Well...

I arrived home yesterday, during an incredibly stressful travel day. First, my flight to Halifax got diverted to Moncton, and returned to Halifax. Next, as a result of the first note, I missed my flight to Calgary. After I get to Calgary Airport, I find out that Air Canada lost my luggage. I got it back at 12:30 PM today, but it still pissed me off big time. At any rate, things are going good. I have a job interview with WestJet later this month, and have at least two or three other places I'm waiting on for calls.

I'm glad to be home, but I miss the hell out of everyone.

The Homestretch...

So I'm less than a week away from my return home. The past two weeks have been tons of fun for our cluster. We went to the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland to visit L'anse Aux Meadows two weeks ago and had a mock prom last Thursday.

This week has been fun, if a little short. We were on our 72 hours off from Friday night-Monday, and work up until this Friday, after which we empty out the house and leave for our final debriefing. Today was amazing, the Town of Deer Lake (the employer of three participants myself included) treated all of the Katimavik participants in Deer Lake to an appreciation lunch at the local Pizza Delight. It was a very kind gesture, and contained many sincere thanks from town council, our supervisor, and humourous words from our co-workers. I know I'm going to miss Deer Lake, but I plan to return to the town soon enough.

I'll be posting again in almost a week (which is no surprise in and of itself), because I'll be killer busy for the next 6-5 days. Talk to you guys soon.
