Colour me employed
I am now part of the working world, the rat race, the melting pot, whatever you want to call it. I also have this big stupid grin on my face because I have a job. Huzzah!
I didn’t really expect it to happen this fast, but hey, I’m not complaining. Pending paperwork and all that fun bureaucratic goodness, I’ll be an employee at Mediatech Internet Inc. They’re fairly big in terms of the business they do, but the number of employees is around 15. Efficiency is the name of the game. I’ll be doing web development. I suppose not having to go through so many levels of hierarchy let them make decisions faster in terms of the hiring process. I was expecting one to two weeks between application and call for interview if needed.
The other piece of good news: the Senate officially approved my degree, so I’m officially graduated from SFU. Now it’s just waiting to walk across the stage and get that piece of paper in the fancy folder.
In the typing of this post, I realized something: back when I was helping out with FroshWeek, Greg asked what the hell I was doing back on campus as a friendly jab. I suppose it was a way to help “let go” or whatever, given how much time I’ve spent with the CSSS. The ironic part? My job, although not affiliated with SFU, is located in the Harbour Centre tower, directly adjacent to the downtown SFU campus. Tadashi was right…I may never escape.

Congratulations, Eugene! Also, and I mean this completely sincerely, enjoy the commute.
Holy fuck, Steamworks is right across the road, you lucky bastard. I had to walk like 5 blocks to get there…

But have a good one! (ie. don’t fall into the pond during the procession!)
Also, you bad, bad man. My last name is no appendage! –>

Bishnu:
Meh, when I move out the commute should be less terrible. It’s not too bad right now, what with the 160 and all. Skytrain trip isn’t too bad either. Nothing like my horrific 90 minute each way commute to Delta for my first co-op.
Angelica:
This job I applied on a posting off monster.ca.
There should be plenty of pictures and such. At least you won’t have to sit through Michael Stevenson’s speech that hasn’t changed in the last three years.
And there’s nothing wrong with your name. You’re seeing things.

Yeah, I’m psyched for this grad ceremony… scream really loud and all that when you cross the stage… don’t fall in the AQ pond when you cross the bridge.
