And I didn’t have to do anything.
Hi James; Thank you for forwarding your resume. Can we meet next Monday at 8:30am, or 3:30pm? Uh, can we say hell yes? So, where I only thought I was going back to Ottawa, I now officially *am* going back to Ottawa. Probably Monday. And probably until Friday-ish. Or something. … Read the rest
