Well, my new job is pretty kick ass. It's in the most expansive part,
of the most expensive city in the world. I mean, directions are
literally, take a left at the Ritz (which evidently sells tea for 65
pounds). There are a lot of nice cars in the neighbourhood as well. I
mean, I've seen one Ferrari in Canada. One in my entire life. I saw
about 30ish in that district over the past 2 days.
About the job. I am a customer service advisor for the parent company
of over 30 ISPs. My company bought out these companies after they fell
following the internet bubble bursting. My job is the email customer
service position, alongside 3 of my friends. The workplace is very
casual. 30 or so staff on the floor, which deal with everything from
business to web design. The staff is paid on salary, so the entire
company is laid back and stress free. Tomorrow is casual Friday, but I
doubt I should wear anything less than a nice shirt and trousers on my
second day. I might try something more casual next Friday.
My job seems uberkeen, so I think I'll have lots of fun doing it. And
by the way. The two guys working right behind me are on Linux systems,
and there are a few squash players in the company.
Now, I gotta find a flat. See you all in 3 and a half months.
Your employed friend,
Paul

Paul!
It is I, the formerly-Thunder-Bay-dwelling-lizard-type-creature.
I'm glad you're employed. We've both made a similar transition, only I've gone in the opposite direction - I came home from treeplanting due to family stuff, and am now looking for a job. :P
I'm very glad that you're updating here frequently. I wanted to hear about your adventures. Sooo, you can expect to see me here, commenting like the random entity that I am.
I demand more pictures.
Good luck with looking for a flat.
And to close:
In your conquest, never underestimate the power of rodents.
Hey, Paul
This is in regard to a previous post:
While I can identify with your disdain for organised religion, I disagree with you choice not to enter St. Paul's Cathedral. It really is a great building, and if only for the appreciation of architecture you really should have gone inside. You're not going to see much like it on this side of the Atlantic...
Remember, some of the greatest works of art and pieces of music were created for a church that was at times far more corrupt than it is now.
Anyway, I think my whole family is relieved at your finding a job. We were getting kind of worried for a little while. In other news, Helen moved out for the summer, and while she does come back almost everyday to see her horse, its still one less person to share the bathroom with.
To restore balance to the universe after Jess's comment:
Bad luck with looking for a flat,
Dan
P.S. If you have as many cats as we do, you can underestimate all the rodents you want
