I awoke to about two feet of very wet, heavy snow!!! By the time I got the car cleared and loaded with fliers I was already exhausted!

The first two routes took forever and my feet and jeans were soaking wet by the end.  I kicked myself for going out in sneakers when I have hiking boots capable of fording rivers while keeping my tootsies warm and dry! But it wasn’t entirely unpleasant; it was sunny, warm, and the wind wasn’t too nasty.

I came in at two, changed, and had a big lunch. I’m waiting for a call and then I will go out to do two more routes. I’ll do my last two tonight or later tomorrow.

Jody says this should be the last of the deep snow, but to expect a couple more falls of a few inches. I can handle that, especially what with there being SUN frequently in Alberta in April!

I wore a hole through a brand new sock today delivering fliers! It was my first day doing all six routes. Even though I have two days to deliver each batch, I’d really rather not have to go out four days of the week to do this job. Getting it all done took six hours, including a very brief lunch break to inhale an entire container of hummus (with a few crackers). I’m pretty sure I can knock at least a half hour off that figure on Thursday.

It’s really an absurd amount of time and work for the pay, but it’s good to be out walking in the sun after so many grey months sitting at a computer. We had great weather today and much as I would have liked to have been working on my rig, low income is better than no income! Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy in the afternoon, so I’m glad I stuck with the job and got it done.

I’m still sending out resumes in scary quantities and keep reminding myself I’ve only been here a week and a half! It feels like so much longer. I have an interview with a placement agency on Friday so, who knows, something may give and I’ll end up trading my sunny walks for an office…
