Status: Task Force on Call

Guess who’s back – back again?

That’s a ridiculous question.

It’s obviously Dwight and Jim with your Weekly Weekend Wrap-Up (The Office Edition)!

In the words of Pink, “let’s get this party started on a [Sunday afternoon]”.

With no major festivals this week, your Task Force spent a lot of time in The Office (thus the edition title). Despite the lack of search and rescues, we still managed to save the world yet again – this time with postcards! If you’re an Italian/American soccer player who arrived this week for the BYSC International Invitational Cup, chances are you received one of our Tourism postcards to send home. Fact: Being a French-speaking linguist in no way qualifies you to speak Italian as Dania so proved when she misspelled “benvenuto” on twenty of the fifty handwritten postcards (Captain Kirk’s Note: This was ultimately corrected and peace was restored to the galaxy).

On a completely unrelated and much less exciting note, the Elora/Fergus brochures came in today! To the gentleman who came into The Office yesterday looking for one: they have arrived. You no longer have to stay awake at night worrying about not having the information you need on the Scottish Festival.

In case you have begun to wonder how we spend our time when not wittily blogging for your entertainment, today we successfully convinced a lovely couple from Saskatchewan to spend the night in Burlington instead of continuing to another city which, for privacy purposes, shall remain nameless. It may or may not be London. I guess that’s why they pay us the big money. We’re always thinking one step ahead. Like a carpenter that makes stairs.

Also, we’ve received a few comments that we’re perhaps a tad full of ourselves. Not true. Guess what? We have flaws. What are they? Oh we dunno…we sing in the shower? Sometimes we spend too much time volunteering. But in all seriousness, we’re pretty cool.

And now, an update on Tourism’s Burlington’s furious breakthrough into the rap scene! We present to you another stanza of “Stat That” (by our very own Nata-lee-zee).

♪ Tear that, Locust 4-1-4,
Tear that, in the Burlington core,
Tear that, right off Lakeshore,
Tear that, woOoOoOoh ♪

Till next time, stay classy Burlington.
