So turns out the yes my ‘boss’ is rather ridicolous and there has been no other mention of my supposed ‘firing’ since my last post. The meeting which I had with my real boss was more of a discussion on how things have been going thus far and what types of concerns / complaints I may want to voice about the whole situation. I believe I made my points clear although I would have been able to mention a couple of other things if I would have realized the nature of the conversation that I would have been having. It is now in the past and I only have three more shifts left at the park so it will simply be a little spec in the past in a couple of weeks.

I have officially made the decision (and sent the e-mail) to inform UOIT that I will not be returning for the 2008-2009 school year but instead am taking a year off and will be returning the following year. I have not yet received an e-mail back from them so if anyone from UOIT is reading this please let me know the procedure to do so (I e-mailed the registrar’s office).

Instead of returning back to university this coming September I have decided to take a year off and take a stab at seeing a little more of this world. I have travelled in the past but have not called any other place home aside from Ontario. The west seems to be calling a lot of people’s name lately and with all the opportunity out there I may also find myself following that calling. There is nothing set in stone just yet but hopefully the rest of 2008 and 2009 will give me the opportunity to travel, see and experience the world, meet new people and help in giving me a better definition in what our role is in the whole scheme of things.

Here is a video entitled “Who Am I?” featuring the voice of the great philosopher Alan Watts.

    Hey man. I totally know where you coming from. Try posting your résumé on the SF Bay Area craigslist. There are tons of opportunities out there. I posted mine and I had tons of people giving me offers (I had an offer for making a $75k salary). If your travels bring you to San Francisco, you should definitely give me a heads up. It’s an awesome city.

    You’ll need to print and fill out this form: http://www.uoit.ca/assets/Section~specific/Current~students/Registrars~office/Record_Registration~Change~forms/PDF/Program_Withdrawal_Form_Sept_2007.pdf

    You’ll also need to go to IT and get them to fill out one of their forms confirming you’ve returned your laptop. (Schedule ‘B’ form)

    Once you’ve got both of these, go to the registrar’s office and that’s pretty much it. I did the same two days ago.

    Aaron’s advice of looking elsewhere for work is sound, especially with the idea of moving about; people tend to limit themselves to local business - there are far more options available south of the border. Go for it.
