Curtis’ Day
Curtis’ day was completely non-stop and he was able to do something all the time, which was great for him.
At lunch time, there was an office pot luck to support pride!
There was a crazy amount of food and noone went hungry, that’s for sure!
It was a nice time for Curtis to mingle and chat with his colleagues but he had a lot to do so he had to go back to his deal and sort it out.
Curtis received a package of Apple Mac laptops which he started to configure, but then the CEO had issues with his laptop so he spent the last hour of his day fixing that.
Kim’s Day
In the morning Kim organised some invoices and sent some emails before heading down to one of the hotels to have a little coffee catch up.
The ‘little’ coffee catch up ended up a bit of a longer chat than little, but it was great to talk over some things and get a better understanding of the hotel.
When she got back to the office Kim helped set up the lunch and learn. This meant organising the kitchen to have a seating and presenting area. There was a little 45 minute break in the set up so Kim was at her desk catching up on a few smaller things that needed to be orgnaised. Then it was back to setting up chairs and then when the pizza arrived, laying that out in a way that made it easy to have it picked up and people sat down quickly.
The lunch and learn today was about inclusivity and diversity, specifically for the LBGTQ2S+ community. It means so much to Kim to live in a city that is so inclusive and does feel so accepting and safe for all. It is even more amazing to work for a company that promotes a safe environment and provides education in the workplace. About a year ago there was another talk that went over pronouns and the spectrums of gender identity and gender expression. The talk this year focused more on key moments in Canadian / North American history that have carved the community into what it is now. It was such a great talk that had such a wonderful turnout.
At the end, Kim flipped the kitchen back to its original state and cleared away all the empty pizza boxes.
In the afternoon Kim had orgnaised some time with her colleague in IT to discuss their project that had taken a back seat for the past few weeks. It was great to bring it back to the front and get the ball rolling again!
After the meeting Kim organised some notes for the following day, made a call to FedEx and then headed home!
Admin & Games
We didn’t do a huge amount in the evening, but Curtis played some games and Kim had to run up to the supermarket as well as got some admin done.
We watched the last two episodes (ever!) of Jane The Virgin and then went to sleep. Tomorrow is Friday!
