The shop has been fairly slow leaving me with a lot of time to learn about the products. We carry this brand called Cold As Ice which I was pretty supportive of. They make some decent products with a good women's fit. That, and they are a women specific company.
But........ I want to know what...
So alas, I sit here in my ski pants waiting to drop my check off at the Von's and typing on here. The inspiration for this post is the fact that I walked into my bathroom and it smelled like garlic. Seriously, it did. I don't really understand why considering my roommate left yesterday for the...
So I'm sitting at the town watering hole again (The Looney Bean) watching pretty decent snow fall with 40 degree temperatures. Still blows my mind how warm it is up here. Anyway, I took the day off from ski school do to this horrible cold that just wont go away. So instead I'm working online and...
My home is fairly fantastic. It has beds, and couches, and a tv. The shower is fantastic, and it doesn't take too much effort to heat it up. Definitely a great thing. I still need to figure out exactly where the hot tub is and the laundry room, but I have at least another week before I need to...
So I suppose I can say I'm happy. $2000 poorer, but happy. Kids in Washington have it good; there housing is affordable. In Mammoth.... $1700 for a 2 bedroom + loft in the oldest part of town. But I won't complain. It is a great deal compared to what else is available. That and it is furnished...
At the present moment, I wish I was sure I had months to get it down. I am starting to become severely worried about my housing situation. Benny, Matt, and Spencer have been fantastic about letting me sleep/eat/shower here, but there comes a time where you feel like you have worn out your...
I finally was able to go skiing today. Only did 3 runs and was out for a little under an hour, but still worth it. Tried some jumps... need to wax the skis so I can actually get enough speed going off the jumps. Landing on the flat is never fun. Conditions are definitely improving up here. I'm...
So the drive here was less than pleasant.
Started out with having a semi truck tailgating me at about 50 mph through Minneapolis rush hour. Then me finally passing the 15 cars i was trying to pass, getting in to the right lane and having him purposely run me off the road. This was followed with...
It is totally true. So my blog will no longer be about the Midwest. I consider this a great thing.
I don't technically have jobs yet. But after talking on the phone with two different places I'm pretty sure Ski School is going to take me in and then I'll take on full time at one of the hotels up...
So there were several reason I came back to Minnesota. Primary one was I didn't enjoy leaching off of my friends when I couldn't find a job. Another was I had a slight health concern. But the later is over and now it is just the issue of a job. I realize I just started a position and I hate the...
These are my last few hours of being unemployed. I am a little sad. As much as I have hated being broke and frustrated and distraught at times, I have also loved the times where I was relaxed. It was so nice having no responsibility.
I was thinking about getting a second job but I think I am...
Summaries are so summarizing. So let's talk winter.
It is now approximately 2 days since it has snowed, but none the less, it snowed. I was debating if this was a big deal or not, but since the last two days have brought below 40 degree fahrenheit weather, I am declaring winter. Any warm day...
Anyway, I will look at this business as a completely positive thing.
First, I was hired at Columbia Outerwear at The Mall of America. I don't start for about a week and a half though, so I am still looking for that $20 an hour + benefits position, but at least I have a pretty good base pay with...
The manager at Quiksilver is out for the week, probably doing band things. This causes a problem for me since they just had a posting go up for supervisor 2 days ago. I would love to apply, but Tim being gone makes things difficult.
I spoke with the manager of Oakley today as well. He informed...
I talked to the store manager at American Apparel in Uptown and she informed me they were having an open call for hiring at 1 today. So of course I showed up all dressed up and hot like usual. I sat and chatted and felt it went pretty well. This put me in a pretty good mood so I decided to head...
I'm living with my dad right now in this time of personal economic crisis. I just graduated college with a fairly useless degree (useless to me at least) and a lot of debt. I've been spoiled. I was in So Cal the last 5 years working at Mt. High, skiing in Big Bear and even working at Mammoth...
