that's gonna bruise

I'm writing this one a lot earlier than normal because I need to go to bed to get up early and head over to the Bredin Institute. Tomorrow is the Job Search workshop. " Learn how to carry out your job search productively by applying other methods of job search other than using the newspaper or internet. Gain knowledge about how to access the "hidden job market," effectively use your network, cold calling, information interviewing and other networking techniques to find and secure the job of your dreams. " That's from their site. Unfortunately I didn't find out till after it was over that today was the Workplace Health and Safety workshop. That's the one I really need. Employers like seeing that certification. I have to wait till next week to get it now. This place also has printers and fax machines and other stuff. And the best part is that it's all free. It's perfect cause I need to fax some resumés out and they'll let me do it at no charge, and while I'm there they'll help me get a job. Hopefully. That reminds me I need to make some cover letters. I'll do that once I'm done here. Mitch asked me today if I wanted to come skateboarding with him and Ryan. I don't have a board and so he asked if I wanted to go get one. Before I came out here I had planned on getting one. So I did! After I got it we went to the one skate park and within the first minute of me being on the board I wiped out. I rode it fine from the car across the parking lot. But when I tried to enter it I didn't lean forward enough and fell back. I rock! I got up, went and retrieved my board and kept going. My knee felt funny and almost felt wet. I rolled up my pant leg and discovered my first injury. Knee Picture After a bit I noticed my right hand hurt. I may have bruised a bone or two at the base of my palm near my thumb when I landed. It was still fun none the less. And a good work out too. So there Jenn I'm doing cardio. ish. I need to go clean my wounds.

The Dad in me says:
Perhaps you should invest in some protective gear. You might not impress an employer if you show up for the interview limping and bloody.

Please take care of your hands (of course the rest of you too). They come in handy when trying to do electrial work. A nice wrist brace would be nice, and a helmet, and ...... and ...... etc etc
Love :)
