One of the perks of my job is to spend an hour interviewing one on one a fair number of high-profile athletes...for Canada anyways. I've done captains of NHL teams, some of the most famous curlers in the world (that don't look like me), and this morning an NFL quarterback. It's fun, but it's also really demystifying. They're just regular Joes and Janes. I do my best to set their minds at ease, but very few of them aren't actually nervous going into the interview, particularly if I'm not asking them specific questions about the game they just played or the sport in general. If I can get a good laugh out of them, that helps a lot.

Wearing shorts outside for the first time this year! Woo!
Hmm, I may have overestimated how warm it is. Should've at least worn a jacket for the bike ride into work. Brrrr!

Grandmother's funeral went well. All the adults behaved themselves. That should be under Epic Win, actually. Got a good ol Okie tornado just NE of us as well. Yee haw.
It was cold out!
We live so far apart, for being on the same continent. It’s was 32°C here today, humidity around 75%.
My lil veg garden is doing very well. We have two kinds of lettuce, which have yielded about 3 family-sized salads a week, arugula, bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, cilantro, jalapeños, and strawberry.
The zucchini is making fruit right now and should be able to harvest by the weekend.
I am very happy with the results. I will post some pics when I get a chance.

I made four mobile phone sales today and wound up at the top of today's list of employees for mobile sales (I'm in Billing and even beat out every Sales team member).
That's about $50 commission alone on a future paycheque, in addition to whatever other commission I get for this month.
It's not a LOT in the long run, but it's a good sale day for me and it'll make my manager happy.
I think this further cements my chances of winning another award later this year.

Just a friendly reminder to be writing these things down for resume purposes or at very least for review time.
