Give Me Back My Five Bucks

On Wednesday I tweeted about how angry I was when I had to wait over 60 minutes on hold with Marriott in order to talk to a customer service rep. Well, yesterday someone from Marriott International called to personally apologize. I liked that, so I took to Twitter to thank them. Still, nothing will give me that hour of my life back … but the bonus Marriott rewards points they credited to my account sure helps ease the pain. :) Speaking of hotels, I’ve finally booked a place for my upcoming trip to San Francisco. I scoured VRBO and AirBnB … Continue reading →

Sorry for the sporadic posting. I thought I’d be spending most of the last few days holed up in my hotel room, catching up on work. But it’s been a pretty fun trip. As soon as I got to my hotel on Tuesday night, I didn’t even have time to go up to my room before I was in the bar drinking beers with the sales guys. Because I try to keep a bit of a dividing line between my work life and my personal life, it’s always such a great experience getting to socialize outside of work hours with … Continue reading →

Lately it seems as if my worlds have been colliding, and it’s all been happening on Twitter! My real life friends have been connecting with my PF blogging friends, my sister has been chatting with a boy that I’ve been seeing, and I’ve also randomly met a neighbour on Twitter who lives a few doors down from me.

And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, I went and met a colleague over the weekend who was … Continue reading →

Since yesterday’s post was in response to a question on Formspring, I thought I’d answer another one because I’m a little behind with them. Someone asked me if I plan on living in Vancouver for the rest of my life. This is sort of in line with a question that someone asked me back in January, whether I’d move out of Vancouver to save money. The answer is: I don’t know if I’ll be in Vancouver forever. I mean, it’s hard to say. I love Vancouver for so many different reasons. I love the neighbourhood I live in, and I love … Continue reading →

Most of you probably saw a post from me this morning, but then I took it down. It was written really late last night, and when I re-read it this morning, I thought it sounded overly happy. Kind of made me want to barf a little. So down it came, and this post is its replacement. Basically the same content, just without the mega dose of crazy I was on yesterday. :) Upcoming travel plans Now that I’m back from vacation, I’ve already planned and (have somewhat) booked my next 3 trips: Las Vegas (work-related in July), San Francisco (trip … Continue reading →
