Start of the end...

Start of Monday morning, and I'm already exhausted. Whether it's because I spent the whole weekend on the computer playing Sims 2, or the fact that the move occupies my mind the rest of my waking time - but probably it's just the fact that weeks of working late are taking their toll. I notice that this time it has taken now considerably less time to reach this mental state of exhaustion than last winter - just shows that although it felt like I had recovered from it, I hadn't, not completely.

I shouldn't complain, not really. I just keep thinking that Dragon - who is now at home enjoying some time off - can't possibly recover in his six or so weeks off work, not from his previous two or three years crunch. Still, It's better than nothing I guess.

It's feeling like start of the end at work... HR today acknowledged my resignation with a nice letter. Our CEO came and talked to me today about my leaving too - he was saying that Vancouver was fantastic city and the only one he would consider living in (he's no city dweller). Our CTO in turn gave me his Vancouver guide books and maps, singing the same praises.Vancouver is fantastic, you'll love it there, it's the most beautiful city in the world.

I'm getting to the stage where I think I have enough information and there is only so much you can take in theory, now I just want to get there and start exploring and settling in.

I hate waiting.

Vancouver is fantastic. Nicest place I've ever lived in, and I've lived in many places :)

It can't be better than newbury surely? ;o)

It won't be the same without you (And by that I mean I'll miss you, not it'll be better :op)

And I've never been to Canada so can't comment on it, but maybe that'll change one day...?

And you will always be welcome in Vancouver, I'll save a space for you on the sofa :)
