Ok, I've been putting this off for a while. But I'm still lazy, so I'm simply posting the contents of a letter I just sent a friend of mine :P

You know, I've been putting this off soo long, and now I have 4 weeks worth of stuff to talk about ... and I just can't even figure out where to start from :(

So I was driving home on Friday the 13th of all days. And I actually ended up driving past a 3 car pile-up. Quite literally, I was in the lane of traffic right next to the one with the accident.

What's noteworthy about this pile-up is what happened to the middle car. It looked like the middle car had slid it's bumper under the front car, and then had it's back end lifted up in the air by the rear car. So basically, there were two cars bracketing a middle car that was pointing downwards at a good 30 degree angle.

Gah! My flight was delayed by two & a half freaking hours. Looks like it was a combination of our plane showing up late from its previous run & there being a medical emergency on board. I saw them cart out a lady on an EMS stretcher; she was wrapped in a big yellow blanket and was breathing from an oxygen mask.

Thus, I was supposed to show up in LA(la land) at ~10:15pm, but ended up arriving at 12:20am!?!?!?!?! Gah!

WOW, it's been a hectic week! Lets start with Sunday

Sunday
Going away party! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! And Boo to anyone that bailed ;P I posted the photos of the party in the photos section :D

Monday
First Monday without work! Woho! I'm a bum again! I went to the bank and setup a US Dollar account at TD with a FREE 'Borderless Plan' that gives me a FREE US Dollar Visa Credit Card :D I was preapproved for the visa so all I had to do was wait for it to arrive. Gawd, I LOVE my TD Select Service account :D :D

Ok, So my going away party is scheduled for 2pm Sunday, March 25th 2007 @ the Fox & Fiddle.

I've booked my flight for 8:15pm Saturday, March 31st - T1 (arrives @ 10:45pm Saturday, March 31st - T2).

I went to TD bank and discovered that I can get a FREE ($4.95US/month fee waived) US dollar "Borderless Plan" account, WITH a FREE ($25US/year fee waived) TD US Dollar Advantage Visa Card, all because I have a TD Select Service chequing account :D

Ok, lets make this official. About a week ago, I accepted a job offer from a construction contracting company in the States. This Friday is my last day of work at my current (awsome, wicked, cool, fun, I'll miss it bunches) company, Mayon Technologies Inc.

Now it's on to greener (read: more Electrical Engineering-y) pastures :D YAY!

My new career will be part of the 'MEP Group' (Mechanical Electrical Plumbing). My starting job title will be 'Project Engineer'; OOOooo! Sends shivers up and down my spine!!!!
