Well look who decided to show up...(again)

Surprise surprise.

It's me. Looks like a lot of new faces and alot of new members since I last posted, which was Dec. 24th, 2005. School has been piling up and my dang firewalled internet here has been tough to access PR.com without it lagging horribly. However, I seem to have found a cure and it runs better now.

Hopefully I'll be posting regularly again, though I can't make any promises. I have a crazy next few months planned including a field placement in Calgary, Alberta (who are also hiring supposedly "30" people, so I have a phone interview tomorrow), a trip to Vancouver for some hockey games, and convocation coming up in May.

I can't post as often as I'd like...however, my posts/day is still above 5! I wish I had that type of time back again, I miss PR.

Well, I'll see how much I can post tonight and hopefully be back on here regularly.

Nice to be back guys,

Jared

Hi Jared,

Good to see you back. You are busy with school, right? What are you studying?

Anyway, school work is a good type of busy. You may feel left out because you do not have time to do the things you used to do. But, savior it. Later on in life you will look back on this as a time when you allowed yourself to indulge in improving yourself in a way that many don't. You'll want to go back to school if the rat-race allows it. It's good to be a student throughout life.

Best regards,
Tim

Tim,

I'm studying a one year program in Emergnecy Communications and Response...pretty much a fancy name for the person on the other end of 911. It's been quite a unique busy, just with school and the "college" life, but it's going well.

Thanks for the comments and it's great to be back,

Jared

Hey Jared! Glad you poked your head in. Good luck with the interview and field placement.

Axle,

Just got off the phone with the interview. 45 minutes long and quite intense (atleast for me). But, if I "score" high on this interview, I just have to be security cleared and I'm in.

Scary times for an 18 year old,

Jared

I know the feeling, I've been doing interviews for full time work as I'm recent grad (Dec). Keep on treking!

Glad to have you back buddyboy. I am about 550 up on you, lets see if you can catch me again!

Glad to have you back Jared...Emer. Comm. is a rewarding field. I've had some friends do similar jobs as Police and Highway Patrol dispatchers. They loved it. I'm sure you will, also. Look forward to you getting back involved here. And good luck on the interviews.
Ken

Welcome back! Hope all goes well.

Thanks for all the comments guys, glad to know I can return and not be out of step with the community still.

Almo, give me time...I'll catch up!

Ken, It's quite the unique field. My father is a firefighter, so his work had a huge effect on my decision. Regardless of the dispatching/call taking thing doesn't work out I'll be looking for a job somewhere in the emergency field.

Steve, Thanks for the comments!
