Man, I gotta stop the month long gaps between entries.
Nothing to exciting since the last one. Went to Sun Peaks resort at the end of March for some epic snowboarding. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, no wind at all, and lots of snow. The only thing that could've made it better was a couple fresh inches the night before..but i digress.
Sun Peaks side note: Learned a couple new shots at a pub called "Bottom's Up!" that is located in Sun Peaks village.
Shot 1 interaction with the bartender went like this.
Me: I'll have a shot (duh...clearly hammered at this point)
Bartender: What can I get ya?
Me: I don't know what I want
Bartender: How about a "Chuck Norris"?
Me: What's a "Chuck Norris"?
Bartender: A roundhouse kick to the face
Me:.....You had me at Chuck Norris.
The bartender then proceeded to one of the nastiest shots I've ever consumed. Although they weren't a roundhouse kick to the face...they were something fierce.
I also learned a "Grenade" shot. A grenade is simply a jager bomb, with a shot of goldschlagger. The jager shot, and the goldschlagger are leaned against each other in the glass of redbull so as neither is touching the redbull. The idea is to pull the pin of the grenade (goldschlagger), slam it, and then do the jager bomb.
Needless to say after a Chuck Norris and 3 Grenades, I was feeling great and not seeing straight.
Good news on the work front. We recently went to 3 shifts plus a call list and I made one of the shifts. I was told I was top out of 40 candidates to make it, and they only took 4 total. I'm quite proud of myself as I haven't really been going out of my to get noticed, but I suppose my work is solid enough for the promotion.
The one thing that is aggravating me about this job is all the days off. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for as many days as possible, but I feel like getting a second job to fill the time and earn some more cash.
The only problem with a second job is that the days of my current job change weekly so a second job would be hard to maintain under the hours a company would want.
I wish I had something I could do from home to make money...custom woodworking, home assembly of something, or some sort of website that I could work on during my days off. Hmmm...I'm going to start picking peoples brains for some ideas.
Sports is a huge part in my life right now (more so than usual)
Ive recently started playing ice hockey again in preparation for the summer league season. A bunch of friends will be on my team which should make it fun. I hope I can get back to the form I was in for roller hockey, but skating on ice is a totally different animal.
NHL playoffs are just around the corner, and the Canucks are basically locked into third position in the west. Bad news there is we could face the Red Wings in the first round, not something I want to do.
Opening day in the MLB goes in less than a day. Cant say I'm excited about the Chicago Cubs (favorite team) chances this season, but stranger things have happened. They've got a good rookie in Tyler Colvin on the roster this year. He hit for a .437 average this spring and could be a rookie of the year threat if he stays in the show all season.
This has gone on long enough I feel. I'm up way to early today. Time to go think of a way to make a side income.
Later
