A shift to the Left
As of the 15th of this month when I walk south toward the business district and hit King St. I will turn left to arrive at work, rather than right, as has been the case for the past four years. The symbolism of the turn direction delights me.
I have resigned my job as media whore, er, media relations manager for one of the world's largest firms of number crunchers. Instead I will become the media whore, er senior manager of communications and media relations for a college.
The physical and metaphorical shift off of Bay St. has me as excited as the reduction in salary has me hyperventilating that I won't be able to pay my rent (after paying for my art collection)!
I'll blog more later about the various happenings arising through the job getting process and the resignation.

Congratulations! I just talked to someone at George Brown. She called me and woke me up. She called me about whether I am attending an information session of the program or not. I told her that I would be back in Toronto on May 23 and she told me that I would not be able to attend. I also asked any options for not being able to attend the session. She told me that I would not have any opportunities until school starts.
Her voice was continuously cold and emotionless.
I thought – "ah, it is very Torontonian, cold, negative, and unwelcoming." lol
Can I make appointment with you for lunch? hehe
I will cut and paste this comment on my blog :P
Congratulations!
Congratulations on the job! Work is not something you talk about much here, so I wasn't conscious that it was an issue, but it sounds like this new position will be something you enjoy a lot more. Great!
I'm sure you'll quickly expand beyond the job description and add a lot to the environment -- cursing academic bureaucracy all the while, but at least agreeing with the end it serves.
