Hey all!
Do not worry. The earthquake/tsunami actually hit the south island. We too heard about the fiasco on the radio, but did not experience it ourselves.
On another note, it looks like the management at "The Park" where we live, and where Jon works, wants him to start doing more work in the kitchen and at the bar. (This is not including the night-manager work he has already started doing.) I think that will be a nice change for him, since those will both be jobs involving customers and creativity. Not bad. Plus, that's two more things you can put on a resume in case of need. He's getting a lot of experience from this job. We are starting to like Jason (the guy who originally told us to go find work for Jon elsewhere) a lot more. He has gone from absolute douche to quite a nice guy. A nice metamorphosis to undergo.
Not much happened today. Work was uneventful. I am going to start asking for more ski breaks. I heard the snow today was just awesome. Even the sun came out for a little bit!
But today is payday, so there are lots of parties happening. I will be going to the one being hosted by some guys from Rentals. This is the first time i am going to let myself be seen to them in a socializing setting, so I'm a bit nervous. Man, first impressions scare me. Maybe because they are so important in shaping your relationships with people... Jon will be coming with me of course, but I have a feeling he won't be staying long because he is feeling a bit sick.
Off to have a good time! You guys should comment on our posts and let us know how you're doing. I haven't heard from people in a long time!

Haha I like the bit about first impressions. Although I think the part about Jason's metamorphosis is in ironic juxtaposition and should be a bit of a comfort - you can make a hopeless first impression, but anyone worth being friends with will be willing to give you a few more chances. And, more likely than not, they'll respect you for making a change and be pleasantly surprised at your unguarded personality. I think you can use the permanence of a first impression to your advantage...should you ever need to. But I doubt that.
