Its been about a month since i last wrote on here so it's definately about time we did!!
We have been very busy and havn't had much access to thie internet. Over Christmas and new year the hotel was mannic-ly busy and we were always completely shattered. We have also been very busy with other activities such as snow boarding and ice Skating.
Rich has Joined the Ice Hockey team here and I have asked to be their sports therapist, they havn't needed me but hopefully they will soon, i have been watching the games so far, the team havn'd won yet, but this is largely due to the opporsition who are all Canadian who are playing ice hockey the minute they are born!
I have been trying to become better at snowboarding. I was practising lots, but then i decided I needed a lesson. One of the instructors that live about temple pizza and colleague services (where Rich works). Rory from Basingstoke gave me a lesson in exchange for a 6 pack of beer and a massage, great swap for both of us I think!!
Slight twist in our travel plans!!
Work decided to fire me, the reason they gave was total bulls*** - I turned up too early to work (45 mins) and for all they know I could have been about to go to the cafe to grab a brew!! they also said I turned up on a day which I wasn't scheduled, this was becasue they had given me the wrong schedule the week before. I was never late and never missed a day of work. I'd prefer they told me a real reason for example - i'm sorry but we don't have enough work for you at the moment. Because they are now treating me like a criminal. I can't go in the Pub, there is a photo of me on the 'wall of shame' (meaning i'm Barred) Lordy described it as the cutest photo, how could you not let me in! I fund it rather intrusive that my photo was up there but ohwell, I laughed when I found out it was tehre because that really is extreme giving the reason for my dissmissal!
I am also not allowed on the Fairmont premesis for 3 months as a policy, so I can't even come and visit Rich, he has to come and visit me in the lake Louise villiage.
I came away from being sacked wondering what on Earth I was going to do now homeless (in a week) and Jobless having to live off anymoney that Lordy makes.
It seems I am gossip of the place at the moment, even people who don't know me have heard about "The girl who got fired for turning up to work too early".
Since everyone has found it so rediculous they have all jumped to help me as they know I would be very stuck and lonely.
Within 24 hours I had a job interview at Lake Louise Inn, I didn't feel I had to apply anywhere else since it was a great interview, a day later I found I was successful and I think I will be a lot happier working there, a nicer atmosphere, cosier rooms toclean, rather than the dingy ones I have been doing. The Staff accom is apparently very nice and you get your own room and frigde - Drawback is shared bathroom but not too many people. Less money but if i'm happier it's worth it!
Sadly we had to move out of our lovely appartment we were havihng a great time there with lovely flatmates. Lordy gets to now move in with DJ BULLET! this funny small Jamcan guy who spends every pub night break dancing, even when playing pool! He is the Entertainment. I laughed when I found out that was where Rich had to move to.
Next on the agenda, when I am settled, earning and we have gathered some money we will be on the hunt for a car, so we can easily travel to the villiage and up to the Chateau (lordy this is, i'm not allowed). also useful for when we go on our travel right before we come back home.
Yesterday we saw the Olympic torch at lake Louise ski hill, it was great to see!! There was a show of skiers and snowboarders jumping this massive kicker (skijump) we have it all on camera. One poor chap is badly injured after trying to be cocky going over a jump. He was planning to spin off this great hight, one of his skis flew off as he got in the air and he landed flat on his face.... nice concussion and whiplash there!! He was instantly knocked out and skiers coming down had to aim to aviod landing on him, they all came and stood infront of him so that everyone wasnt staring whilest he received medical attention. We shall put the video up when we can conect Lordy's comp (which is now working again thank you dad!) to the internet , as that is where all of our photos are.
We will be keeping up the skating and snowboarding, now that we have our ski passes, very exciting!!! we will try and write in a couple of weeks depending on internet availabilty, obveously it's been difficult so far.
Hope all are well. Loads of love
