The Selfish Gift Guide

Posted on December 4, 2013June 9, 2017by Vanessa Smith

Blog Planning for Christmas Holidays

I’ve succeeded in geting a 6 month contract for next year, thankfully in an area at least relating to my education. But currently I’m tying up the loose ends of the job I’ve had since […]

To Tell?

Posted on November 27, 2012October 24, 2013by Vanessa Smith

I’ve mentioned on twitter that my day job is having a crazy amount of Christmas parties this year. It’s getting a little silly when you’re invited to five different parties. The main one is a cocktail-style party that I organized with a person from the other department on my floor. It’s at a bit of […]
