The shock of the upcoming move finally subsided over the weekend, to be gradually replaced by the stress of having to get everything done in the next month - and in fact, preferably in the next 3 weeks. I'm glad my hair is already short, otherwise I'd already have pulled it all out.

Mama, I'm Coming Home

Well that was sudden.

My boss flew down here late last night for a whirlwind trip. Apparently the main reason for the trip was to ask if I would consider a transfer back to Calgary.

There are a lot of good reasons for it. While the experience down here is great for my career, there's no advancement while I'm here. The kind of work that we do down here, though, has become much more popular up in Canada now, and I apparently have more experience with it than everybody else there combined. It would be a somewhat more senior role than I had when I left, and by all accounts the working environment in the head office has improved quite a bit since I left.

And if all else fails, it's easier for me to find a job in my field in Calgary than it is down here.
