Wow. The busiest week so far. We picked up some of our transported stuff from the warehouse, we watched a hockey game (Guelph lost 2-0), I was interviewed for a contract job, got accepted, started work, was asked to go full time permanent. So it's been a hectic week.
And I have a job now :-)
It's desktop support for GE. You may have heard of them - they're the 5th largest company in the world and the Financial Times voted them World's Most Respected Company for the past six years. Yup, I'm looking forward to a long and happy career there! Emails of thanks most welcomed!!
The NHL regular season is winding down. Leafs only have three games left, and it looks very much like they'll be facing Ottawa in the first round of the play-offs. Toronto/Ottawa has been a severe grudge match for the past few years. It's now worse than Toronto/Montreal, so that's saying something.
I'm sipping Tim Horton's coffee, typing a blog about how great Canada is, in a basement (something new to a typical Brit), and marvelling at how far things have come recently. We have a car, a house, both have jobs, and in less than three months it will be almost as though we've been here forever.
The "we" is my wife & I. Deb was so thrilled when I told her that GE wanted me full time. She bought some champagne and we celebrated with a couple of glasses that evening. A nice surprise for me :-)
Apart from a broken key on the laptop keyboard, things are going great. Once I get a moment, I'll start sifting through the backlog of emails that has built up over the past few days.
Sees you all anon!
