Whoa!

I was in the middle of cleaning up a culinary adventure.
Sure I was wearing an apron, bottle of Fantastik in my hand and a tomato sauce covered j-cloth in the other when the phone rang.

I saw the caller ID and immediately knew who it was and what they were going to say.

I picked it up and managed to stack my lungs with air, "Hello?"

"Hi, Is Colum Around?"

The conversation continued and reached it's point very quickly. I could suddenly see the light at the end of the tunnel. School was about to end and the real world was about to envelop me.

"We'd like to offer you a job... it's essentially exactly what you asked for, Facilities Engineering in Calgary under your previous General Manager."

I almost dropped the phone. I'd made an ultimatum before I had left with one of the largest companies in the world, surprisingly it had worked. They bent their rules.

If I could huge my old supervisors now I would.
Thanks so much!

Calgary here I come.
