Okay so we have been in our apartment now for nearly a month! Really not done much in this time still! I have got a full time job at Domino's which surprisingly I really enjoy. I had a couple of interviews for receptionists and a part time server in a Tapas Restaurant but I declined them all. I just have a feeling about Domino's. Its so relaxed the people are great the Boss is lovely. I think I'm really going to enjoy myself there this winter. Plus of course its Domino's my ultimate favourite food! Mike has also been offered a full time job at The Wood Run Hotel which is one of the very few hotels on the actual mountain with ski in ski out facilities. It also boasts the largest outside hot tub in Whistler. There are 2 gondola lifts one at Whistler and one at Creekside where we live. He can get the Creekside Gondola up and snowboard to work! Right to the door! His hours are 5 days a week either 9am - 5pm or 1pm - 9pm. He is to be on call 2 days a week and sometimes gets a company Jeep. He is the Maintenance Supervisor so has to test all the appliances, fix leeks etc and also supervise the housekeeping staff. He has to take the guests to their rooms and show them how everything works. They own a couple of hotels so he will be chauffering them from one to another also. $12 an hour to start then rapidly goes up.
I am on $9 an hour which goes up to $10 after training. I need to pay $20 and go on a food safe course which alot of the other workers are going on also. Each week you write down the hours you can do and cannot do. Which is great. I can just write the same hours as what mike is working! Plus the supervisor there - Danielle who is LOVELY! Said we all only really need to do 1 day shift each week. Which means we can all snowboard the rest of the week. Sounds brilliant to me!
Okay enough about work! There has been about 25cm of snow on the mountains and its all everyone is talking about. I think the lifts open on 25th November and we cant wait! I have 2 snowboards now which is great. One for powder and one for the park. I am going to concentrate on jumps and the terrain park I think. We have our helmets sorted and have even bought our good friend Danny one who is coming out for 6 weeks in the winter Cant Wait!
There is a great night of Dub Step and Drum and Bass every Tuesday at Max Fish. We are going there in a couple of Tuesdays with Danielle from Dominoes. Looking forward to it.
Also Beau and Brianna are coming to stay for the weekend tomorrow night! They have their pirate costumes I have my wench and Mike is going as a punk rock scary biker. We are going to wash all the sheets and tidy the house today. I have offered to make them dinner, as they made us a roast when we left Banff. I wonder what I shall cook them....any guesses? Yes those of you who know me well will know exactly what i'm going to cook them! CARBONARA! Easy, tasty, and cheap! Beau doesnt like much so I might buy a stake and cook him steak and chips! They are bringing us monster as its cheaper there than here and also our bottle of vodka. Mike has promised to not get too drunk so we will see how that goes....not convinced!
So Friday night we are cooking a meal, Saturday we will have a walk round Whistler show them the area etc and have lunch! Saturday Night we will get dressed up for Halloween and go on the Whistler Pub Crawl! $40 a think with free drinks and entry fees and games etc. Sunday will be hungover but we could maybe go to Squamish and have a look round there? Sunday night I have to work at 6.00pm so I really hope I dont have one of those hangovers where I am being sick every half and hour till 9pm at night! Pizza before I go to bed and should be fine!
Been playing a bit of tennis recently its just even stevens on every point on every game and every match and every set we play! But I seriously think I am the better player?!!!! We are trying to sell our beloved van "Woody" and have put it on "Craigs List" which is HUGE over here. Its kind of like ebay but its just really an online noticeboard which is free of charge to put things on for sale and jobs etc. Everyone goes on every day to see what jobs are going, whats being sold, etc. Hopefully someone will buy it soon!
