Place 72 – Day 571: Vancouver, BC – Virtual Wine Tasting

Kim & Curtis Hale

We woke up at a good time and Curtis went out to our favourite breakfast place to get us the same as what we had (twice!) last weekend.

We ate that and then got ourselves ready for having a chat with Kim’s family. We had planned to have it as a games ‘night’, but we didn’t end up playing games, just chatting, which was nice. We actually started this an hour later than we thought it would be as the time changed to daylight savings here.

Once that call was done, we walked to the liquor store so Kim could get a wine for a virtual wine tasting she was having with some friends.

We got back home and Kim joined the call for the virtual wine tasting. She had a really good time and some really nice wine.

We used that wine to have with cheese for dinner, once Curtis was finished watching dinner and Kim got back from buying some things she needed.

Kim had a relaxing bath in the evening and then we watched some TV together as well as getting some laundry done.

This Time Last Year!

Place 72 – Day 546: Vancouver, BC – Virtual Dance Party!

Kim & Curtis Hale

Curtis’ Day

Curtis had just one meeting planned for the day, and that was right at 09:30 for a team catch up.

Once that was done, Curtis spent 1.5 hours getting a document together to provide some information to colleagues around the company. He felt the document was good and should help a lot of people in the future!

After that, he did some tickets and also reached out to Microsoft to see if they could assist with removing a feature from some software.

Post lunch, Curtis had to do some more tickets but also review a document that a colleague had made and see if there was anything to change or add.

Kim’s Day

After getting a few things done in the morning Kim joined a meeting to review some quotes that had been sent in. She then worked on a few documents before meeting her colleague to collect a laptop from them.

At midday Kim joined a meeting with her manager to go over a few of the projects, get up to speed on a few things and ask a few questions. She went straight from this meeting into a webinar about remote working. It was so interesting!

Kim then hosted a dance off which ended up being a mini lesson on the night fever dance followed by a few people watching the clip from the movie and dancing along. It was so much fun and a great little wellness break! They also discussed the other wellness activities that have been going on and people asked for another games night. Kim was shocked! So she sent out the invites for the next few wellness things and the Friday games night.

After lunch Kim had a chat with her teammate to go over a few things they are working on together and then she had a call with another colleague to catch up on a few things.

For the rest of the afternoon and into the evening Kim finished a few admin tasks and then worked on contracts and job descriptions.

Evening

Curtis watched hockey after work whilst Kim did some more work.

Once hockey was done, Kim made some sweet chilli potato wedges and we ate those and watched some TV.

We watched more TV and played some card games for the remainder of the day.

Place 72 – Day 301: Vancouver, BC – Virtual Pole Competition

Kim & Curtis Hale

Virtual Pole Competition

We got up and had some serial for breakfast and watched more standup comedy for a little bit.

We then got ready for the day and Kim sat down to watch a virtual pole competition, featuring some people she trains with!

This lasted for a few hours, so Curtis used that time to play some games.

After the event was done, we had some leftover chili from a few days ago.

During and after dinner, we watched all of the remaining episodes of Schitts Creek and then watched the documentary they made afterwards.

We looked at some houses in Norway for fun and then watched a bit more TV for the rest of the evening.

Place 72 – Day 260: Vancouver, BC – Virtual Apartment Tour

Kim & Curtis Hale

Virtual Apartment Tour

We had a quick breakfast and then got ready for the day.

At 12:30, we had a virtual apartment tour with a really nice apartment.

This is done so that people can see if they’re interested and therefore limiting physical contact and people going outside, which is great.

We really liked the look and location of the apartment, so we are going to go and see it in person.

We finished up with that tour and then relaxed for a while.

We were meant to have an in person apartment viewing at 15:30, at least that is what we thought, but then at 1:20 the realtor told us he was no longer able to do it, but it was at 15:00! We felt very silly, but we have been able to reschedule.

We did very little for the rest of the day, just playing games, watching TV and having a couple of epic mini sticks battles!

We finished the night with our dinner, fajitas, and then cookies.

We watched the movie I, Tonya in the late evening.
