Finally, it's all coming together. Besides hemorrhaging dollar bills out our backsides, the past few weeks have been superb. In that time we have both found jobs with WestJet, bought a new Hyundai Santa Fe, bought a condo, and bought enough stuff to fill our new place, such as couches, tables, lamps, carpets, beds, etc, etc. Ana and Barb have been burning up the garage sales getting deals on all sorts of stuff. In fact, I'm going to produce Ana's brand new reality television show called, "Extreme GarageSaleing - Hosted by Junkaholics Ana and Barb".
The place we bought is in a groovy neighbourhood called Inglewood and steps from the river. It is a semi-detached townhouse style condo which means no yard work and no shoveling of snow, yayyyy! It is a three bedroom place with plenty of space so all visitors are welcome. We have even decided to put a home gym in the basement for the amusement of my musclehead friends (Mike) who like to punish me.
Ana is working in the Marketing department of WestJet and loving it, especially since most of her co-workers seem to be quite insane. I am working in the department they refer to as "Beanland" as the JD Edwards guy and really enjoying it. The staff at WestJet constantly walk around with these big smiles plastered on their faces, leading me to believe that there is a "free drug" policy at work as opposed to the regular boring "drug free" office environment. Either that or they really do enjoy their jobs. It is an amazing company to work for as almost all of the employees are shareholders and are all focused on keeping costs down and, therefore, profits high. I think we are going to be quite happy there. The best part is that we can now fly for very cheap all across Canada so perhaps our traveling days are not yet numbered!
