Sauna Sundays

Back when i was travelling, i had lots of time to think about various things...everything really. Sometimes i would even come to a decision about something that i promised myself i would do when i got back to the real world. So i kept a list of completely random plans for the future. One of them was to go to the sauna a least once per week. I think i came up with this one during my daily visits to saunas in Budapest. You really feel amazing after you spend a couple hours soaking in the bubble baths and sweating in the steam rooms. So a few weeks ago i got a membership at a nice gym close to my work, and in addition to working out during the week, i use the sauna on Sunday evenings. It's a great and relaxing way to finish the weekend (actually, i look forward to it all week). Try it, you'll be hooked!

1/2 year on the job & christmas plans

Six months have come and gone, feels like just yesterday when i joined the company. I'm really happy with all that i've accomplished here in such a short time...everyday has been exciting and challenging. That's the great thing about working for a small company, responsibility piles up real fast...no need to wait for yearly reviews or for some senior guy to step aside. At the moment for instance my development team is working on 5 parallel projects, each with their own requirements, resources and deadlines! Plus ive started the Waterloo Co-op program (we've secured a superstar intern btw) in addition to regular hiring. So much happening i've been looking forward for some R&R during christmas. Yes, i'll be in TO for christmas (23-30), so if anyone wants to get together, just send me an email or call my home number 905 773 5454.

A couple pics from poland

Had a great time with anna in poland. Like i mentioned earlier, pimp apartment attached to a 4 star hotel for 35 euros per night. Also had my first professional massage...as expected, relaxing.
