Me: Roberto, Brad scored more goals in soccer than your entire team that year.
Blair: I scored more than his entire team in one game.
Well, it's been a crazy last week. Not even a week ago I was still working at the AV Times and staying in Port Alberni, and now I've got one shift at the Prince George Citizen under my belt. Things are running smoothly and for the first day I'm fitting in quite nicely. It doesn't hurt that I know the city well having lived here the majority of my life. It is still quite different than what I'm used to in some ways. A bigger paper means a bigger editorial department (Enough reporters, editors and photographers to add to about 15). The overall staff is also much bigger than the AV Times and it will take me a while before I know each person's name. Also the filing system is much different. Rather than saving my completed stories under a reporter story folder under the editorial file, I'm sending my stories to a city file where the news editor edits the copy before they go to print. It'll also be an adjustment doing strickly reporting with, for the most part, a limited amount of photo-taking (The Citizen has two photographers who take care of most photos).
Wednesday night I spent with some of the AV Times staff at the Westwind Pub for dinner and a couple drinks before it was off back to my motel room to pack up for the next days move - from Port Alberni to Kamloops.
After a long day of travelling Thursday, I went to All You Can Eat Wings at Sgt. O'Flahertys. I had 30 wings, as did Dale. Carlos had about 26, but nobody could eat as many as Auren, who had 38. Tara didn't keep track because she figures it's just as good to say she had about 26 or whatever when she didn't know the actual number After Wings it was time to prepare for 20 for 20 at Magnum's.
After staying in Kamloops one more day, it was off to Prince George, and boy what a trip. The weather was horrible, with rain coming down the whole way, but not as bad as the next morning. It actually snowed a bit the next morning before it turned into rain. On Saturday night I went to Earl's where I noticed some guy passed out with the menu on his lap and half filled glass of wine on the table. It was a crazy scene.
