Twiddles Fingers...

So more waiting, the weather has warmed up and alot of the early snow which was edging down the mountains has now gone. Still some on the peaks and with the tempreatures still "below average" hopes are still high for a good season.

I formally accepted my "Ski and Snowboard School Sales Host" job this afternoon. The job starts on the 14th November so I've still got some time to waste.

Today SK had 2 job interviews, and from them 2 job offers. She has accepted a job in the really cool/relaxed shop I mentioned in a earlier post. She gets awesome discounts and rental deals, as well as being able to dress really casually - quite an amazing deal :o)

Ben has started/is continuing his training for his "Guest Relations Host" job - today was being taught how to use the computers, and from his explainations it was a slow and painfully drawn-out experience... hehehe ;o)
He has also bought a classical guitar which should arrive within the next week; so he will be able to serenade us all... (help!)

Few random things we've had during our job search:
- Most random question on a job application form:
"Tell us the funniest thing that has happened to you in the work place"
- Random interview questions:
"Tell me something funny"
"So tell me about your computer skil... glaces at resume, sees computer science degree .. oh"

Finally something to tax your brains:
In SK's first interview today the interviewer brought his dog along - it was a Chiwawa / German Shepherd cross. Right, just have a think about that for a second, just condsider the physics of what happened when the to be parents met. I can't really get my head around it.

Anyway, tonight I finish Deperate Housewives series 1 (again stop smirking). I'll give a review in my next post.
