"My quiet Mountain Town"

It is Banff's "slow season" at the moment. While the place is now packed with tourists, it is apparently even busier in the summer. While I was getting my hair cut today I was told that the town thrives on tourism pretty much 11 months of the year. (The slow month being November when the summer folk have gone home and the skiiers are yet to arrive). It was a long overdue haircut but one that was necessary to help aid gaining employment.

It was important that the first thing I do was look for work. I was told that finding work would not be a problem. Instead, the concern should be acquiring accommodation. I went down to the job centre and drew up my resume. There are a lot of things to consider when looking for employment which I wont go in to as it will only bore you. Short of the story is, it's not the greatest of ideas to get work on the mountain - its poorly paid. Anyways, I took my resume to Macca's. It's known as the best paid hospitality gig in town and also comes with cheap accommodation. I decided to go back and bug them today (as I hadnt heard from them for 24 hours and it was with them I was resting my hopes). So today I got my interview, my orientation and tomorrow I start at the same place that gave me my first employment experince - some 14 years ago. Im garunteed 40 hours a week, and I get 2 days a week off work, and I can choose my hours. Soon I will move out of the hostel and into the McDonald's house!

The haircut is crap!
