Rewind

Yes I have been a total slacker! No I dont have a job! Yes I am still an alcoholic!
SO backing right up, rewinding in random order I will add my views and comments that you have all been dying to hear I am sure.
After 20 odd attempts to find a job and an interview I still was unsuccessful. I basically chose the worst ski season in the middle of a recession to come to Canada and it has not gone in my favor at all! NOR has the fact that I can not commit to the long term or find accommodation helped.
I have however been very fortunate, I have a wonderful girlfriend who went out of her way to keep me sheltered and adequately liquored up. Huge Thank You to Sal, you are a total sweetheart! Also a big kiss to her room mate Kara that put up with me also. Forever in your debt.
I was also extremely lucky to be lent all the necessary kit to ski, skis, boots, stocks, pants, goggles the works......To the friend of a friend, of a friend, Julia or is it Julie, you dont know me at all but you are ever so kind to lend me it all.
Also to all the crew who kept me busy and entertained constantly into the wee hrs of the mornings for 6 weeks I love you! I feel 21 again. Just with bad knees, very sore ass, ongoing hangover and a crap back those parts all definateley feel 30yrs and 11 months.
Once I came to terms with the fact I wasnt getting a place to live and a ski pass FOC with the job I didnt have I went out and bought a pass and didnt look back! Even thought the snow hasnt been the best I made the effort to go up as often as I could and loved every minute of it. Round of applause to those of you that spent the day on the slopes with my slow ass, green, sometimes blue and once black choice of run, you are all very patient! Love you!
Leaving Whistler was like ending a relationship, my heart is still aching, I fell in love with that place and could have so easily stayed......
To be continued.
