So...it's another day of "work"...

I am actually happy about all this freedom and free time I get at work. It really is a sweet deal, me getting to use the computer for 8 hours on almost whatever I want - emailing/msning/working on this blog. In fact if it is not for what I am doing right now, the blog would not be set up so quickly. Anyways not until today does it really hit me that I have only 4 days of work to go; my last day of work is this Thursday, since Betty Ann is going on vacation to Los Cabos (Mexico) next week, and Stephanie and I are the house managers next week. I also can't believe we are almost leaving Blind River. Two more weeks...time really does fly.

When each Katimavik participant finishes their work placement, they are supposed to get a letter of recommendation/reference from their employers. However because this is Betty Ann's first year in actually dealing with Katimavik kids directly (previously it was Ross MacDonald, who was the office manager of the Travel Center plus Betty Ann's assistant who dealt with stuff like this), she doesn't really have an idea of the Katimavik paperwork that she needs to do. Because I suspected that I will not get a letter if I don't say anything, I reminded her today about the letter plus the work portfolio that we have to work on, and I suggested that if she didn't have a letter ready for me, then I would write one and she can edit it. Hahaha, my suspicions were correct - she took my suggestion and asked me to write my own reference letter. So this is what I am going to do right now...and tomorrow morning we will talk about my work portfolio (again it's my idea).

How exactly should I write a reference letter so that I don't sound biased on my account, but still give me an excellent advantage? Moreover how strange it is to write my own reference letter to begin with...

I shall google for ideas...be back later.
