My 5 Year Plan

By Vanessa On May 22, 2013 · 3 Comments

About a month ago Revanche was tweeting about someone who had asked her for career help but didn’t have any plan in place. I jumped in saying that I didn’t think that this was too bad… I mean, lots of people don’t have plans right?

Oh Vanessa, why must you embarrass yourself?

Reflections on Europe and what I’ve learned about myself

By Vanessa On May 20, 2013 · 2 Comments

I’ve been home for about a week now and I’ve been reflecting quite a bit on what I’ve learned and how I’ve changed as a person while in Europe.

First of all, if you’re thinking about traveling and can afford to do so, just do it. I can’t even stress how adamant I am about [...]

Is it 2053? Am I old and retired yet?

By Vanessa On May 16, 2013 · 4 Comments

I cannot wait to be old and retired. There are many reasons for this — including the fact that I’ll get to say whatever the hell I want and no one will care. Example:

2013 Vanessa: Dammit, move your damn cart. Stop staring at the bananas. Just pick up a banana — stop hogging the [...]

Final tally — 91 days in Europe

By Vanessa On May 14, 2013 · 12 Comments

I’m back! Actually, I came back on Sunday and it was great fun — started my birthday at 4am Paris time, was wished a happy birthday by the French border control guy, went back through 6 time zones and finished my birthday by passing out at 10.30pm Montreal time. Total birthday time — 30 hours. [...]

Give up blogging? That’s a crazy idea.

By Vanessa On April 23, 2013 · 9 Comments

Hi!!! *excited wave*

I’m back because apparently I can’t just give up blogging. How crazy. Anyways. Here’s the situation:

a) AdSense has disabled by account because so fool has been going around click-bombing people and Google is all “you can’t prove suspicious activity? Well, guilty until proven innocent!” Google, I can’t even set up an IP-mask, [...]

Tired

By Vanessa On April 4, 2013 · 8 Comments

It’s painfully obvious, at this point, that this blog has been floundering. I’ve been blogging and around the PF community in various aliases for over 4 years now and I am so, so tired.

I’m tired of feeling guilty when my reader has 1000+ unread posts

I’m tired of wading through crappy posts that have [...]

Europe Update: Week 6

By Vanessa On March 23, 2013 · 4 Comments

I feel like I should stop calling these updates “Europe Update”s since they’re pretty much just “Bulgaria Update”s. Yup, still here.

I took an actual weekend this week — two days off of ZERO work, just f-ing around online, talking to people, exploring the city. It was delightful and I think that I will repeat [...]

Silly PF tidbits found around the internet

By Vanessa On March 19, 2013 · 6 Comments

While researching for work (or when I’m reading before my lunch-time nap), I often head into the strangest places — mostly for inspiration. Allow me to share some of the silliest things that I’ve found this week:

[I feel a bit bad for the poor girl in #3 but the articles were just way, WAY [...]
