The 2nd best thing about this short trip was that even though it was work-related (and expenses paid), it totally didn't feel like it. Funny cause I just got my cheque from the last pay period and it surprised me because I had expected it to be way lower as if I had taken a vacation over Reading Week but duh, I still managed to kick in a good 30hrs while I was there. Besides being able to go out in the Village before or after our shifts, we were also all given a full day off to spend at our leisure - with the exception of working around the scheduled time in our itinerary for attending an Olympic Event. Everyone that got sent out were given tickets to see one (Thank you BH!), depending on what was happening around the time of your waves. I got to go see the Ladies Alpine Downhill skiing, which was a Medal Event happening at Whistler's own Creekside hills:
Okay, I confess. They are so much more to me than just numbers. I've been so damn stressed, emotional and confused lately, and what it really comes down to is just having them all to talk to on the Floor and to discuss life's adventures & opportunities with. Because in reality, although sometimes even I forget, I'm still one of the babies and I really do need their advice, support, guidance - ANYTHING, especially when the people that I should be getting it from the most just don't understand. Gosh, I'm pretty sure that they've all seen me cry my eyes out at the store throughout the years (and maybe at a recent shift)... c'mon Diaz! So to Madeline, Judy, Tif (always), Nikki, Hayley who's not shown, and Deb...thank you.
PS. Holla at my girl Jess T. for taking the photo at our staff dinner and bc she told me that she'd love a shoutout on here, haha.
PPS. The real 'baby' of the group was on the 1st wave out to Vancouver/Whistler today and she's constantly been keeping me updated via text so that I know what's up ("Apparently we're staying in ____'s _____!", "Nothing to sit on at the station", etc).
PPPS. Oh and Deb is in Europe. Madd jealous.
As some of you may know, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 4yrs together recently and we did something a little different this year. It's true that after each year that passes, celebrations like this require a little bit more thought and to be honest, I really didn't think anything could top last years anniversary. But I was wrong, and we continue to amaze me every day. Exactly one month ago from today, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful country that we live in and witnessed in all it's glory, the breathtaking sights found only about an hour away from us.
