From Grads to Nomads

I was able to close up at work early tonight, so I went down to Kilkenny to meet my friends, and I was stopped at the door by the bouncer not to ask if I had id, but if I had any friend pre holding a seat for me, since it was 100% full in there!! Great game tonight, 5-2 is always a nice win!

Work is going very well, I am hoping to get out golfing tomorrow since it is still a little slow with the tee times, and since I never work until 2pm....well, that leaves lots of time to get a round in!

Rob and I have secured a 2 bedroom residence room in Oxford now, so for any visitors we may have, you now get your own bedroom, instead of the couch in a living room!

That's all for now, and for anyone in Calgary who gets hungry or thirsty, feel free to come down by Valley Ridge and visit me at work!

I am off to work in a few hours here, I am enjoying my job, and I can't wait until the golf course opens, so that there are both more customers, and so i can begin golfing myself, due to my nice benefit of free golfing!

I have to admit, there are days now where I miss the carefree existence of being a traveller, as that now feels like a long time ago. However, I love summer in Calgary and I am looking forward to getting out to the mountains on days off, and golfing, and a full season of soccer. The first outdoor practice was the other day, which was great except for the two high school boys watching us while believing they were discreetly smoking a joint. Too bad for them that they were upwind of us on a windy day.....so hence the entire field had a pungent odour to it!

Well, I should go walk my dog Tess and find my black pants for work!

I have officially begun working now after my 7 or so month hiatus from the working world. I am now the Restaurant Supervisor at Valley Ridge Golf Course until September the first. I especially enjoy getting to use their computer system that requires scanning my fingerprint to login. Work is going well, and I intend to make use of the free golf I will get there all summer long. Anyone reading this in Calgary, feel free to come in there for dinner, the food is excellent (as is the service!)
Our trip to DC/Vegas was fabulous, despite both cities being around the same temperature, which is a little weird. However we made the most of viewing American history and the sinful pleasures of food, shopping, and gambling in Las Vegas.

I will periodically update this throughout the summer, for anyone reading it still.

As our last full day in Vegas was today, we wandered over to the Wynn for breakfast, and it is just a phenomenal place, with silk woven walls, intricate placed tiles on the floors in bright colours, and splashes of vibrant colour everywhere you look. We wandered the shops in the afternoon, and as it was quite chilly, our afternoon plans of sitting by the pool were kaiboshed. Now I must face the feat of packing my bag, and get ready to enjoy tomorrow as we have until 10pm still to spend in LV.
