taratemimaMy career counsellor neglected to tell me my 10am appointment was cancelled because she is staying home with a sick child. I understand the child is sick, but could you call me from home, so I won't schlep my things all the way to Northeastern and miss an MS Office class in the morning?
I have no discernable plan to get jobs. I have a list of companies I would like to work for: AT&T Bell Labs, the Speech and Language Department at BBN, MITRE, Lernout & Hauspie, Haskins Laboratory, SRA, Lyrix (that's in Tewksbury, though), DialogMagic(?), Microsoft's Speech department (will I get penalized if I do not use WinXP??), LingoMotors, MERL, MIT and Harvard. I am sure I can get 5 or 10 more companies like that out of my memory banks. I wonder if there are companies like that in the Chicago/Milwaukee area?
Also, assuming I will not get a job right away in those companies, what full-time job can I get fast? In an environment I like? Using the stuff I've learned from part-time jobs and co-op?
I should have graduated in 2000, but nooooooo, I thought I could live on my own.
