I don't get it!!!

How can a company measure the English language fluency based on the years of experience.. like if it was more than 5 years experience then there's no need for an english test before hiring, but if it was less then the english test is a must.

How can the practical experience be a measure of language fluency.. logically speaking!

How can it be based on this lame reasoning, rather than looking for qualifications, certifications, speaking skills, education, or any International English Language tests which were previously done!

I really don't get it!

Sad Goodbyes

Today was my last day at work as a casual for the USYD Veterinary Financial Department. I didn't have a good sleep last night.. last days always make me sad!

As soon as I got to the office I found this huge bouquet of pink flowers on my desk.

I was so shocked and impressed that I did not pay attention to the card next to it.. so I was thanking the three people working with me in the same office, and kept saying how great the flowers are, and how nice of them, and how the tea party they were having for me was more than enough, and that they shouldn't have brought them .. how I wish I had my camera with me... wow, yay, all those kind of things

till all of a sudden one of them was like, we are so happy that you liked them.. sorry but those flowers are not from us!!! We were waiting for you to come, read the card and tell us who sent those beautiful pink flowers!

It was so damn funny.

It turned out the flowers and the pink glittery card were from the financial manager who had to spend the day in another city but wanted to make sure that I get them in my last day..

Super sweet! I would definitely remember the pink flowers instead of the sad goodbyes.

Slash people.. who are they!!! Is it the new trend or the way to describe future careers!?

Actually I don't mind the idea, who knows maybe I will be one of them.. since multi tasking is something I cant function without!

"One Person Multiple Careers"

how would it feel.. ?!

It is when I realize that I am spending all my time on research and studying, I look out of the window.. and wonder how would it feel to have all the time in the world again, how would it feel to relax, how would it feel just to enjoy.. Am I missing out on all what can be fun!!?

At times like this, when I desperately need a break, when I need to go back and taste the sweetness of not worrying about time, not worrying about deadlines, group meetings, finals.. the answer would be simple and clear.. YES, I AM!

Leaving

This is the first time when I feel sad because my boss is leaving. The news was extremely shocking and unexpected! She was not only the one who interviewed and employed me .. but she was someone who made me believe that working here is fun even when it is about reconciliations and even when it's about dealing with scary, too complicated, humongous amount of data.

So she was not only the financial manager, but someone who's fun- and usually you don't get to see both in one person.

I have never imagined being this sad when a manager leaves. But I am! It's like a solid base is no longer there.. and I don't like all the new things that will be planned for the coming months accordingly, precisely after her departure.

yeah.. it is scary! the more I think about it.. the worse I feel. Why does it always have to be like this, great professionals are the ones who normally leave when everyone around is laid back .. not the other way around!

my morning delight

... It is the feeling of cool wet grass while walking to work every morning. It is a truly refreshing thing and the best feeling in the world.. and this is a confession made by a non-morning person!

Which also reminds me of the -not so cute- anti-thong (flip flop) sign that was hanging on the door the other day.. it was a real nightmare! How can they have it when no one wears anything else.. It's crazy! i thought it was some kind of silly joke or something.. but it turned out that they're banned ONLY in laboratories.. It made more sense since no one would really give it any importance otherwise!!

Marketing and/or HR

Ever since I started my first semester and I was facing this real dilemma. Im still not sure about what should I go for! Im doing my Masters of Business but I haven't still made up my mind whether I should go for a single (Marketing or HR) major, or have a combination of both but ending up with no major.

I have taken a course in Marketing, and not only completed it with a distinction but I really enjoyed it too! The only thing that scares me with the single major kinda thing is that I don't want to be stuck and have to work in one field. I keep getting those 'what if' scenarios that drive me crazy and add to my confusion! What if i don't like working in Marketing.. or what if I find HR boring!!

so can anyone especially those who -WORK (and not study, cause there's a huge difference between the two) in Marketing or HR-, HELP, please!!
