School, work and job fulfilment

Today in class we were talking about innovation and motivation. How these two lets you enjoy your work. Then someone said that they need to find a new place because he pretty much hates his job. Then I agreed. Then third one said she is already out :). Then I remembered that today is the last day to apply for a Marketing Assistant job. So I applied. Still am going to go to Toronto next year...

My business casual look. Still need to find some accesories and shoes. Probably will borrow from my sister.

Baking with niece and nephew

To help my sister I decided to bake with my niece. Since it didn't work out the day I had planned, my sister asked me to do it yesterday.  Well I started to bake with my niece but then my nephew wanted to join as well. So instead of letting my niece do everything by herself and just helping her a little, I would also let my nephew take part and do some of the measurements myself. 

So we started with the pies dough, my niece mixed the butter with sugar. Then my nephew wanted to mix as well and dipped his finger tops in the dough. He didn't really mix much so my niece continued mixing. After all ingredients were mixed with rotating the mixer (my niece or nephew) the dough was put the fridge. 

Then we started to do the Mocha thingy (too lazy to google what it is really called). This was also done partly rotating the doer, but as we used real mixer first my niece would do it all by herself. My nephew didn't quite like the sound of the mixer. 

Due to all this mixing taking so much time, I did the rest (the toppings) with little help from my sister.

School et al

So... What can I say. Been really busy bee (work and school and work and school)(also with niece and nephew). I have already met with my group members twice so far. I do have to say that it is really good to change opinions irl and not just via email. It has been helpful with the school tasks. Out of which today I needed to return one paper in. I have two to be done by 8th of November. The real return day is 11th, but I will be in (travelling to) Canada by that time, so I need to have the papers ready before I leave. This means that I really need to step on it! 

I already know the company I am going to use as a case company. I will use Rovio because they are pop at the moment and it is about in the same field with me. I was thinking of doing it about Energia Production, but they website wasn't quite up to par (yes I wanted to use them because of the business day). But yes I need to do some research of the company compared if I would do it of where I work. Not panicking (yet). I have already started the second paper and the fact that I have chosen the company of which to write is a big step (huge). All I now need to remember is to write academically...

I got email from Canada today. They sent a dress code (recommendations on what to wear)... Yes I was already planning on picking up some warm clothes, but it was very nice to be reminded that around this time it can be quite cold... (well they say between -1C and -10C which is not that cold if you ask me.) One thing that was new to me was the sweat lodge. It sounds like sauna, but we need to wear clothes. After little extra research, I am not sure I can take part. It is usually a small hut, that is dark (no problem), hot (no problem per se) and moist (ah, not a fan). I am not sure if there will be enough air. I am not sure they would appreciate if I fainted there.  I have fainted in sauna before and I still need to have wet hair when I go to sauna. So I need to think about it. 

In the end we are having a Gala Dinner, where the dress code is business casual. So not quite sure what that means. They say that no jeans, nothing wrinkled or ripped... Right I am travelling for a day before I am there! Then I will not stay in one place for the whole time so that I could leave what I am going to wear to unwrinkle. Oh, and we are going to share rooms. No problem, I just hope I will have good roommate.  But now I will need to go google some casual business wear.

Btw I just heard from the radio the Chemical Brothers - Galvanize. Man, it is a good song.

Business day in my school

I am not sure if I was the right target audience, but I went there anyway because my sister asked me to and because the director of the Iron Sky was there. The whole idea behind this event was to show the current students what opportunities the school has to provide. It showed how succesful some projects had been and it also introduced all different areas of the scholl (it's not just a business school). Then there were graduated students who described how they were using the skills they learned from this school in the real life.

They also had a special guest of the day. Last year they had the Madventure guys (my sister told me so) and this year, as I mentioned earlier, the director of the Iron Sky movie Timo Vuorensola. This part was really interesting to me. He told how the Star Wreck series was created and what was the process of creating Iron Sky. It was really innovating to hear how a dream could become a movie and all about how they used the internet to their advantage. Maybe the word used is wrong. It was co-operation where both got something in return. Very innovating indeed.

I have to apologizes now, the business day was almost a week ago. I have been writing this along this whole time, but haven't had enough time to really finish it. So the point I had in my mind has gone away. But if you ever have a chance to go hear him or other people who made Iron Sky (or Star Wreck) I would recommend you to go. It might give you new ideas!
