Christmas was an interesting time.
We went to my parents place on the island after 2 aborted attempts and a Christmas eve dinner. So much snow we were not able to get the car on to the road and Grumpy dad and the girls trekked for almost 2 hours to get to our house with Turkey. After leaving his car in an intersection somewhere Grumps grabbed the snow tired station wagon of Nancy and headed over. That dinner was wonderful and the evening couldn't have gone better.
We got over to my parents place on Christmas day and spent the time eating, drinking and playing with toys. Kate and Rigby went home early and Sebastian and I stayed until the weekend.
I started in again with VanOC/ACER when I came home and the job (although boring) has been going quite well. I applied with another contract company for a position with Telus and eventually was offered the job. However, ACER decided they wanted me here at VanOC and made an offer as well. This went back and forth for a few days and although I settled on both companies at different times I finally decided to stick with ACER.
It meant that I got a substantial increase in pay (nearly double) and a challenging job where I can spend time getting certifications. They are a pre-requirement for the position so I am on the learning train now.
We are now looking at moving in to a house in the Burnaby/New West area or somewhere similar. The available options to us now are a bit better and we feel that we can get some space while keeping our wonderful home.... homey.
So now that the stress and crazy has settled a little we can enjoy our time and this job while waiting for the workload to increase (I'm told 8 fold) here at VanOC.
Woo!
