Working Girl

 Well Hello there Blogger Land,

There are so many things in my life, this life that I have never taken for granted, but the fact that I get to wake yo Monday to Friday and go to work. Yes, WORK! So I have gone from not working for about 15 years, due to my health to working full time. And I love every single minute of it. It has been such a long time since I have been able to work, that I almost thought I was too old. 

So, tell me... When you have been out of work for so long and you go back into the work world would you think I was impossible? I did! I didn't think I was going to adapt well to the new change. But it's like my physio used to be, structured at the same time every day. Granted I didn't always do my physio, but I love going to work, knowing what I have to do each day, knowing that I have a certain set of customers that are my responsibility. It's amazing.

So the company I work for have a couple divisions, and I work in the Building Products or Wood Coating division. It's amazing to learn all the different aspects in our division. I love that I can work somewhere and be proud to wear my company's logo on my back. They know my medical background and understand that sometimes I have stuff going on.

Okay, I want to tell you, but maybe if I post this photo, that maybe you can put it together.

This is one division of my team, RACING!

Sometimes, I think I would like to dabble in the Racing division, just to be able to see and learn the proper techniques for spraying cars. WOW the possibilities are endless with this company. I had never really been a NASCAR fan until I started working here. I will only watch the races that William Byron is racing in, so I can act like a mega fan, only because it's my company who provides the paint to make this car beautiful.

If you can figure out who the company is, then you, dear reader, are better at this game than I thought. Fast cars, good health and a company I am so proud to work for. Things are rolling. 

But Ali, what about your Fire dreams?

Well, I am still interested in this, greatly, I have just realized that at this point in time, I am just not strong enough physically for this chapter in my life. So I will study. Many aspects of Fire don't include me carrying about 100 pounds of gear, and maybe 50 pounds instead. Wearing the Turnouts would be great, but Halligan weights as much as I do, if not the Halligan the jaws and stuff definitely do/ haha

Oooooh imagine a Fire sprayed on a car...

Have a splendiferous day my friends.

 FEBRUARY 2024

Picture it...

Toronto February 2009

OK, maybe not so much this month.

But look at those dates, I have been living, laughing and loving life for the last 15 years, living like it's 1999. lol

 

 

Are you there God, it's me Alison

Hopefully there is no copyright infringement in my Title this week. hehe ugh

Can you believe that we are already into February? This is a big month for me. Actually it's a big year for me.

Let the countdown begin!

Dear February,

As you know, we have some pretty exciting things happening this month. For instance, on this day 14 years ago, I spent the month of February volunteering with the Vancouver Winter Olympics. I should re-visit those posts, or maybe my readers can. If they are still out there. Today would have marked my 5th day in Vancouver I think. What a month that was. The city was electric my friends.

But, that wasn't the only excitement that happened this month. 

In 2 weeks, well 12 days, I will be posting the  most EPIC, okay I shouldn't say EPIC with such distinction. lol 

It will be amazing though. It's a big year. Not just a leap year, but a big year for me too. bahaha

STAY TUNED!!!!
