so much for the late night snacks

So today started just as the last 3 mornings,early. Shauna was up at 330 and couldn't get back to sleep. I on the other hand was sleeping quite easily. By 7 I was out of bed and down stairs for our complimentary breakfast. After eating as much as I could, I decided to plan for my late night snack. I'm not sure if it was the fact that I was filling a tupperware dish with peaches, or if it was that I had been down in the area for half an hour, but the lady that takes care of everything down in the kitchen area was on to me. So much for the late night snacks.

After the morning excitement, we ended up downtown. It was pretty close to where Shauna's meeting for work was. We found the place just in time after a bit of confusion with the public transit. It never fails though, the system may be confusing but if we figure how it works I'm certain there isn't anywhere in this city that we can't get to.

The meeting went real well. Shauna is feeling a lot better about having a job after actually meeting with some people face to face. They say that she may be able to start work this week!!

I guess this means that I need to start getting myself some work. I looked yesterday morning on line and it appears that there is a lot of construction work in this city as of right now. There seems to be one company that dominates the industry- HAYS Construction. I think I will work on my resume this morning and see if maybe they will hire a Canadian Carpenter. My dreams of becoming a travel guide are slowly slipping away, the construction industry is so busy right now that the wages they are paying are to good to just ignore.

Our hunt for a permanent location goes on. We were certain that we found the perfect building to live in on Sunday morning. After emailing the fella that we really liked the building and area,he responded with "great then, the apartment is yours. Just wire me $2400 and we will send you the key."

Now I'm not a detective or anything, but when a man asks you to wire money for an apartment

and we haven't seen the inside of, or have any proof that he even owns it, no keys or anything like this, it kinda throws a RED flag. This was pretty sure indicator that he was trying to scam us out of $2400. We emailed him back and asked if we could see the inside of the apartment-we haven't heard back,and don't expect to. As we walked down to Borders last night,(the biggest book store I've been in),we talked about how we really do like this area that we are in right now, the more we get out and discover it, the more we think and say "We could live here." So I think we may try using a real estate agent to find us a spot. I guess that's who does a lot of the leasing in this area for the Landlords.

Now it's breakfast time, we are going to revisit the breakfast area. Steph and Will are suppose to meet us down there. I guess they booked a room here in the same hostel last night. I am just hoping they have a different lady working this morning that deals with the peaches.
