Remember to beat the shit out of someone the first week so they respect you.

Paul: Heh! And yeah, we'll definitely get together soon -- probably in the new year though, the first two weeks are going to be pretty crazy.

Congrats!

When I read your post about the job a few weeks ago I figured that you’d make getting the job look easy, and that I’d be looking forward to your arrival and catching up with you over a drink in one of Toronto’s many, many great little (and large) neighborhood pubs and lounges. :-)

Chris: Thanks! What I bet it will do is make us plan trips to Montreal, instead of "hey, let's go to Montreal (for an afternoon/for dinner/just to shop at Rockland Centre and then come home)". This will probably improve the chances of seeing you guys when we do :-) Geoff: Heh, suuure it was parked legally. :-) But yeah, I think there's going to be some policy geekery in the next little while... dunno where I'd have got that from!

Congrats! And a nice step up, too! I am sure you’ll do wonderfully, using everything I taught you! :-)

(I don’t like Toronto either, but then the first time I went there, they towed my car for parking legally!)

Hey, congrats on the job. I actually saw their ad on standoutjobs and had considered applying, when I noticed that they were in the big smoke. I could almost see myself move to Ottawa, but Toronto is something else. I’ve become way too much of a Montrealer now, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to leave. :-)

Sorry to hear that you’re moving even further away though. Hopefully this will mean you’ll come up to visit more often.

Thanks, everyone! Pam: I'm up there on the 10th, then back a bit over Christmas. Candice is still here until the beginning of February. I think she's already emailed you about getting together :-) gcrumb: I'm fond of Montreal too, but we've decided it's a better place to visit than live, between the language thing and the regulatory situation for massage therapists. Besides, Toronto's really the centre of the Internet industry these days up here. Ben: Hah, imagine running into you here :-) Gally: Can you blame us? :-) I forgot you were down that way! Yeah, the office is just over on Dufferin below Lawrence so Yorkdale made a good place to stop for a bit when I got into town early.
