First Day
*whump*
I have...
- an access pass
- an email (not for public distribution)
- a phone # (not to be constantly used)
- a headset for answering calls with (it is blue and metallic and truly awesome)
- a computer (not for hacking, I promised)
- a user account
The job... is... awesome.
Let me update for you...
- 7.5 hours per week (one day) taken at a time that is convienent for me. Extra time is possible if needed and I want it. Flexible enough to fit into my school hours next semester.
- $12.47 per hour which tallies to just under $100/day.
- Awesome people and environment - plenty of fun-loving, joke telling people. Truly awesome people, I love them already.
- Facilities: weight room, exercise room, quiet room (for meditating!), two cafeterias, a tiny depanneur (thats convienence store for the non-french speakers). Plus a variety of restaurents nearby.
- all for me helping people out on testing, answering tech support calls (in english/french) and answering tech support emails. Between noon and 5, they had about 10 callers - 8 english and two french. And my boss speaks French at about the same degree I do, so it should all be good.
For all my anxiety over it, this isn't so bad - it's going to be really good. It's an incredibly relaxed and stress-free environment. I have to go in again tomorrow for 9-5 and then I'm buying my bus tickets to Sudbury!!! yay!
Yes, Freya - the plans are on as informed. I may even be able to stay an extra day and leave Tuesday morning (as I only need 7.5 hours every 7 day pay period which is a Thursday-Wednesday (inclusive) period).
Other good news... more exam marks!!!
And I apologize to people, I am really hyper, nothing bad happened today - even the PTY party went well (when we were sure it wasn't going to). Just a massive release of tension.
But yes, lets take a look at the finals
French: who knows.
Knowledge: not out yet
Operating Systems: 87% (I choked, alright? It's still a great mark, especially considering the average of 75%)
Web Programming I: 99%
Programming I: 98%
Which gives the final marks of...
French: who knows.
Knowledge: 90% + the exam
OS: 92%
Web: 95%
Prog: a whopping 100%
:)

In other news...
there is no other news. the news is good. PTY is done for a week, but we'll be back in two weeks.
blah, I have no clue what to write about. I'm off to bed, the better to wake up for work tomorrow (I was so out of it until about 11AM)
*hugs to all*
