Comfortable Red Sweatpants

This day finally ended…today was my last day at Riverbend and at working for McDonald’s. I actually dreaded this day. I think mostly because it pretty much finalizes everything. Ty and Bryan were still hoping that I was going to change my mind. A part of me was wanting to stay as it’s always the easier choice, but then again, a good chunk of me was all for welcoming this unexpected opportunity and a chance for change. To some, they think I am running away from something that is apparently  good for me. I am walking away from a promotion and a good chance at a career at McDonald’s. But who are they to say I can’t make it at Fairmont?

I am officially scared and excited and just ready to go. I am really hoping I made the right decision. As Ty puts it, no regrets. I do feel a bit sad for leaving Bryan in a ditch but then again, somedays, you have to step up and think about yourself. Bryan is a big guy and he can handle it. I will miss the guy though…hahaha.

Overall, it has been an awesome 6 years. I worked at 4 different locations, moved my way up the ladder as much as I can go, been taken to concerts, trips to Vancouver and Jasper, met and worked with awesome and not so awesome people, been able to build friendships and basically gained a lot of memorable experiences. I am grateful for everything, good and bad, and will take them all with me as I start anew. It all began as just a means to gain "Canadian" work experience and what I have gained is so much more and for that I am always going to be thankful for.

Kristi, Court, Jason, Andrew, Carm, Heidi, Linda, Michelle, Amy, Ernest, Aisa, Jen, Harman, Mother Darshan, Augusto, Bryan, Ty and to everyone I’ve worked with, it has been quite the trip. Thanks for everything! Am a dork, but true enough, I did love it…bada bada ba…
