Holidays and Meetings....

So I am at the tail end of my holidays, and head home in about 3 days. T he last couple days have been nice with not much going on although I would have liked to have got some golf in. None the less I was able to get out and do some shopping with my mother. I cooked dinner for them yesterday, mom enjoyed it Dad well who knows lol.
I am actually going into work for a day at the Markham office for Worley Parsons. I drove down last night to avoid the rush hour traffic. I figured I would get in here and meet the expediters and buyers and take off people for the project and start to build a bit of a relationship with them. I figure I will only be in the office for a few hours and I can get back to my holidays. I will charge the company for a 10 hour day(travel time included) for taking time out of my holiday to come here. I do however have an interview with Enmax on the phone at 10am today. I didn’t want to take the interview but they insisted. They also said they could match my salary which I doubt they can. None the less, I can graciously decline the offer should they make one.
Speaking of which, I have to fly to Saskatoon on the27 July for a final interview with Agrium. This was the job I have done 4 interviews for already, and the one that I would be the client on. I was excited about the opportunity way back when but now that I am working, I am not as excited. I am not sure what the salary will be as a contractor, I do know there is LOA and flight allowances unless I go as a staff, and then they will pay to move me and a whole bunch of other benefits. The job is a term job for 5 years for a group of projects so the longevity is good. It is in Saskatoon, so a lil closer to home, and I am the lead Procurement guy so I have a good opportunity to show my stuff (or fail).
I am a lil torn right now after all the running around I did on this project and getting the apartment set up. I put so much work in, that to pack up after a month and leave now would be tough, however if this project vault pays more and offers more, than I am definitely out of here. I have to take care of myself when it comes to jobs now. And this job did not do a good job of taking care of the employees.
So I will have to make some more decision before the end of the month on what I am going to do. Ok time for me to get ready and go into the office, I will chat more about this tomorrow!
Later!
