How is this my job?
Okay, guys, so this is what I did at work today:
-Spent the morning in Mellon Farm, which is considered an "A" location at Fort Edmonton Park: AKA there should (in theory) be someone in there most of the time. I spent my morning talking with people (of course) and practicing the flute. I actually picked up my flute for the first time in five years last week. I played it for over eight years before that, but it fell by the wayside while I was doing my undergraduate degree. I know, I know: no excuses! Still, I have rediscovered my nascent flute playing skills and in essence I got paid to practice and entertain folks. I played a lot of traditional Irish songs, plus some Bach and Mozart.
-For most of the afternoon - at least two, maybe three hours - I drove around in a Ford Model A. I would drive around, honk and wave at people in my cute little cloche hat, park and chat to people about historical cars and the history of cars and motorways, and give people rides up and down the street. It has occurred to me that I have less than two weeks of work at Fort Edmonton Park left, and I really need to make the most of it! I love that little car. This was me, today, but in a different outfit:
This is one of the coolest summer jobs ever. Hands down.
In other news: 16 days to go until I move to Ottawa!
