Yes, a chambermaid. Was that your first job? Yes. Well, that's a good question. My very first job was actually, it was the same year. I did like, I would jump over the fence at my childhood home and I would do filing for like a home inspection company. So I would, but I would, it was long hours, but it was helpful, I think, to just sit there and organize. And then I got a job at the motel.

It was called the Robin Hood Motel. Yes. And my mom worked there, my sister, my aunt, my cousin. My mom ran the housekeeping department. She was like the head honcho there. And so she hired me and I would every morning just show up. I mean, harder in the teen years when you're out the night before and then you get there at 6 a.m. And I'm like, where's the coffee?

And my brother was gardening there at the time, too. So we'd be like Saturday mornings like, OK. But it was such a good experience because I worked there for probably 10 summers straight. I even worked there one summer when I thought like after I graduated high school and I went to Toronto and thought I was going to be famous in two months. But reality, you know, like that's not how it works.

Your goals take a while to achieve. Moved back home, worked there again that year when I was going to college again. in my hometown of Victoria. And that was the year where I was like, oh, I wonder if my dreams will come true. But growing up doing that was good because the work ethic. Because when you get into this industry, the hours can be long. When you're starting out, it's a lot of hustling.

Sorry, I have a story in my mind. Because she said, I remember, you know, be careful what you wish for, right? Because she's like, oh, mom, yeah, you should start working again. And then a year later, she's like, why are your hair appointments five hours long and your nail appointments are three hours? Like, you've kind of become a diva, mom.
