Some days things don't work out, today was one of those. Much time spent applying for a job, hanging around for an interview, hanging around a bit longer, and a bit longer and finding out the position had been filled. Cue fixed polite smile and walk home, feeling more irritated by not really wanting the job and wasting time than anything else.

Everyone I've met who is new to Vancouver has a collection of similar stories.

Still, means we're free next week to find adventure and scare ourselves with more bear stories!
