New Job Celebration Ride

I went for a motorcycle ride to celebrate my conditional new job confirmation. Security check is done but they are still waiting to hear back from some of my references. It was a cool overcast day and it started raining when I got to Richmond. However, I managed to get my first helmet video camera recording along River Road which I am uploading to YouTube. I celebrated with a Hot Dog with Coke and Chicken Teriyaki Rice at Costco.

Just sitting around browsing around YouTube, Facebook and updating my blogs. Need to go out and run some errands. Feeling lazy, hazy and stress free. I will have to work everyday soon so might as well enjoy my freedom for now.

Offer & KFC

Drive towards Vancouver Chinatown

Went into CIBC to accept job offer and fill out lots of paperwork. I start work on Feb09/09. I celebrated by picking up my late lunch/early dinner at KFC. Today is Twoonie Tuesday. I added an extra piece of chicken and a Pepsi. It was delicious!

Jericho, Interview, Offer

Feather along Jericho Beach Walk

Went for a nice walk after my 3rd interview at CIBC. I now have a better understanding of their organization and their needs. I felt good after the meeting and was hopeful. I grabbed a nice late lunch at Harvey's and then went for a nice chilly walk along Jericho Beach. I saw this feather on the ground and took this photo. I think this is a good sign. CIBC called me to offer me the job. I was so happy! Thank God. I am so grateful for everything. I want to do my best for CIBC and contribute positively to their growing organization.

New Westminster Quayew

Sunset along New Westminster Quay

Went for a nice walk along New Westminster Quay. Took a lot of photos and videos along the way. My hands were freezing! Luckily it was sunny and kept my spirits up. Many people were also taking their walks. This is one of my favourite places to walk.

Beautiful Sunny Chilly SunDay

It's a beautiful sunny chilly day. Debating whether to go out for a nice walk or stay home and prepare for my 3rd and final interview at CIBC tomorrow.

Sleep In, Relax and Enjoy

Job Interview, Fat Burger, Stanley Park

Stanley Park Seawall

Went for a nice walk around part of Stanley Park Seawall after my job interview and a Fat Burger combo lunch. It was a beautiful sunny day. The smell of the ocean and the incoming tide made me feel alive. During the walk, CIBC invited me back for a third and final interview on Monday. Wish me luck.
