Working...

Well, we're part of the working world. Well, Aimee is anyway.
I don't start until tomorrow (Wednesday).

She seems to be enjoying it. It's a nice office, very open plan (no cubicles!) with about 20 people.
It's a good team environment, so I'm sure in a few months she'll be a proper part of the family, involved in animated discussions about who dropped that table from the database or whatever it is those DBA's get up to.

She's already been assigned some work to do, so is busily tap-tapping away on her keyboard fixing some corruptions or something.

Currently I'm sitting in the Starbucks on King and Yonge (pronounced 'Young'). I'm not here for the coffee but for the wireless internet. I've been using these last 2 days of my holiday to search for a place for us to live, and let me tell you it's hard going.
Not knowing what Toronto's good and bad areas are; it's easy to see a cheap place and not know that it's in the middle of a really bad area or to see a really nice apartment that's in a good area, only to find out that it's $1800 a month for 1 room.

At this stage, we're still living in Woodbridge, which is 1.5 hours out of town. So we start each day at 5:30, catch the 6:55am bus and are in town just in time for an 8:30 start.
At the end of the day, we should get home about 7 or 8pm
So if anybody out there has a penthouse apartment in downtown Toronto going for less than $1000 a month, email me!

I saw NZ in the news again today. This time it was a newspaper article that back in 2005-6 NZ declined to receive some prisoners from Guantanamo bay.
Article here.
Not very exciting I know, but still, it made a column in the Metro, a free paper that everyone reads while on the subway.

Thanks and hello to all the people that have commented, Carmel, Andrey, my Sister, Abe, Aunty Penny, Paul, Gil, The Superfriends (you know who you are), Dad, the other dad (Nap), Anthony, Aiyaz, Kim and Rickard.
We know your time is valuable and thanks for holding, we'll be with you shortly...
