Everything Should be Alright.

Well within a week we have both found jobs now! Really glad.
Alyson was approached within the first two days that we got here, in about the only five minute time slot that I wasn't with her, by some guys from Buffalo Bills. It's a club/pub that is apparently one of the best places you can get work here. Everyone who hears that she's got a job there is jealous, apparently you can make $200 in tips per night quite regularly, and $500 on big nights. Crazy, hopefully she can support us both.
I now have two jobs however, had my first shift at the cinema last night. It's not too bad at all, really rather simple work at an incredibly low wage but that's alright, everything here is usually low. At least i get free pop-corn and soft drink and of course movies. My other job is at the RoundHouse which is a fast food eatery on top of Whistler. It's perfect because I get a free lift pass working with the mountain! So hopefully i'll work it that I can do a few days there and 4 or so nights at the cinema.

Everything has been much more exciting of late because snow has been falling! It's so awesome to see. In fact the first day when it was still rather high up the mountain i was that excited that i tried to walk to it. I definately could have done it but there was only an hour left of sunlight before i left. So i had to head back once all of a sudden the clouds came over the closest mountain and everything got much darker and it would have been tough to walk down the hills in the rain/ even snow high up. I did get to see my first bear though, it was about 60 odd metres away but very cool to see one. Also a little frightening because at that point I was out of sight of everything and it suddenly felt like yes there are actually bears around here, and I thought they might be everywhere. Not to worry though they tell me. Cougars are the ones to worry about, if you see a Cougar it's probably been stalking you for hours and your about to be eaten. Still it would be cool to see one.

We're looking at all our options for buying our gear at the moment. Tossing up whether to buy or hire it, its hard to tell when the lifts will open. But I figure that if the snow falls enough and the lifts still aren't open i can trek up a little and that'd be worth while. We're both working tonight, it's a pretty strange feeling to finish work and head back to your hotel, I like it.
