Sent home from work

Hey everybody, I got sent home from work on my first day. Not from incompetence, but because it was too cold. They closed the ski hill for the day for only the second time in 10yrs. It was -34C or so up there plus windchill so it was probably -40C.brrrrr. They sent home 90% of the people that worked there. It was -37C in town this morning. Yesterday I bought a neck warmer thingy that you can use like a scarf. Keeps cold out pretty well.
Handling switchboards is a tricky business. I didn't cut anyone off and didn't give anyone the wrong numbers (I think). Tomorrow will tell.
We have found a place to live. It is a 3 bedroom basement apartment that is already furnished. We will be living there with one of Els friends and possibly another guy from the ski hill. It looks ok and should be fine for the next 3 months.
Just have to find some sheets and stuff to put in it- Jasper has mainly touristy shops so we may have to really look around.
Got to go now and investigate the town for sheets and pillows.
