Mon. Feb 13 - Work was alright, I've been working the front and the back about equal. We have a bunch of ships coming in this week so everything has been crazy trying to create trips for them with ITT. I was told that we might have snowboarding trips going Tues-Fri this week. Luckily, by the end of the day, they had only booked ones for Wed and Fri. I didn't want to work on getting the snowboards ready for our Create-A-Trip for Wednesday since I didn't know about Tuesday yet. I worked with Leslie a bunch at the front counter b/c we were pretty much there all day by ourselves. I booked a few more reservations for Calabria so that trip is definitely going. Leah, the girl who is going to escort it is still deciding whether or not she's going to go. If she doesn't find a babysitter, I get to escort it and get it fully paid. If not, I'll just tag along, learn how to be the escort and just pay like a hundred euro. Not bad for a 4 day weekend. It was really quiet around the office, a few employees didn't show up for work today. It was fine though, I got to hang out with Leslie. Kim stopped in for a few minutes today, but she's officially done with work. After work I headed to the library to check some email. I saw Kim and we hung out there til it closed. I got her email address and all that. She told me we're gonna have a going-away dinner on Thursday with everybody. That should be pretty fun. I went to my room and watched the Olympics and the Biggest Loser Finale. I think it's pretty old though.
Tues. Feb 14 - Happy Valentine's Day! Work was cheerful today and everyone was in a really good mood. I signed up 2 more people for the trip and Leah decided that her and her husband are going to go. It was fine, Amber told me that we could share a room and Leslie figured out the price we had to pay. It only came out to $130 US Dollars. She just took out the charges for the single room (now we have a double) and the transportation and hidden costs. That was cool, I already paid for it. We're all really excited. It should be a really fun trip because I know almost 60% of the people that are going. They've all been on past snowboarding trips or other trips I've escorted. I've heard its a quiet little place with nothing in the town but this one ski resort. There's 2 courses and lifts. We'll be playing a lot of cards and stuff like that at night. I'm excited because the courses are pretty simple and I'll be able to practice my "moves." Since now snowboards were needed, I went ahead and got all of them ready for tomorrow. It took awhile since the boards hadn't been waxed and repaired in two weeks. I waxed the 8 boards we needed just to be able to get that batch looking better. I also got my board ready and I spent some time on sharpening the back-edge. I have to take it home with me because I was told today that I get to escort a 50-passenger van of sailors (USS Land and Toledo) up to Etna for the day tomorrow. That'll be awesome, I'm kinda nervous. Leslie told me I can snowboard even though none of the sailors wanted to. They can ski and sled if they want when they get up there. Some of the sailors were already on base and wanted to go to the skatepark. That thing is getting used a lot, its awesome. I made some last minute park passes for them and we closed up shop. I loaded the van for the trip tomorrow (not mine) and brought my board home with me cuz I have to be out in the front waiting for the bus at 7am to ride to Augusta Bay and pick up my peeps. I watched some more snowboarding and saw the USA dominate in the halfpipe (men and women). That was fun to see. I rented a movie called Red Eye and watched that after I finally figured out how to plug in my DVD player in the room. It was really good, you should check it out. I hadnt even ever heard of it in the states before I got here. I've got a busy day tomorrow ahead of me, so I'll talk to you all later.
