Is that you, R? I don't remember knowing anyone else in Canada.

Anyway, I ended up deciding to take a position that was offered me by another company. The pay's almost as good, and it's half the distance from home; the hours also seem better, in theory atleast -- I felt the slightly greater pay that the others were offering me really wasn't worth the life-devouring timewaste that I'd have to suffer every single day of work.

I begin work on the 5th of June.
