Sooo I just thought I would update again...

I forgot to mention in my last blog, some recognition that I've been getting at my Fairmont job.

There is this thing called a "Bravogram", which is a written letter of recognition given to you by a supervisor or fellow employee, who believes you've done a good job. So far this week I have received TWO of those, for doing a great job on Expo (my new position) and for always smiling and having a great attitude. Then LAST night, I received a "Service Plus" award, which is worth $5 to the in-hotel 'convenience' store. I was given that for going over and above and helping out, doing something that wasn't necessarily my job.

Yesterday I picked up some new headphones for my ipod. I haven't had working headphones for aWHILE now, so I haven't been able to listen to loud music, with good quality audio, which has been bugging me SO much! There is not much I love more than good quality audio, especially when its a good song :)

So then I took it upon myself, after work last night, to sit myself at the most inconspicuous piano in the hotel, where no one could really hear me, and teach myself some songs I have been wanting to be able to play for awhile now. I successfully learned "A Song to Sing" by Hanson... which none of you will know is a BEAUTIFUL piano only song. I was happy about that.

This weekend we FINALLY have some warmer weather, I have to work later this evening, but I think today I will play some more piano (it's located in a room called the 'conservatory', which is kind of a sun room'ish place, overlooking the side/back of the hotel property... quite beautiful if you ask me!), and then perhaps watch "Sharkwater", a documentary on sharks that I just downloaded.

Anyway, until next time!

Love Alison
