An update

Well it's been a while since i have updated everyone. Since coming back to Calgary i stayed in a hostel for about a week until i finally got my own place. I have been lucky to share with some really nice guys. It was an all male household until i moved in and even though they are only about 23 they are nice guys to share with. The house is usually messy with beer cans everywhere and empty pizza boxes in the lounge but it's a cozy and friendly home so i don't care.

So i have been working as a temp since i got back and at the moment i have been placed in a great position in a hospital. I am working with the Southern Alberta Tissue Program as a secretary. My position involves doing an awful lot of Data base work and updating clients files. I was even allowed to go to the lab and help to throw away human hip bones (Femur Heads). It was not grose like you would think, it was a good day. I am also working nights and weekends at a store called Shoppers Drug Mart. It's my first time at being a check out chic and although it's boring and hard to stand on your feet for a long time i am kind of enjoying my first experience at being a check out chic. It's also good because staff members get a 30% discount.

Calgary has been experiencing some of the coldest weather on record. We have days where the weather has been up to minus 28 degrees with the wind chill making the weather feel minus 40 degrees celcius.. I have had to wear thermals to and from work. One day stupid me forgot to wear them and man did my legs hurt. I have never known my skin to hurt so much. I have to wear snow boots to and from work and take a pair of shoes in my bag and then change my shoes when i get inside. Winter is high maintenance. But once your inside the snow is really pretty to look at. Bloody slippery to drive and walk in and looks yukky when it goes brown. Makes for a really funny scene when i try to walk down the street and fall over with arms and legs flying everywhere like something out of a cartoon.

It's only about 4 weeks now until my visa expires and then it will be time to head home. I have not started making plans yet for coming home it will all be last minute after Xmas when i see how much money i have. So god only knows i night be swimming.

Anyway am gonna fly now...

More later
