David's 2nd Visit

David got here Sunday afternoon, and it almost felt as if he'd never left!

So far we've had some cute adventures... Yesterday we took a walk to what people call "Surprise Corner", which brings you alongside the Bow River to a beautiful view of the Fairmont. We had a little photoshoot and got some great shots.

I've decided to take the route that apparently a lot of fairmont employees take, which is finding a second job downtown. With my extensive retail experience I've figured it wouldn't be too difficult for me to obtain this, NOT to mention evvvverywhere in Banff is hiring. The only problem people have, is finding an affordable place to live, if anywhere.

So a Quiksilver store just opened a week or so ago, and I went in and talked to a manager, later brought in my resume and filled out an application... Of course we got a long really well, which for me I think is a given because I'm a very easy person to get a long with and am not at all shy! :) They're definitely looking for part-timers, which is exactly what I want--up to 3 shifts a week or so.

I think it would be a pretty awesome opportunity; it would give me a reason to get out of my apartment and go downtown after I'm done work at the fairmont, it would engage me with a different crowd and more people, and it would balance out my work in terms of working in an extremely professional environment/restaurant, and then also in a more laid back/relaxed "easier" environment. Also would provide me with a paycheque to save, and one to spend. I'm really hoping this works out.

Tonight David and I may meet up with his friends Kyle and Lindsay from Canmore for a few drinks. Then he goes home tomorrow :(

ps... I got season one of Dexter in the mail?

Good luck with your job application!
Banff is such a beautiful place. We've been there on 3 different vacations, the last two for Christmas 06, and 07. I have no idea WHY we've never been to 'surprise corner.' For sure next time we will!
