<p>Having oby working here has been interesting.  Examples:</p>
<p> </p>
<ul><li>Veep asking me who the hunk was that I was having lunch with.  Slightly cougarish and off-putting, still I have good genes and he apparently looks good in jeans (during Stampede)</li>
<li>Riding the bus with him and having him talk work issues... with passion.  This is my son?</li>
<li>Getting IM'd on work-related questions "Who do I speak to about application 'X'?"</li>
<li>Getting praise for his good work - TELL HIM dammit!  Still, it does make me proud FOR him.</li>
</ul><p> </p>

<p>Very cool.  Now refresh my memory, what did the other oby do for his summer?</p>

 

[Grizzly]

<p>He stayed in Victoria to do a summer course - next year he's having jaw surgery in the summer so he's likely to want a reduced course load for that next semester.  He tried to find work, but Victoria is a very tight job market.  The oby who is here applied for the job from Montreal...  and while Calgary isn't exactly boom town he did have a few other offers.</p>

<p>Good plan on the summer session.  In the three summers I was there, very few people stayed in town to work, most friends went tree planting or back to their hometowns to work.  A few had jobs through the school year, so they just picked up more hours, so unless you want to shout at people to ride a double decker bus or go on a whale watching tour it's a tough place to crack in the summer.</p>

<p>Sounds like a fun summer.  I never had a chance to intern or get a summer job at my Dad's workplace.</p>
