Well I have received and accepted an offer for a new position with TransCanada Pipeline. It is for a project down east in the Toronto Ontario Area. I was extremely excited to receive the job and it is something I have wanted to do for a while, work for an owner company on a project. I have done pretty much all the positions on the EPCM side of things, and this was a natural progression for me to move to the owner side. The only down side is I have to move, I can't go on LOA. Mind you, they pay for the move and everything, it is just tough leaving Edmonton which has been home for me for the last 9 years. I like to think I am coming back in after this project with TransCanada but who knows what will be going on in 3 years. I know I will miss the few close friends I have in Edmonton, and the not so close acquaintances even. The upside is I get to live and be close to my family, which I have not been for 30 years. I know it will be nice to see them on a more regular basis, and do a little more family things.
So my next year looks something like this... I leave Regina 27 November and drive back to Edmonton. I head down to Calgary on the 30 November and start with TransCanada. I put my house up for sale in Edmonton around February and move down east around March/April. I work and live in the Oakville area until late 2012 when the project ends, and then who knows....but you know what...who cares...it is exciting times for me now, and I am looking forward to the change. I will update some more on the actually job next entry when I have a little bit more time.
Until then keep your sticks on the ice!
