Finally, it looks like the heat wave that's smothered Toronto for the past two weeks is going to break. As I was sitting here in the library, I heard a low rumble that piqued my interest enough to look up to the ceiling's tinted windows, and praise be, there was water cascading down them. For about half an hour thereafter there was steady thunder

It still has not even come close to breaking here yet.. there was a small rainstorm before the morning, but it didn't do anything except raise the humidity.. ugh..

I hope things get cooler soon

*chuckles* What about the blessed winds that blow in from Lake Ontario where you live? Don't they help to alleviate the heat by your workplace? Or are they actually not blowing now?

Comment one: Jobs and school don't mix. At least at the post-secondary level, school alone is about three handfuls.

Comment two: Volunteer work is a lot easier to get than paid work, and will give you experience. A trained monkey can use Word; you won't have problems. You may not have a cert for it, but if you spent a summer doing volunteer work that involved typing up memos/newsletters/whatever, you can put "familiar with Word/Office" on your resume with a job reference to back it up.

Or, you can play "collect the certs", and take the eight-week courses in this or that software package that give you the piece of paper. Ideally, you'd do both, but either would do (and work experience also generates references).
