So, today is my last day at work. Which feels very strange. This is the first time in my life that I have left a job with the prospect of not working for a long time after, and had that be okay instead of a source of stress. Even if and when I find a job in Abu Dhabi, I still won't be working for months. There's so much to do in that time and yet still I feel kind of cast adrift.
I've been trying to figure out how to bring my car into Canada, which has honestly been a huge nightmare. Check out the list of things to do here and tell me if you believe in free trade anymore!
We haven't even really started packing yet--so it's good that I will have a couple of weeks before we leave. On top of the regular work we also have to have an itemized list of everything we move with us to declare at the border, so that will require some extra work as well.
So I'm sometimes excited, sometimes freaking out, sometimes not even believing the whole thing is happening!
Since today is my last day with regular access to a computer, I won't be online to write here or answer email as much anymore. I'll try to check it a few times before we leave at least, but may not have access on the road, and after we leave Edmonton in early May it's going to be a while before we can get our own computer and get it all set up. So I hope you will excuse me if my posts are even more sporadic than usual this next little while. I'll write when I can, I promise!
