Hello to all the Fisheye readers out there. Yesterday was my first day on the job as the new Redpath Acts of Sweetness Ambassador. And by that of course I mean that I am the lucky person who gets to give out free hot chocolate, cookies, cakes and anything else Redpath’s sugar can be used to make at events around the GTA, all while documenting it to share with the internet community.
Upon arrival yesterday I was immediately handed a MacBook and an iPhone – which is something I’ve always been curious about but never had the chance to experience until today as Rogers phone plans were never in my price range (in fact I never had a cell phone plan until Koodo arrived with their obnoxious advertisements and lovely no contract plans) – and a list of things to familiarize myself with. After playing around with the iPhone I can safely say I now understand why everyone is so crazy about them. Convenient doesn’t even begin to cover it. I think I’m in love with this palm sized piece of plastic. Sad? Maybe, but I’m a deprived college grad who was set free into a world of “recessionistas.”
My second day in this beautiful Kensington Market office is about to wrap up and I am curious to see what comes next. The agenda says trial runs in the vehicle, uniform shopping, Redpath Sugar Museum tour, and a trip to the Harbourfest Skating Party on Saturday. And that is just the first week – fisheye is a great place to be.
That said, as the new girl here I hope I can bring to this blog something of value to you readers and not detract from the great writing Geoff already does. If you’re reading this you should probably follow Acts of Sweetness on Twitter and Flickr. Along with my work here at fisheye I also have a personal blog which you can read here and you can follow me on Twitter here. You can also email me directly at lisa@actsofsweetness.com.
That’s all for now.
