Workie Workie!!
Started work today!! This is where I will be working for the next 4 months. My office, CEI Architecture, is on the 5th floor and overlooks Stanley Park :)
My office has about 50 people and there's another Jennifer at CEI. This morning the receptionist showed me my desk and pointed out my nametag and said "I hope you're alright with going by Jenny, because the other Jennifer already goes by Jen." No one calls me Jenny, however she seemed pretty set on calling me Jenny - already had my nametag printed and everything. So when my boss came around he said "Jenny... you go by Jenny?" And I explained that the receptionist had given me that nickname because there was already a Jen in the office. He didn't agree with that, so that was quickly changed and my new nametag now says Jennifer Beggs.
This is the view as you walk out of my office building.
MOUNTAINS!!! And, what looks like a Disney cruise ship!
Met Edwina, a good friend (and one of my roommates from school) for dinner tonight. She's also working downtown Vancouver this summer. We went to Italian Kitchen for dinner. They had the hockey game on. Vancouver Canucks won 3-2. WOO!!!
And yes Adrienne, I have totally noticed all the bus LED "Go Canucks Go" signs :) It's pretty cute!
There's a lot of green initiatives (sustainability) in Vancouver. All of the supplies at my office (pens, paper pads, binders etc) are ALL reused and/or bought from green companies that recycle the materials. Most of the buses use electricity from wires above, and are so so quiet! The taxi's run on battery power and are also so very quiet!
There's Edwina in her bright yellow coat and me in my bright pink coat with MOUNTAINS in the back!
Shout out to Bethany and Will, and their new baby boy!! Congrats!! Love you guys <3
