Co-Working With Your Co-Workers

Katy — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 09:03:54 +0000

I’m sure most of us have a job where we have to collaborate with colleagues everyday. I’m sure we’ve all had bad days and get irritated when they are constantly asking from things from you, while you are already juggling a ton of other tasks and vice versa. I’m sure we’ve all had that feeling [...]

Miss Grubby

Katy — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 05:27:42 +0000

The bad thing about working in the video game industry is that it makes me lazy and inconsistent— in terms of looks and fashion. When you go out, you should always look your best because you never know who you’re going to meet, but at my workplace, where networking does happens, I don’t do always [...]

10 Things I Like About My Job

Katy — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:57:05 +0000

AIR CONDITIONING (what a perfect time to publish this entry). At least this should make the bosses happy that I’d rather work longer than leave this building and go melt away with the rest of Vancouver in this unbearable heat. Whether or not you were born here, you’re a true Vancouverite if you bitch about [...]

*Missed Out?

But anyway, the whole point of this entry: I was reading a discussion about students not being able to find jobs after graduation and although it makes me sad that I missed out on some of the little things, my company did do two rounds of layoffs when this recession started and I'm thankful that I'm still here. I AM lucky to have a fun, secure and good-paying job in my field that I love (that also has benefits like a TANNING BED) so I have to admit that everyone else's problems makes me feel better about myself. Hyuk hyuk hyuk (that's my new laugh).

And to all the graduates who can't find a job right now: DON'T FEEL HOPELESS! Just suck it up for now and you'll probably find an awesome job later on. :)

The good thing is that if anything were to happen in the future I do have a plan: I'm going to go back to school!

So someone at work had to remind me of the horrible truth that we had no long weekends until March… and then my employer decides to issue a leap day holiday for us this year so we have a long weekend on 02/29. :cheer: I love it. Other work updates, we are moving up to [...]

*Communist Showdown at EA

Katy — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 06:33:47 +0000

Kim Jong Il paid a visit to EA today...

...and he had had a show-off with Fidel Castro.

But Castro ran off and Kim Jong Il was held hostage.

High on Inspiration

Katy — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 08:35:58 +0000

Today at work we had a 2-hour presentation and demo by the wonderfully talented and inspiring concept artist, Andrew Jones. He talked about his life, how he became an artist, what he did, his inspiration, his philosophy and it was super interesting and awe-inspiring with a hint of humor. Then he showed us his demos [...]

Football? What?

Katy — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 22:59:26 +0000

Ah the unthinkable has arrived. This Sunday I will be sitting down with the boyfriend to watch some football since I’m going to be jumping on the Madden wagon next round. I totally can’t wait for him to lecture me on football and how the hell it works. Totally dreading it (because I don’t wanna [...]
