Season kicks in.
As is usual this time of year, business has been
gradually picking up as seasonnaires drift into town.
As is usual this time of year, business has been
gradually picking up as seasonnaires drift into town. With Televerbier only
opening the lifts on the weekends, there has been little incentive for punters
to come up during the week, which is a bit of a shame as many people, employed
during the weekend and whose days off are during the week, would have otherwise
come up during the week. On the local front, however, we have seen the arrival
of season workers and, of course, the British army boys. Weekends, on the other
hand, have been particularly good, and we have to congratulate the new staff for
their performance last night
(Saturday).
Our Internet service has been particularly successful these last two weeks, especially as we are the only place that allows people to print. So with an exceptionally high number of people seeking work, we have been busy printing off CVs, with many others coming in using the WiFi service to connect to the Great Wide World.
On the staff side, Selina has decided not to come back after all, so we instead hired a couple of Swedish girls, both of whom have decent French. We couldn't decide between the two, so instead we hired both part-time. After a week of working with us, one preferred to leave in favour of a full-time job at the Farm Club, as she needed the money. We have replaced her with Alan's student daughter who also needs some extra cash. So this winter's team is composed for Alan, George, and Silvia as per the summer team, with newbies part-timer Sara, ex-fireman Jamie, art student Gaëlle, and graphic-designer Izzy who begins on the 11th December. Alan's son Sandy, who also worked last summer, is on stand-by on weekends and during school holidays.
Fans of the Harold's webcam will glad to hear that it is back online. You can now view what is happening in Harold's live.
We have a new exhibition of painted photos by Lottie Pridham. Come and check them out.
And finally, it's the story of the girl who came in and proceeded to declare: "I'm a tourist. I don't know what this is worth", throwing all the loose change in the tip jar. We wish we had more clients like that.
