Anne and I are back from our vacation in Nova Scotia, and both back at work, in my case, for the first time in a couple of months. It’s good to be back at it, but it’s hard not to wish we were still in Nova Scotia if for no other reason than the extended hot, humid, dry spell we’re all suffering in Toronto. It has become so bad that we’ve given up on the fan solution and moved ourselves down to the basement to sleep there.<\/p>\n
On the work front, my new project has started off well and I’m enjoying being back with a client I’ve worked with several times in the past. The prospects for more work are also good, with interest for me as a contractor from another old client, but in addition several companies have approached me to see if I would be a good fit within their organizations. I’m in the early stages on all of these, and of course can’t make any moves until my current contract expires, but I’m in the lucky situation of having a great fallback position in my own consulting “practice”.<\/p>\n
I did actually make a few journal entries in NS, so I’ll try and find them and get them entered into the Blog, along with the photos from Anne’s camera. My phone cam got a couple of pretty inadequate photos and a few little video clips, primarily of the Canada Day celebrations in Halifax, all very grey as that was one of the few rainy days on our trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
