Snow ploughs, flags & jig saw puzzles

I was up north at camp this weekend for the last weekend of Fall rec staff, it was a long, fun but tiring weekend. The weather/roads were really bad. I left the office in Toronto at 4.45 and arrived at 11.30pm most the way we were behind snow ploughs which is not a bad thing considering the snow storm that we were driving through!

One thing to note from this weekend was on our last night we decided it would be a good idea to prank the general manager. So at 2am in the middle of a snow storm we walked down to the flag pole and took down the Canadian flag and put up the Northern Ireland flag and put the Canadian flag in Don’s pigeon hole. Was good banter the next day, However I was told today that the cable ties we used to put the Canadian flag back up snapped so I’m sure when I see Don tomorrow at our staff retreat I will take some abuse!

Here’s to “This is Rachel, she’s from Northern Ireland and she got the job your boyfriend applied for!”, “Surely in a mini van you would just sit up to get attention!”, to getting my Blackberry, “should be fine”, Cleaning up Hazelwood, convincing Joel that Quizno's is a clean place to eat, “is this the stuff that tastes like candy?”... “Its water!”, to playing settlers with constant accent abuse!, going for the last Bent River dinner for a while, “Did someone say there was vomit? No they said they were GOING to vomit”, to Second cup choco mint chillers, “ No no… its either black or its white” “oh I just wrote on my forehead!”, Staying up until 3.30am to finish a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle to find my next secret angel clue, convincing Alice and Arlene to walk up to golf at 3.30am to get the next clue, to Alice and Arlene freaking out walking up to golf and to the Irish contingency.
