Well, my last final exam is on saturday. If you remember I completed 8 months of co-op placement at Foreign Affairs Canada on Dec 31st 2004. I stayed in contact with the head Tech boss and it paid off.
He told me to send my CV to this women at an agency. So I had an interview with her today. She basically told me that the head boss specifically asked to have me work there on contract because I was bilingual. This is great for me since my wife's contract ran out at the end of Janurary and we are almost out of money.
I'll find out the length and pay hopefully this week.
Man I feel good. All my hard work and dedication paid off.

The job is interesting. I'll be a Tech which is what I wanted and what I did as co-op. If I'm hired as a employee of the Gov't, then they will post me abroad from 1-4 yrs at one of our emabassies.

Way to go Merlin. I guess you're bilingual from posting here on the board. So you speak Canadian and American now huh?

Yea, I JUST started my new job today. I get paid every two Friday's, I got 2 bucks in my account right now and an empty fridge and rent coming up. It's going to be a CLOSE on this month. I plan on losing some weight these next two weeks.
Ha, maybe if I could get "The Rock" to paypal me that money he owes me, that might help.
