Hi everyone:
Apparently some people were having some problems sending messages to
this list, so I'm seeing if its going to work, and also wondering how
everyone is doing. Hopefully I'll see most of you at grad next week.
I'm still looking for work, and applying to as many jobs as possible.
To that end, does anyone know someone who works at the Royal Canadian
Mint? I saw a job that I'm interested in applying to there.
Other than that, there's no news to report. Sorry I missed drinks a
few weeks ago, but I think we should schedule them again. I'll suggest
this Friday as a start date, and see how that goes. Let me know if you
can make it. I'll say 7 PM, and someone else can suggest a location.
Send this list an update on where you are. We all want to know
(well, at least I do).

Hi everybody,
Good to have news about some of you. I have just come back to Canada after a month of holidays in France. It was great. I have just started to look for a job, so if you hear something in marketing or sales, let me know ;)
I would be very pleased to meet on Friday evening for a drink. Which place should we choose?

Hi all,
It's really nice to hear from some of you :) I have not been having vacation or working, just busy with family matters. But I am having a good time though. I have not started looking for a job yet, just starting to update my resume.
Some of you know I used to work for Lancome, they are on gift with purchase promotion now. I've agreed to help out at the counter for a few hours during gift because they just lost 2 of the staff. So I am working until 7:30pm this Friday. I'd love to come out and see all of you though. Let me know where the fun will be, I will join you after work.
Take care and have fun! :) See you all at grad
