Default It seems that I…

… have a job offer.

Contracts to be sorted wednesday and then LMO application goes in. It's the Oshawa job. They've been advertising 3 months and have records of it. Company owner is British. Just spent about an hour on the phone with him and we hit it off. Have the same outlook on why we do what we do and work ethics. Turns out we have mutual friends in the business, both good and bad. Loads of interesting stuff in the pipeline for the company and job for me, which could include travel across Canada and US.

Guess who is NOT going to get any sleep tonight.

Thanks all for the thumbs up and crossed fingers.

It will be a nervous couple of weeks waiting for the LMO.

Thanks Mandy!

I would if I had any beer. As for now I'm going to try to get some sleep. I will have to run around, hopefully not like a headless chicken but in that vein, for the next couple of weeks getting myself organized. Pack boxes according to what I may want to ship out etc. Basically I expect to get on a plane as soon as the LMO turns up - that is if it's positive. Even if it's rejected I'm going for a visit for a while. Still need to be prepared for a positive, though. They basically want me there ASAP.

Who's the Mayor of Oshawa?

Thumbs up, hope to see you for a pint soon.
