New old job

Well, good news is that I'm definetly going to have a job in Canada, at least for a while. My current employer has offered me a contract - doing more or less the same job than I currently do, only from home in Vancouver. How well this is going to work in practice remains to be seen, but they need me and I need a job so we're going to try our best. Taxation is an interesting topic and we need to avoid the worst case scenario where I would be taxed in two countries... so I might have to start a one-woman company that then bills the other company... or some-such thing.

In many ways this is the best case scenario - I can still continue to work with an interesting product I've helped to develop, with a good team and a company, and most importantly with people that I know and like. At the same time I can work from home: 10 second trip to work instead of 1.5 hours will be a good start. I can live in a beautiful city with my husband, and I can pretend I'm my own boss and have siesta lunchtime if I want to (something I think should be made a law anyway).

I'm very happy about this, and really really hope we can make it work, even if it's temporary. At least that would give me some time to settle in before starting another job hunt.
