Re: So....how would this work?

Re: So....how would this work?

I'm sorry, but I cannot say "go for it and don't worry" and/or "be careful and watch for this or that" - but I can say that your approach to the matter scares me a lot as you simply believe in your...

Re: Jobby type question

There are large swaths of Calgary's economy that depend on raping and pillaging. In those sectors, you would not want to be perceived as someone with "bureaucratic" inclinations, and you would want...

Re: Early Days...but...

Jobby type question

OK.

My plan is that when we come over, H will work for his current company and I'll just take what I can get. I may even do some voluntary work to start with as we're intending to come over with...
