We went to the Hockey!!

I saw my first game of ice hockey last night... Vancouver Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks with the Canucks winning 3-1. It was very fast... even from a long way a way it was sometimes hard to keep up with the puck. Besides the actual hockey, the whole hockey experience was enjoyable if not a little over the top, almost theatrical reminding me of what I imagine the Coloseums of ancient Rome with the gladiators could have been like. We managed to sneak in a few packets of M&M's and some pringles ( mmmmm) while ditching the drinks due to bag checks. Fun experience.

Other news is that I've been shifted from being a contract worker to full time employment which means I get all the benefits along with a slight raise in pay, it also means I can work towards staying in the country as a worker now, being able to fill in extending my working visa forms and applying for permanent residency. The bonus part was also getting the hockey tickets to the afore mentioned game. It's good. I'm really enjoying the work I'm doing with QuestAir and my effort is noticed and appreciated which is good. Hopefully the extended work visa works out and I can stay here beyond March.
