It has been a couple of days since New Years here in Canada and for those of you in Australia you guys are back to work.
New Years here has been pretty low key – the rest of the house was working through midnight and from what I hear everyone has made a stack of money so nobody is complaining about the sacrifice.
For my New Years I tagged along with a friend of mine who ownes a business in town here. His wife had some of her younger siblings in town – 2 guys, one 24yo and the other 28yo. They are kewl guys but they are a little too snobbly for me. They were trying to be big shots buying rounds of shots at our table (of which there were well over 10 people at – I saw one shot round costing CAD$160!!!!
I didn’t have any of the shots – I figured that if I drank any then I would be expected to buy a round and there were a few too many free loaders handing on and I had drank a lot before I came out. The New Years count down was a bit of a non-event since I didn’t have a cute guy to kiss. Our table had lots of great toasts and the night was good fun. I think I was in bed by 2pm and I heard Will get in a fair bit later.
The other housemantes – Will had been talked into babysitting someones kids and got home around 6am BUT they paided him $300 which is nearly as much as he makes in a week. Sam had got Henry to work with her and they had both made a tonne of money and Amy and Julie had both gotten babysitting jobs and didn’t complain about having to work New Years at all.
I’m heading down to town tomorrow with Julie who has rented a car to pick up her parents who are here for the week. I’ve got a feeling that Julie is going to pass me off to her parents as her boyfriend. Her parents don’t approve of her being a ski instructor and they want her to get an office job in London. Julie knows about my sites and what I do and she thinks I’m some kind of entrepreneur (I had to look that up in order to spell it). Her parents aren’t staying with us (her Dad was a pilot for British Airways and owned 2 AMAZING condos here in the resort and they are staying in one of them). I have to admit that I’m a little scared of what Julie might pull in ‘claiming’ me but I’ll play it cool.
OK guys – it is nearly midnight here and I’m writing this in bed so I’m outta here.
