Casecamp Vancouver

On Tuesday, Jordan convinced me to go to my first “Casecamp“. There were about 4 presentations 15 min. each with questions afterwards. Most of the technical mumbo jumbo went right over my head, but there were a few moments when I was like “cool!”. And after spending the last few months running with Jord, and listening to him babble on about SEO, RSS, CSS, and whatever else he talks about, I had a more firm understanding of what they were talking about than if I would have went to something like this in January. Jordan also just had me build a website for a client of his (a very simple one), and I created my own blog (this one!) recently, so a lot of this information is starting to sink in. Below is a picture of myself, Jordan and Joy Boyson, the great gal who put together the whole Casecamp Vancouver 2 event.

You never know, you might catch me at more of these events in the future!

Something to Celebrate!

I wasn’t going to mention anything about my job search until, of course, the search was over. (I didn’t want to jinx it!) Now at last, I can stop searching! I’m ecstatic! I don’t have to sit in front of the computer all day, looking at every on-line job site known to man, nervous as hell, biting off all my fingernails, and praying for a phone call, or even a SIGN that I might be even close!

I am so unbelievably happy to report that I was offered a job today as a Marketing Assistant. The position is exactly what I was looking for. It’s for a small company on the border of Vancouver & Burnaby, and I will be reporting to a Marketing Manager. It’s a small marketing team, but I will get the chance to do a little of everything and finally gain some experience!

I don’t start until April 16th, but Yay! I have a job! I’m no longer unemployed!

Marathon, here I come!

Well, from the title of the post, you might have guessed it. I am training, with my brother Jordan, to run the Vancouver Marathon. Check out our marathon blog, too, while you’re at it! We have been training since January 2nd, on a very strict schedule. That first day of running was one to remember! We’re over half way through our training now, and today we ran 13 miles, the equivalent of a half marathon! And we did it in the pouring down rain. You gotta love Vancouver.

I can tell you now, my feet, knees and back are hurting like crazy. All I want to do is soak in a hot tub for an hour, take 2 advil, and go to sleep. :) Of course, we’re back at it on Tuesday to run a shorter, 4 mile run. Then Wednesday is 9 miles, and Thursday is 5. It’s these annoying short- to mid-length runs during the week that have gotten us into shape from the beginning.

Anyway, enough about that. Right now, I’m starting a new blog! I figured it was about time. I’m savvy enough now, to figure out how to put things together on a page and make it work, so why not? This is the first post of many, so stay tuned!
