-setting snowfall over the weekend. Plowing still isn't finished! I've been working from home, with team members advising me to stay safely away from downtown Ottawa's slick and covered streets. We've got more snow forecasted for next week, though less than this past weekend.
Regardless, it's starting to seem endless and I'm kind of done with it. Looking forward to warmer weather, better walking conditions, and travels.
Cheers
After a meeting at work this morning, I came to realize I could do a lot better at making small talk.
I can converse with people, answer questions, and be generally talkative, but chit-chat has never been my strong suit. Ask me a bigger topic and I can go on and on, but ask me about the weather or traffic and it's, well, something else entirely.
I just got a contract extension, so I have more opportunity to practice.
Cheers!
