going to a church dinner tonight because they give out free supper every tuesday. definitely taking advantage of that, i havent had a supper since i left whitehorse!
also i think i have a 2nd job? at a grocery store? im not too sure actually, i just went in and asked about it and they were like come back with your worktimes and we'll try to work you in. andt they said it would be good news when i come back. soo, who knew eh!? ive been looking for a job forever in brantford this big city, and i have to come out to a little 100 population town to land 2 jobs.
ill actually be living my chilhood dream of a grocery store cashier!!!! YEAH DAD!
my favourtie house. most houses here are bright colours, there is another favourite one thats purples but i have yet to get a pic.
the amount i paid for my mini wheats! mind you they WERE jumbo size
thought i was done with sharing a bathroom with random people.. but guess not.
most amazing picture ever. all the buildings in dawson are like this.
the hotel im working at.
This is our road, there are no paved roads, only the one highway that is on the outskirts of Dawson. Other than that, everything is dirt, and its best to close your mouth when cars pass.
Me and Michelles room, Mine is the one closer to the window. Since we are the closest to the front door, she can be the first to be murdered (HAHA we joked about this). As you notice, we dont have any comforters.. only these thin foam like blankets.
Was on the bus again, for another 6 hours. It actually went by fast though campared to the last 4 days, feet did not swell up this time but my butt still hurt! Everyone was amazed by all the mountains and the scenery, but I was not. I've seen it all before on the bus coming up haha.
So finally I arrived in Whitehorse, and no word of a lie it looks like a trailer park!!! I'm waiting to meet a Randy or Bubbles look alike, although everyone is SUPER nice. Maybe I'm just used to Toronto's style of ‘everyone for themselves’ where it’s safer to keep to yourself, but here people walking past you actually say hello and ask how you are! I cant believe it. Like when it first happened I looked behind me to see if the man was talking to a person he knew.. but no he was talking to me. I looked like a complete idiot haha but then said hello back.
I went shopping.. it came to about $16.00. all I bought was a little jug of milk and mini wheats. Milk was $4.00 and the box of mini wheats was $12.00!!!!! made sure to get a picture of that haha. It was a small store called the Bonza Market, they are looking for more help so I might actually see about apply there if I'm not getting enough hours at the hotel. Maybe ill get an employee discount on shopping... but I doubt it; that would be too awesome.
The house that we are all in is actually pretty good, going into it I had very low expectations. But its pretty roomie and comfortable, there is a living room with furniture and then a kitchen with dishes and stuff. There are about 6 rooms I think, I'm actually too lazy to get up and count them haha, there are about 6 people in our apartment so far. The bathroom met my low expectations though, there are only 2 bathroom stalls and 2 showers, which I cant figure out how to work? I was in the smallest one at first trying to figure out how to turn it on and then my shampoo fell off the shelf and threw shampoo all over my pj bottoms. So then I went over to the bigger shower to see if I could get that working and spent about 10 mins trying to get the shower to turn on. I never could get it on so I had to have a bath.. I felt more dirty getting out then I did getting in. But I figured people in 3rd world countries have bathed in worse, so I just accepted it. Although ill have to figure it out for tomorrow because I refuse to have another dirty bath.
I had my tour of the hotel today to show me around for work, I was completely confused, I do not remember anything. So I start work tomorrow at 9 and I have to try and find my way back to this one building and back to the exact spot where we have to meet up with everyone else. Should be good times. The hotel has like 3 different separet buildings so the place is like a maze that all look the same; colourful looking old school buildings.
Ill close up with saying that my phone DOES NOT WORK. And its like everything closes at 4 or 5pm so by the times ill be done work and everything ill have no where to go and get internet. But I figure if I was in a 3rd world country I wouldn’t have those luxuries either. (I'm referring a lot to 3rd world countries because at the moment I am reading Little Princes, a book about this guy who travels to Nepal to help little abandoned children. Its really inspiring and good I recommend it.)
I had my first day of actual work today, im exhausted. I worked from 9am to 430pm haha with a half hour lunch that they provided and then 2 15min breaks. Everone on the housekeeping staff are awesome and nice, we have these 2 guys who are twins and the only way people tell the apart is because one of them have a mole on their face. Poor guy haha, "Oh yeah thats Blaire.. the one with the massive mole on his face!! Cant miss him!"
I will be going out tonight to see a burlesque(sp??????) show at this bar called Gerties. Should be goodtimes, apparently old Gertie herself (who is about 75 im told) comes out sometimes and dances too.
Ok well youll be hearing more from me when and if I can get internet again anytime soon!
