    Cool I'm moving to Ottawa!

    Today I officially accepted a job offer to our new Ottawa office! My wife and I are so excited to be getting out of Toronto! Looks like we'll be moving sometime in the next three months, so we're going up to Ottawa in a few weeks to snag an apartment before all the university students snatch them all up. I'll be doing much the same thing I have been doing in our Toronto office for the last 5 years. But the lifestyle change is what we are really looking forward to. A lot slower pace than Toronto's hustle and bustle.

    One of the first tasks will be to get the office running according to company standards, as the people currently there don't have any experience with the company. Also we'll be looking for some different office space since the current space is about 10 times the size we actually need.

    Now the fun stuff starts! Hope I can get DSL at the new apartment.

Congrats then. I know nothing of Canada except no one here will take your quarters that I seem to keep winding up with.

    Haha, my wife and I will probably end up in a small one bedroom apartment to start, but it won't take us long to scrape enough money together for a townhouse. Then we'll have a big housewarming and extra rooms for guests.

    I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.
