Sam's saga

I suggested to Sam that he should post what's been going with him but obviously he is not interested. So I will tell you. He got that job in Vancouver which was a four-month placement. but it was not working out, he was having trouble finding a place to live (searching long distance) and having to store all his stuff for only four months. So he went to the co-op people and said he was not going to take the job, which they frown on for a few different reasons, one being that they don't want to jeopardise their relationship with potential employers. But in the end he was allowed to quit although he had to have another job offer. He interviewed with Telus in Edmonton, not exactly what he was looking for as it was an eight-month placement, but got that job. So he can stay living where he is, he has heard that Telus is good to work for, the office is downtown so easy to get to. All is good. He had been looking for a four-month placement so he could graduate in December, now he will graduate in the spring. But it is also more experience. So anyone who has problems with Telus can call Sam in accounting.

Happy that it worked out for Sam - kind of a stressful time for him - it may be that its a good thing Vancouver didn't click - it is a brutally expensive place to live - mostly because of the cost of a roof over ones head
Getting close to Wills big doings - looking forward to it & to seeing everyone then. Is Geoff still thinking of coming early or did working put an end to that?
