Bahahaha.  Admit it.  You love it.

She's funny. But I can't ever admit it in front of her.  ;D

My daughter went to krav maga yesterday evening to see what it was about. When she got back, I asked her how it went:

I've worked down there a few times in the past, so I'm familiar with the turf. It would be a complete reset for sure.

The folks have a winter home close to Clearwater, so I'd be able to see them more often. I'd likely see the kids as often as I would if I stayed here.

It's going to take some thought.



I was in Cape Coral/Fort Myers around Christmas time, and the only positive thing about Florida is the weather, IMO.

It's definitely not all upside, that's for sure.

I sent in my paperwork. Turns out, a few others within the company have applied recently, so there is competition for the posting. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I heard Carillion Canada Inc. Is pulling out of the construction in Canada, they are still keeping their maintenance section going

I just learned that Carillion has the contract for much of the highway snow removal in Ontario.   Hopefully that's the section that keeps working?

Carillion also has the maintenance contract for the PPP hospitals that are being built in the Sask. Not sure who is taking that over.

Is their Canadian company going under also ?
I bet Aecom is already making plans to take over

From what I've heard, it sounds like it.
I haven't worked with them directly, at least I don't remember doing so.

If it doesn't pick up, I may be off for a lot longer than that.

I'm considering everything at this point.

There are a few potential jobs, but no offers yet.

edit. I'm a A.Sc.T. not a P.Eng.  ;D

Yup.  People and dogs, one hit, you should be dead. That would make life much better.
