Holding Pattern
So… as expected I received an offer from the hotel in Grande Prairie an offer that I am willing to accept, except for one small problem: accommodation. Now for those of you who do not know Grande Prairie like many places in northern Alberta ‘red-hot’ in economic terms and housing is at a premium.
I can’t find accommodation, and the GM at the property has been looking for a place for me for several days, but so far has come up dry, which means I’ve been in a holding pattern for a little under a week… and I’m not liking it. With the prospect of being elsewhere on my mind almost constantly (and the immediate start) my mind hasn’t been entirely here, where it should be.
The GM was supposed to call me yesterday, but that didn’t happen… nor did they call today. Which means I’ll call tomorrow morning and settle it one way or the other so that I either move, or move on to other options – rather than sitting here with my ‘thumb up my ass’ waiting.
Halloween tomorrow is also a DJ night here in Kananaskis and with gaming cancelled on account of it being Halloween, and I’m likely going to stay here for a few of my days off. I’ve recently starting gaming here with a few people and I think I’ll be able to move them slowly off the hack & slash bandwagon and into more in-depth role-playing… it’ll be tough, but I’ve always liked a challenge and the next probable night is Tuesday, which means I’ll likely only be up Wednesday and Thursday (assuming of course that I don’t suddenly move to Grande Prairie).
