Life on the road week #1 3/4/12

Fri, 04 May 2012 00:09:00 -0400

So it’s been a week since I’ve been in Trois-Rivières for work. It’s a nice challenge to bring up sales numbers in a in a store or region that I don’t know. I had been feeling a bit lonely but I decide to Channel that energy to focus on my number and really get work done.Ive been having awesome support from my boss and its good to feel appreciated for the hard work you put in. I always thought that it was an important thing to show respect and appreciation to your employees and it drives me to do eve better. At night I try to apply to a few more jobs so I can things rolling right after flower season. Montreal seams to become a clear choice for employment. Another nice thing is that I have been using my network more and more and I’ve been getting a lot of help from various people. Still having issues sleeping but once we get into the heavy times I’m sure I’ll be passing out early enough. I’m happy to have my buddy Cody back and seeing him do well at his store as well. Kid has been really under evaluate and I know when he put his heart to it, no one can slow him down. Happy dinner with Steph OD last weekend was really nice as well! Obviously we miss the crew from last year but we move on and get shit done. That’s how we do! Small sacrifice for a big pay off. Right now I just need to focus my energy on getting those numbers up and finding a freakin job for after the season. Or wait and see if I get accepted in my masters program in sports management in the fall. This experience is building a lot character and I will be abetter person coming out of it. “success and nothing less” Peace for now Dozzer

Flower season is a go

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 20:24:33 -0400

So since I couldn’t find any full time work that I’d be happy with I decided to go back to what I know best; sell flowers! Season is starting with a little road trip to Sherbrooke with Cody. Feels good to be back in the gardens but my attitude is different towards it this year. Hopefully I will find something for right after the season. Now am I back in Ottawa for a few days until I leave for trois-rivière next week. Life on the road!

So easter was pretty quiet I guess. Actually I partied again a bit too hard this weekend starting with thursday night at ritual for the red bull dj comp with Semple (way to many vodka red bull for the body), followed by unnecessary drinks with karl on friday to dinner drinks with dbayne (mmm ceasars) followed by a night in the market for PDouv bday. But I guess the most meaning full drinks i had all weekend was sunday night at the Harden residence. I had the opportunity to sit down and have diner with Bill and talked about everything and anything but mostly about work and a job. He was alone for diner since the boys are in england for a bachelor party. We watched the masters, had smoked meat for dinner and talked about how Hawkesbury needs to get their shit together. He made me realized that project management on the construction side was probably not for me and I should really focus my efforts towards the commercial development side of the business. So we are currently looking to see if theres anyway i could join the company in order to get experience and get a foot into the industry. Made me realize as well that I should not settle for a job that I am not passionate about. I have a big interview this wednesday for a sales position in montreal. but after that the plan stays the same : Flower life for the next 8 weeks starting april 20th and hopefully by then I will have an answer from Bill. It would be a dream for me to work for them as I have real estate in my blood and I passionate about it. Really hope this one works out for me.

I am getting tired of waiting but I think that the next few weeks will make things get more clear for me.

Stayed up late watching HBO 24/7 rangers-flyers… so good!

on my way home 2/04/12 11:42am (east coast time)

Been at the airport for a few hours now coming back from the east coast. was a great little trip since I’ve never been. Made me realize tho that I really need to work in a big metropolitan city. when people say ottawa has a small town feeling hell you,ve never been to halifax. Since ill be working in the country for my usual flower contract in a few weeks I will try to spend as much time in montreal as possible since im considering moving there in july. I think my odds of finding that fit for work will be better in Montreal. Plus I might get to move in with Kevin!

see where it leads

Just got back from Montreal for the HM case comp. my quiz team did very well and I was really proud of us. Few of our teams won 1st place and an underdog won second. This was the last tie I had with Telfer. Over the past few months it has been an adjustment period as well as a questioning period on “what’s next?”. I always had this comp on the back of my head when asking this question. Now it over. I’m really happy I got to be a part of it and organize everything with the committee leased by Gen. It was one last good party with my school friends. Since I turned 26 last week, it really hit me how big the age and maturity difference can be. It is time for me to move on. Few things are linking up this week and I could see a lot of changes coming my way. Was good to see PDouv’s family this weekend as well!

Now time to clean up, rest up, sober up and grab this week by the balls!

Proud of my delegation! #hm2012

Fresh start (12:45 am March 23)

I never really used this blog… Until 2 friends gave me this great idea. My friend Mattie who first got me into skiing years ago got this journal for Xmas and has been writing all of our stories in Tremblant every weekend (most of the time the entries are after the bar, drunk words sober thoughts) and made me realize that in a few years it will be great to look back at all those crazy weekends. Only problem is that I have the worst hand writing and sometimes I can’t even read what I wrote so the idea of writing in a dairy wasn’t that appealing for me and made me feel like a 7 year old girl. Then tonight I stumble on the blog of one of the most genuine guys I’ve met at Telfer, @martrivard ( allaboutmartin.tblr ) and his reason being his blog is for his grand kids to see what he was going thru when he was younger. So both these guys inspired me to keep this journal blog going. Since my smartphone is always on me it will be easy to keep track of what’s going on and in a few years it will be nice to look and and see how far I’ve grown. I turned 26 this week and. Now it’s time to turn things around for ol’ dozzer. I feel good about the future even if I have no clue what it holds for me, all I know is that everything will work out

So honestly feel free to comment, like, follow, un follow, criticize, love or hate! This one is for me to share with friends and anyone who is and will be part of this journey called life!

typowriter:

When I came back from South Korea, I told my dad that I would give him two years. Cancer eating at him and work becoming a matter of national importance, it was the least I could do. It was allI could. When you can’t do anything you start to feel a little useless.

And after a couple weeks of working under my father, after seeing how much he needed & appreciated my help, I realized I’d just do this as long as he could. Now that he can’t anymore, I cherish the last three months more than the last three years. And I had a camera to remember the silly things too.

I love you Dad!
