It’s looking very much like the company I’m working for will need to grow our team…
Are you a designer?  Do you specialize in print, but also know web?  Do you have a kick-ass portfolio full of unique brands?  Do you want to work for a fast-paced, growing company that has highly visible clients?  Are you in [...]

Today marks the first full week at my new job, and so far, it’s been fantastic!  I must say, it’s a real change for me to go from working in an office full of programmers, to an office with strictly creative-types.  This isn’t a bad change, not at all, but it’s certainly different!
With my current project, I’ve been [...]

The days are just flying by!  I’ve been down to Seattle (and gotten the 3rd degree on both sides of the border), spent many, many hours on the road, had a weekend with my niece, gotten acclimatized to my new office, unpacked new gear, and created a go-forward strategy for my main focus at work right [...]

So, tomorrow’s the big day!  I’m heading into my new office with laptop in tow, ready to get started on my next chapter…  I’m really excited about all this opportunity can be!
This afternoon, I had a really nice lunch with my Dad, as we talked about my new job, our upcoming cruise in three weeks, [...]

…And I now have a new job!
I’m very excited to report that I received a great job offer today, and I accepted!  I’m thrilled with the new position, and all the opportunities it provides — And, it’s with a friend, and colleague with whom I’ve worked for a few years on contract.  The new company [...]

And, it sure is!
This whole day has felt, well, weird.  It’s hard to put my finger on why, but, now that I’ve realized what day it is, I’ll chalk it up to that!
Are you off to celebrate this fine day of mystery and superstition?  I am off to a housewarming party tonight, which will definitely [...]

…So much for taking it a bit easy for a week or two while I let the stresses of the past few months subside!  I’ve already been out for job interviews / information sessions on opportunities, and I’ve barely been unemployed for three days.  I am focused on finding a really great fit for me, (and the prospective [...]

The 2006 Canadian Blog Awards are now looking for nominations! If you enjoy my blog, why not go over and nominate me in “Best Local Blog” or the “Best Blog” category?  I figure it’s a great way to find new readers, as well as put a spotlight on some really great bloggers in Canada…
I see [...]

I just had to mention this, because I think it’s rather humorous: We’ve been living in our beautiful downtown home for 6.5 months, and we still don’t have *anything* up on our walls.  No art, no enlarged photos… Not a thing. 
How sad is that, when both M and I are artists?  We really must [...]

Hey kids!  How’s things?  Things for me have been relatively calm, but not eat-bonbons-on-the-couch-while-watching-Oprah kind of relaxed, though… I’ve actually been keeping relatively busy, while using my office as a launch pad for my job hunt as well as to give a minor amount of support to the team who are also here to make [...]

Another chapter in my life…
Tomorrow is a long weekend day for us Canadians, but it’s already becoming something that doesn’t register for me, since it seems I’ll have quite a few days with time on my hands in the next little while.
Which brings me to wonder: Does EI get paid out on statutory holidays?  I [...]

Thanks you guys, for being so supportive!  I *know* it’s difficult to see someone you care about go through frustrating times.  I’ve decided that this blog entry just needed to be deleted, as I was angry when I wrote it, and it didn’t really reflect the right tone of the situation.

I find the timing rather interesting, quite frankly.  Is there a hidden message in it all?
In a few short hours, I’ll be unemployed for the first time in my life.  And, I’m doing just fine… I’ve got a ton of opportunities to look forward to, and certainly plenty to give thanks for this weekend.  Let [...]

I’ll try to keep this short, and without details, as this is a personal blog, and not one that I like to focus on my professional life in any great detail.
It’s looking very much like I’ll be re-thinking my career in short order.  I truly love my current position as manager of marketing and web [...]

The bad news:  It’s been a crazy, busy, stressful time for me (mostly work-related) and every moment of every day is a bit of a struggle in one way or another.  So much so, that I’ve had not much time for myself these past several days.  My life seems to be consumed by work-related challenges.
The good [...]
