Went to Accenture’s infosession last night; it was a very valuable experience. Learned a lot about what’s expected of you as an analyst and also got to re-connect with business students/alumni that I hadn’t seen in over 2 years. The application deadline is Oct 6th so I better start the process. Unfortunately, the deadline coincides [...]

I got into the Leaders of Tomorrow program! Yippee! I can’t wait! I better prioritize my time real well, because now I have 3 days of school, 3 days of work, LOT stuff, potential CIPS networking events, and potential MISA involvement. Poor Kurt. We’ll only ever see each other enough to kiss each other good [...]

If that’s what you’ve been wondering, then you’ve probably noticed that you can’t go to this blog unless you type http://www.sfu.ca/~kclement/blog. Reason–I’ve transferred my blog back to my original web host and so www.karenclement.ca will be wonky until things settle down in oh…48-72 hours from now. Thanks for your patience.

I’ve got this infosession on Accenture next Monday and have been doing my part to research the company and other alternatives. But I can’t find anything on their Canadian counterparts! Grrr. Deloitte has a technology consulting arm, but it seems small in comparison. I have heard that Crystal Decisions also does consulting and systems analysis. [...]

Spoke to my old boss and coworkers at Don’s Photo today. It was nice to catch up with each of them. It’s too bad that Josue works in the afternoon, because it would’ve been nice to talk to him, too. If you DP guys are reading this, post a comment and say hi. Would love [...]

Guess who we ran into this weekend? It was Friday night and after a long stressful day at work, Kurt and I went downtown to eat at Hon’s (on Robson). Something cheap, due to the extravagance of Kurt’s celebratory dinner on Thursday, at Paros. Anyhow, we were walking towards Hon’s and people watching, when I [...]

As of Monday morning, Kurt will be doing his CA articling with his new firm, Nemeth Thody Anderson! Congratulations, honey! If you would like to send any congrats his way, he has a blog, and is hoping for some nice people to comment on. You could also call us, if long distance is not a [...]

I was on the bus along Canada Way this morning, when out of nowhere this scent from my childhood wafted in through the windows. I can’t even identify the smell. Could’ve been a freshly paved side street. Could’ve been someone’s (bad?) cooking experiment. Could’ve been a cross between Orange Tang (what other Tang is there?) [...]

“Arrrrrrgh!” That pretty much sums it up. My Monday-night cold had progressed to flu-like levels. Tuesday night was feverish; on Wednesday, I was so cold that I left work early and continued my shivering at home under my winter duvet. Thursday was temperature indifferent, but that’s when the sniffling really started. I went through 3 [...]
