taratemimaDespite a limboish round of errands that took far too long, I am having a good New Years Night.
Now, things that I managed to do this year. I am working on what I want to do this year.
# Got in touch with alumni working in BCBS, Comverse, Genzyme, Simmons College, Scansoft and MIT and figured out what it will take to apply to these companies.
# Paid off and cancelled the Platinum card.
# Paid off the Gold card and on my way to making on-time payments.
# Clarified my plans for graduate school. Now deciding on getting a job in linguistics. Barring that, working on applying to a speech language pathology masters with a clinical/research basis. Have idea about graduate courses to prepare for the degree, so I can also improve my grades and my chances of getting into grad school. May use A+ or ASHA certification to pay my way through a PhD.
# Got Brainbench certification in technical writing, editing, customer service and voice user interface design.
# Designed a simple website and learned style sheets.
# Pulled off a meeting with an online friend and saw the premiere of Serenada Schizophrenia. Managed to get an autograph of Steve Bartek.
# Paid off defaulted student loan.
# Ordered a pair of contact lenses
# Got an OK outline for the first part of the Birch Circle book
# Got my haircut
# Made an OK outline for the Unknown Armies supplement.
# Made different copies of resumes for different job titles.
# Earned my learner's permit for driving.
# Gathered data for an statistics paper on the correlation between minutes per claim and number of errors per day.
# Figured out what to get so I can ride James' bike: a Peugot 18 inch/45 cm tire, a helmet and a lock.
# Come to know Thom somewhat better, though I am not sure how well he knows me.
# Come to realize that Sivan and I think we're supposed to solely support the other. Wonder how much I really need for a happy home.
# Completed character sheets for RPG. Sent mail to person in charge of gaming with my game idea.
# Nailing down times when people are free.
# Made a consultation with American Express to talk about my financial goals. However, she said she couldn't help me with my goals. I may need someone more experienced with establishing a cushion and setting up a living will.
# Completed list of issues communicated by e-mail and verbal and a report about my accuracy for my technical writing portfolio.
# Wrapped up "Concerta for the Lost and Found" and the Clowns de la Mort series.
# Wrote outline for book proposal
# Saw Old Harvard Yard, The Dorothy Quincy Homestead, and the Isabella Gardner Museum.
# Got interviews at Netspoke, Children's Hospital, Mathworks, Comet Systems, John Hancock, Navimedix, Cymfony, Coldwell Banker, H5 Technologies, Turbine Games, Boston Phoenix, Getronics, LoveAccess, Scansoft, Eliza, and Boston Financial Data Services.
# Requested permission to apply for a tech support position within the company, despite being afraid I would be criticized or fired.
# Completed list of problems I encountered, ideas I applied, and resolutions of the problems due to my efforts.
# Wrote introduction for Codex Morgana/Birch Circle book
# Started a 401(K)
# Got my own room at the Buttery
# Started a filing system for papers that might be useful.
# Discussed my worries and attention problems at work despite my fears.
# Got my impacted wisdom teeth extracted.
# Got a prescription for Adderall and seem to be doing well.
# Looked up courses that fit into my grad school plans and may make me look good.
# Made list of people to put on the Magid Tarot.
# Completed two abstracts to send to Cambridge Abstracts (with an apology)
# Got praise for my online cheat sheet.
# Suggested changes in Front End manual and help files. Some of them were not necessary, while others were.
# Started researching outcomes of letters sent by Progressive Secretary, and got praise for my timeliness and brevity.
# Wrote 4 short stories and 2 essays.
# Straightened out my rooms by putting extra clothing, books and files into storage boxes and books and music on shelves.
# Finished online classes for A+ certification
