This morning I &#8216;chambermaided&#8217; for a few hours, which I&#8217;ll confess was the last thing I wanted to do (and still is), but it was okay seeing as management is not uptight in the least (ie. no one was standing over me with a stopwatch and a quarter to make sure that a) I made the beds in a prescribed time frame and b) that the sheets were tight enough! \ud83d\ude00 ).<\/p>\n<p>After, I got to tool around the grounds on a golf cart to see where everything is. This was quite fun seeing as I haven&#8217;t driven a golf cart in five years and have never driven a gas-powered one.<\/p>\n<p>I then spent the afternoon working mostly from home on some government-related paperwork that my resum\u00e9 implied I&#8217;d be perfect for.<\/p>\n<p>It promises to be an interesting hodgepodge of duties!<\/p>\n<p>Even though I&#8217;ll be working full-time hours, I&#8217;m going to look for something else, either in the early mornings or late evenings. I need to take in as much work as I possibly can if I want to get to Inuvik.<\/p>\n<p>It starts to get torrid around here at about three and doesn&#8217;t get better till about eight, so I&#8217;d like for that to be my &#8216;go home and crash&#8217; time and to work when it&#8217;s cool. As it is, the lack of night starting to affect my sleep cycle and I find myself napping more than actually sleeping so I&#8217;m actually not afraid, for once in my life, of early morning work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m workamping yet again!
