Just another normal day
After a 25 minute climb on the stair
Climber, lunch with mom and auntie Esther at Henderson mall, and some gas filling at Esso, mom and I decided to drop by Suzuki Orca Bay to claim our small prize. Yesterday when I checked my mail I found a letter from the dealership saying that we won a discount voucher of approximately $1600 if we want to trade in our car for a new one at the store, as well as three additional prizes out of the following: a chance to win $10,000, $5000, $2500, a webcam, or another voucher. Of course, from the sounds of it the chances of winning cash is quite slim, and the only reason they are offering this is to get people into the store. But I just happened to want to test my luck and went their either way. The sales person was nice and wasn’t pushy when I said I wasn’t interested in getting a new car, and he gave me a free webcam and two scratch tickets. No I didn’t win any of the cash prizes but it was sure fun imagining myself to be one of the winners before hand
. At two I went to Kebe and I have to say that working there is one of the best things in my life now. No its not a career, no its not a full time job, and no it’s not even anything of high prestige, and sometimes I do feel ashamed being a sales still, but just being there with really nice co-workers, two gracious boss, and being surrounded by “all pretty things” makes me feel really comfortable and at ease. 老闆娘 always makes dessert for us to eat while Jack always buys something for us from trips (we each received a Marc Jacob bag!), and they treated us to dinner at the Vancouver revolving tower a few months back worth quite a bit per person. If you ask me, I think this is as good as a part time can get. Anything above this should be called “part time paradise”
Helen and I were tagging the stocks today (which is a very tedious process) but we still managed to have a little bit of fun in between. I had an OPA falafel and it disappointed me. Maybe it’s because I miss the one on the streets of Lund, Sweden too much. I just miss the city.
