Well, sort of!
Friday morning, I move about three kilometres north of here to just within the Oliver town limits, and I’ll be staying there right through to February or March!
I’ve been ‘hired’ as an after hours campground host, by the first campground at which I inquired about such work! I’ll be on duty Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings in exchange for full hookups! Let me repeat that: I’ll be ‘paid’ to stay home weekday evenings. LOL If the weather here is as good as propaganda says it is, I probably won’t have to do too much to get Miranda comfortable and I might be able to keep her mobile enough to make it worth taking her out on my three day weekends, if I’m not working. We’ll see!
The manager’s family owns the supermarket and I’ve been advised to show up with a resumé. It’s not quite the sort of work I’m looking for, but I won’t turn up my nose at it!
Sounds like it will be a quiet winter and just what I’m looking for. I just love the thought of taking on easy work with little responsibility. I know that my pay will take a sharp drop unless I get really lucky paying work-wise, but I’m tired. I’ve been working since I was thirteen years old and most of that work entailed heavy responsibilities. Just let me earn enough to pay my bills and put some aside for the summer and I’ll be happy.
Good for you Rae! I have not been to Oliver in the winter but my friends there say it is nice. It is typical small town BC and far enough from the “touristy” part of the Okanagan so people are friendly.
Have fun, buy an electric heater and don’t forget to run the generator for an hour a month under load (heater and A/C on at the same time would be good)
I would be scared to run the generator for an hour in a campground. That thing is noisy and smelly! I’m going to have to make it a point to exercise Miranda, too, and bring her someplace where I won’t be embarrassed to run the generator!
I’m going to have fun partying with the snowbirds. Bingo night, here I come!
Beware the “Happy Hour”!
Sounds like YOU have quite the story to tell about Happy Hour, LOL!
WOOHOO! That’s great news! Obviously their first impression of you and your CV were impressive enough that they didn’t need me to confirm that you would be an asset to the campground…they never called!
Félicitations! J’espère que tu prendras l’opportunité de t’amuser et de te reposer pendant les prochains 3/4 mois…tu l’as bien mérité! 80)
They didn’t call?! Geeze, I didn’t even give a full resumé. Wow.
Merci! Je me suis promis d’au moins essayer à apprendre à faire du ski cette année. 🙂
That is great news… somewhere to stay in exchange for being their evening hostess… what an opportunity… and working in a grocery store wouldn’t be that bad… glad to hear you are doing well… I had toast and cheese whiz yesterday and though of you… Happy Thanksgiving long weekend…. Dee
