I am now officially an employee of the Inns of Banff, working in their something-or-other-grill. Booyah!
I also applied at a very nice fur shop on Banff Ave today. They pay $13 an hour, plus commissions and I didn't see anything in the store under $500. They seemed very interested and told me they would definately be calling me for an interview. Huh. Was it the very nice coat I was wearing or the fact that I rewrote my resume to emphasize my advertising sales background? Well, the restaurant job is mainly evenings... so maybe I could swing both jobs. I need money, but I don't want to burn out. We'll see.
The Inns of Banff have staff accomodation, but it's all full at the moment. I've been put on a waiting list. Til then, the hostel it is... But I kind of like it there, so whatever.
Last night I wound up in a deep philosophical discussion with a guy named Sam from the the UK, a guy named Bridge from Ottawa, and a guy named Jesse from Australia (Jesse I had previously met in the pub the night before). Sam and Bridge have travelled EVERYWHERE.
About Me

- “I’d like you to come mustering with me,” my boyfriend said. Until I met Jet, I can honestly say that mustering was not something I had seriously contemplated doing. This may, in part, have been due to the fact that I had never heard of it. The first time I heard the term was when Jet, having returned to Australia after romancing me in Canada, informed me that he would be out of touch for a week or so because he had to ‘muster the weaners.’ Further probing revealed that this had nothing to do with hotdogs -- except perhaps in the indirect sense -- but instead meant Jet was going to round up his young cattle and separate them from their mothers. Now, he was planning on going ‘up North’ to do more cattle work in an area of Australia that Google informed me was populated almost entirely by Aborigines and crocodiles. I agreed to come along, although not without some trepidation…

Congratulations Katie! Sounds like it'll be fun. Should we mail your xmas gift to banff or Rokoya's place still?
Well, it'd be cool if you could do both because they might balance each other out and keep you from getting bored with just one type of job, but you will be busy!! I think from what you've described of Banff so far it souds great and you've met lots of interesting people, which is cool.
That's brilliant, Katie. Glad to hear you got a job in Banff!
