Best Christmas in a long time

RBOrrell · 12-28-2009, 02:47 PM

Hello BsOTL and SsOTL,

I look at the top right of my screen and it says that the last time I was here was November 30. I have really not had time to venture onto the board and I have missed the folks here.

2009 was not the best year for me. I was with a consulting company that saw most of our client base wizzle up and move to the US leaving us high and dry. I had a few short term contracts that kept my skills sharp but the job market in Toronto sucks - especially in IT.

Well, a week before Christmas I was finally offered and subsequently accepted a full-time gig that makes me and everyone at home very happy. So, January 4th will see me back in the employed column!

I look forward to getting back to regular particpation here. I also hope to start restocking my humi's as they have taken a beating over 2009. I hope to get into a Canadian trade once stocks have returned to a normal (for me) level.

Happy New Year to all of the inmates!
Bruce
