I can hit 200 posts before 2010!!
So let's get it on.
On the first post before christmas my true work brought to me a Technical Rehearsal and a headache!!
I am currently on shift in the operations centre for the 2010 games waiting for some sort of mysterious disaster to strike on one of the venues. Will it be a computer needing reimage? Or a VTM trying to do something they shouldn't? Only the overseers know.... any they ain't telling.
I have finished hiring for my work (for now) and although I have had a %10 drop off in staff over the last year due to them leaving, us letting them go or not accepting contracts we are still 91 people strong and have a grat team together. The guys from London 2012 for Acer are here right now as are a number 'big wig' guys from the Acer corporate. I'm doing my best to just do my job and make myself known as the guy who gets it done but secretly I just want to beg all of them for the chance to go to London.
We are interested in this idea, Kate the kids and I. We want to try out living in Europe even if it does mean singing 'The Final Countdown' everytime I think of it. The cost of living is huge, the transportation situation is dire and the air quality is second to most but! It's not Canada and it's not the USA so right away it's gotmajor brownie points. We will see what comes, when it comes. Who knows? We may be here for the next 5 years instead.
Sebastian needs Surgery on his eye to correct the muscles that are causing his one eye to turn in. We patched him and have gone through a few different pairs of glasses however the Doc says it's time to go in now. Sebastian informed me that all surgeons are horrible people because they cut you and put you to sleep and give you needles. This was said prior to bed last night.
I'm not going to argue. At least... not here.
Before you read what I write. Read who I am.
Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now.
My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.
What's interesting Drew right now?
