So bad news - we dont have a house. We have 5 days to find one.
Good news - I may have a job. A pretty sweet job actually. Had an interview today with sharp shooters. They take photos of people up the mountain and then sell them that afternoon to the people. So social security number dependant ( which should be no worries) i am employed. The best thing - I get to spend every day im working up the mountain. AND i get a free ski pass after working with them for 30 days ( which would cost me US$580). So stoked. Its all commisions based (first two weeks is paid training however). I get 15% from what i sell. So a job is better than no job aye. Ill see how i go. hopefully i can get my sweet talking on and sell a bunch of photos.
Tim and Alex are still looking for jobs. The two kiwis we met on the way over also got jobs with me. Lachlans still working at the ski shop. Oh and another advantage of my job - for the next week theres sales on... every store in vail hooks up 35% discount. Loving life.
Anyways hopefully the house gets sorted. We met 8 south africans who want to share a house and are also looking. It should sort itself out. Hopefully before we have to leave the timeshare on friday.
Life is good.
