Guest PDSP Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Like many other Torontonians, I eagerly await the arrival of my beloved federal employee, otherwise known as the "postie". I thought I would start this thread as a place to collate messages regarding both the joyous and introspective responses. And as the great Gretzky says, "You'll always miss 100 percent of the shots you do not take." So, for those of us facing some personal reflection time today, we'll have to keep shooting for our dream. Good luck to all! PD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guess whoz Bizzak Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hey guys, as of this morning I did not receive anything in Richmond Hill. Gotta get my mom to go to my dad's office, get the mailbox key, and go home to check the mail for me, cause I will be at work until 8pm, and an so on edge that I'm having a hard time at getting anything done here at work...and it's not like I have any shortage of stuff to work on Hope the interview fairy comes today. Oh, and I am still a firm believer that McMaster should contract the Harry Potter owls to deliver their letters for them! ~JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macdaddyeh Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 I guess nothing (good or bad) yet in GTA. Where does Dannyboy live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDSP Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 macdaddyeh, TO, but I think Dannyboy is "off-line" for the next week. BTW Sorry to hear that your mailbox held no news for you. You seem to have quite the cheering crowd! Good luck. PD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erinsmom2bmd Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hi Guess Whoz Bizzak. It's great to know someone else is applying from Richmond Hill (and posting on this board). I too have not received anything yet. I'll be heading home from work a little early today (~ 4pm) to check the mail. If I receive anything, I'll be sure to let you know that the mail has finally come our way! As you've probably read in another thread, mail has been received from Mac in Thornhill. So, it shouldn't be long! Hope there's a big brown envelope waiting for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macdaddyeh Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Just talked to a Mac applicant friend who lives in downtown Toronto (she doesn't post on this site). She too has not heard anything:( Maybe it's just the big bureacratic disaster of mailing to a megalopolous! I knew amalgamation wasn't a good move... If any Hogtowners hear today, let us know;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G8M8T Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 I got an interview rejection for the second time out of three trys. I had an interview at MAC last year. Better luck to the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macdaddyeh Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 G8M8T: Again, I am very sorry to hear of your situation and firmly hope that you have chances elsewhere; if not, please apply again cuz I know ya will!

Guest MedsWannabe Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hello, My letter isn't here yet, but i'm in residence in TO and our mail doesn't show up until 4 pm (so of course I'm skipping out on work and experiments today!)... BUT a fellow MSc student who lives downtown TO already got his rejection letter this morning, so they must be out in the toronto area... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MedsWannabe Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 I live in graduate residence in TO, and our mail system is soooo s l o w, and I am getting desperate waiting for my mailbox to fill up.

Guest Guess whoz Bizzak Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 VwDubber....hopefully you're rollin' on dubs in a sick VW with an interview letter in your hand. Was it an interview letter you got, or a thinvelope? If the former, we finally got some more good news guys, and have broken out temporary slump. ~JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bone Gal Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Hi MedsWannabe! I bet you I have probably ran into you before in GH. I lived there for only about 8 months before moving back into my parents' home. I was one of the first ones to live there, when we had to pay full rent, and there were no furniture in the suite or toilet in the bathroom! But I believe that it is better now. A few of my friends live in that building who I play vball with......small world! A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MedsWannabe Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 My suitemate heather plays every possible type of vball that GH has.... you probably know her I bet I have met you-- I've been to a lot of the vball outings because of the fact that my suitemate plays on so many teams....

Guest Bone Gal Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Oh my goodness! I play on the GH team with heather. We finished first in our pool so we are heading into playoffs next week. Cool. I guess I will be seeing you around! A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MedsWannabe Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Crazy small world..... I think I've ended up at most of the vball pub nights, so I've probably met you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
