Go to UBC and pick up transcript.
Complete application forms and email to Shelley.
Figure out what to do about my flights (or lack thereof)Do laundry, pack a suitcase
-Go to be early for once, so I don’t miss my flight tomorrow!

I guess that’s as good a reason as any to get off the computer and go to the library.

which was SO MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE than just sending an application.

She said they don’t usually hire people unless they are already living there. (Which means they would have completely ignored my application unless I called to explain how awesome I am, and how easily I would settle in and be ready to work.)

I replied, well I was thinking of flying up there for a visit next week anyway, if you have some time I’d love to drop by your office. My family lives there still, I’ll have a free place to stay in a central area and can easily commute to any of the 4 towns. My boyfriend’s company keeps an empty apartment in the most remote town, so I could sleep there when necessary…

We chatted for a while, I dropped a few names of local people ;-) She said, “Well, unless there’s something really odd with your references, I can’t see why we wouldn’t hire you…” And we arranged an interview for this Monday, even though I haven’t actually sent in my application yet. She said I can just bring everything with me on Monday.

Next problem… I need a plane ticket! (Gotta love frequent flyer points :-D)
