It’s about time I get off this island!

My boss just told me that he’d like me to attend a one-day marketing seminar in Vancouver next month. Awesome! 1) I’ve never been away “on business” before, and 2) since the seminar is on a Thursday, and I get Friday-Saturdays off, I’m just going to stay and spend some time with friends and family on the mainland. Going to Vancouver can get pretty expensive, which is why I rarely ever go. But since it’s for business, I would get to use my company credit card to reimburse me for the ferry, and transportation to and from the ferry. I also think I get a meal allowance for the day of the seminar as well, but I’ll look into that. Anyway, the trip isn’t confirmed yet, but I hope I get to go!

In other news, I applied for a job in Alberta with a hockey team. It’s for the exact same position my boss has at the arena, except that it’s with an NHL team. I don’t have any expectations, and I don’t even expect to get an interview, but still … I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one! They want 3 years experience, and I only have 2, and they probably already have somebody in mind, so we’ll see.
