  • saw backstage at the radio city music hall, took a picture of the john lennon painting that is the cover for the imagine movie and soundtrack…
  • walked through central park, saw some incredible street performers…
  • took a cab ride. scariest thing ever…

Another option might be to see about a line of credit from your bank. I have one from PC financial and the interest rate is far better than anything the CC offers.

I have a number of friends that went through culinary school and all of them have had some great jobs and some pretty cool adventures. I was often rather jealous of their travels while I tried to climb the ladder from cubicle to corner office.

One worked for many of the high-end CP resorts and is now a sommelier at a very fancy pants west coast resto. Another worked right across North America and is now a wine importer here in Toronto (he spends his summers in Burgundy. Tough life). And a third has travelled the world with Hyatt – he’s currently working in Bangkok.

On the other hand I’m a pretty good cook and I’ve considered going to culinary school if not for the horrible working conditions. Working as a cook moving up to being a chef you’re looking at ten hour days ending at 2am six days a week and working as fast as you possibly can all day.

First, lineups are so insane, I had to leave, as I had more things to do at home, then the web did not help at all (really? pages with information from 2007 is not helpful!) and then the phones went down for most of the afternoon. After waiting on hold for half an hour, and finally finding who I had to talk to, I call, and that person isn’t there, but leaves another contact, and after twenty minutes, I determine that the entire department seems to be out. And you can’t leave voicemails!

It really does. I had forgotten, what with my being a working stiff for a while, but since I’ve been back, I’m remembering the idiocy. And today? Was just the last freaking straw. I’m so very, very angry.

One time last year, there was a giant storm, and I thought my afternoon class might be cancelled. Since I didn’t want to trek down there to find that out, I checked the website. Nothing about school closing, except for a notice about night school classes being cancelled due to a 6pm shut down. So, I call the support line, and wait on hold, again, forever, and listen to lots of info about the 6pm shutdown, and other useless stuff. Finally, I talk to someone, and she says that school is closed from noon, and that I should have checked the website. When I told her I did, she said it was there. Then, I swore. When I thought I had hung up, but apparently not. Classy.

My father keeps saying I should just demand things, because I am the customer. You can tell it has been ages since he was in school. Just because we pay them, doesn’t mean we get any kind of say in things. I’m reaching for the gin now…

Thanks for the advice – it’s in a field that I have absolutely zero experiece and zero background in. In fact I had to interview with the prof to get accepted into the course.

Maybe I’ll just ask for all examples in class to be applied to hockey analogies.

I think hockey analogies are always the way to go. At least people would be interested in what you have to say, rather than a regurgitation of what the professor said with different words and adding a question at the end.

I have to say, expect complete and totally stupidity on the part of many of your fellow students. Oh sure, some will be delightful, but others will make you wonder how in the hell they were ever admitted. (no offense to the younger students here, as I know you all fall in the awesome category)

It’s an urban planning course. First half of the semester is theory and in the back half we have to go out into a community in Toronto and actually work with the locals.

In the past they’ve done green roofs, educational partnerships etc. I think we’re doing lack of primary health care in south Riverdale/Regent Park. The final is a presentation/recommendations to all the government agencies involved.

I guess it depends on the course. Upper level courses or courses that require more than a passing knowledge are usually not full of fail.

I’m a mature student who can’t stand the whiny kids who don’t understand how to cite their work.

I like the so-called “older” students, and some of the 50+ crowd are great people. But it’s the ones that are so eager and ambitious, yet they’re taking an introductory course to magazine writing. And yet, they give tips to us. Go figure.

by bkblades on Jan 7, 2009 4:43 PM EST up reply actions  

I can understand the getting good grades for nothing because in the end, most jobs people get have nothing to do with their eventual career. example: my sister was a French and education major in college, worked as a high school teach a few years, and now works at an insurance company. It’s partially why I’m getting average marks, since I know what I’m doing will likely have no bearing on my job future so long as I have the degree itself (as my brothers used to say, “D for Diploma!”) I see it as “why work yourself stupid for something that won’t matter?”

not really, I don’t think. As long as you have learned to teach yourself, which is likely if you’ve been in post secondary for an extended time. Most people who end up in dead end jobs, or hate their job, it’s because they don’t have initiative or are unable/unwilling to teach themselves things as they go. Or so it seems in my limited experience.

by Karina on Jan 7, 2009 4:51 PM EST up reply actions  

I'm all about the fail today

I meant, getting good grades for not actually having to do any work. Like trying to get the prof to give out marks for little in class things that we can do in groups and have that be the bulk of their mark instead of the midterm, paper and final it says on the syllabus.

I know what we go to school for doesn’t really mean anything, but I hate it when someone wants an A for knowing what formula to use for a math problem (not actually using it, but just knowing which one they should use) when I’m actually getting an A for being able to solve the problem (That is a true story from last semester)

One time I dropped a class I didn’t need, and called the aid office so they can adjust my money in proportion to my credit hours. I did it once before and I came out even. In fact, the uni ended up refunding me like 70 bucks. So I do it again and they insist I owed them 700 bucks. I was like NO I DON’T!

To be fair, it was kind of harsh when they didn’t get AO despite being the worse team that year.. If I remember correctly.. M-A Fleury was a bit of a let down.

Crosby is a pretty good consolation prize.
Not to mention Malkin, MAF, Staal, etc etc

yes...

Malkin was the consolation prize. MAF was a year before.

but

having AO would mean they solved the “winger for Sidney” problem……

Question – do people really think that if Gretzky hadn’t had Kurry, he wouldn’t have done as well? It’s like they think that Crosby needs a winger to do better… which really shows that he is NOT the next Gretzky.

Gretzky

Will never be followed up. A once in a century tallent in a era that every team had a 50 goal scorer pretty much.

so true

which is why I wish they’d give up on Sid.
Just… he’s not head and shoulders above every other NHLer, the way Gretzky was. Heck, he’s not even the best player on his own team lately.

Please, market someone else.

Once Tavares is in Fishstick land (blech realism) they NHL will be hyping him and Sid will be last weeks news

I hope not

Tavares looks awesome, but I’d rather watch AO.
Datsyuk (did I spell that right?) needs some marketing.

There are just a lot of players out there who I think should be used to bring the NHL into more people’s homes, players who are capable of bringing fans out of their seats with enormous plays, who just aren’t being exposed enough.

yeah, but thats what should be done. Not what will be done.
They want a well groomed Aw Shucks Canadian kid that can spout off a gatorade commercial in perfect english.
Better cash flow, better for the fringe markets and more comforting to potential fans that might be scared of by crazy furry russians with no teeth

haha

one thing that strikes me about Dats whenever I see him in casual clothes is that we were still in the Cold War, he’d be up on a poster as the typical Evil Russian that we’re supposed to hate so much.

Oh well. I hate Bettman.

Did you hear that Fasel has declared that if NHLers don’t participate in the Olympics after 2010, European players won’t be allowed to participate in any more World Cups, thereby ending the World Cup tourney?

by Karina on Jan 7, 2009 7:11 PM EST up reply actions  

Professionals not playing in the Olympics makes perfect sense (Since is for amateurs and all)
No euros in the world cup? What kind of back ass wards logic is that?

Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option

by JaredFromLondon on Jan 7, 2009 7:15 PM EST up reply actions  

it means

there could be no world cup.

It’s Fasel striking back.

And honestly, if they have professional soccer players in the summer olympics, it makes perfect sense to have professional hockey players in the winter olympics.
Besides, if NHL players don’t participate, that doesn’t mean there will be no professionals. I’m sure KHL players would still go.

by Karina on Jan 7, 2009 7:16 PM EST up reply actions  

well yeah, it should go either way, if you allow any in, you allow em all in. For every sport
I dont think the Olympics should have proffessionals in them personally

yeah, 3 #1 picks and Staal (i forget when he was drafted)
I really wouldnt care if they acted like they earned it

Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option

by JaredFromLondon on Jan 7, 2009 6:54 PM EST up reply actions  

I think

Staal was around #4…

by Karina on Jan 7, 2009 6:55 PM EST up reply actions  

I just wonder how differently things might have panned out if AO had been taken by the pens.. Not that he would have made them contenders, but perhaps the talent that they did draft later might have ended up being spread around the league a little more..

by LeafFanInVan on Jan 7, 2009 6:54 PM EST up reply actions  

malkin ins awesome...

but holy crap..ao and sid…that just wouldn’t be fair…
