Next adventure...

It's 1:45 am and I'm at Vancouver airport, waiting for my flight... Which is delayed until 3;30 am... I'm a little tired, and am not looking forward to how tired I'm going to feel by the time I next sleep... But I digress...

So I realize it's been a while since my last post. There have been some pretty big changes my end. If memory serves, last time I posted I had just been laid off... That wasn't a fun time!! I was quite sick shortly after, so took a few weeks to recover. Then it was time to hunt... I sent out many email and letters and started to reconsider my particular career path... Wasn't sure exactly where to look/focus/hunt. But luck was on my side and a few opportunities knocked.

I ended up accepting two positions, one at a law firm and one doing due diligence contract work from home.  Man oh man, am I not cut out for working two jobs... Or at least not two that each actually wanted 3/4 time?? It's hard to describe, but suffice to say I pretty much fell off every map on the planet and was working most waking hours. Not fun, and certainly not sustainable. 

Well, trial by fire has ways of making you shine. I was offered a full time job by the second position- becoming and Investment Manager - so I gave notice to the firm... So now I'm back to one job and I think it's going to be great!!

Anyway, this brings me to why I'm at the airport at 'ungodly-o-clock'... Well I'm on my way to Southeast Asia to meet up with my kiwi friend Kathryn and do a tour of Cambodia and Thailand, and then spend some time with my half-brother in Hong Kong! I think it's going to be a very busy trip, and one that I'll need a vacation after haha!!

So, other than being extremely tired, life is looking up! Day by day, smiling and having fun...

I'm not sure how signal is going to work this trip, but will try post updates as I can. 

Now, how to kill time without sleeping?!
