32 and a half

That is how many more work days I have left in my 9 month contract - but I'm not really counting.

The end is in sight with my current position and though I would be the first to admit that it is not the right fit for me and it has been a rather challenging 6 months so far, I do know that I have learned plenty. All the better to take to my next "gig" - whatever that may be (I am hoping that with hands placed in front of me, in the shape of a bowl, "direction" will promptly be poured into them).

Here is some of what I have learned:

Commuting bites.
Skytrain travel smells.
Finding a new "business outfit" five days a week is hard.
Hand sanitizer is my best friend.
An effective and smart HR team is crucial and very beneficial.
People surprise me on a daily basis.
I am not 27 anymore.
Coffee after 12 noon makes me wiggy.
In-Design rules.
Databases are evil.
Gastown has great restuarants and stores.
Sephora is the best way to spend lunch when you take it.
Creativity and design are an essential part of my future career direction

ahh...not bad for the "contract girl"
