In Ottawa the challenge is to find a company that isn't totally tied into the government. I mean this even for the private sector. When navigating the job market here, having a security clearance (ever-important when working with/for the gov't) almost seems as important as competence. Ok, maybe not really, but the ubiquity of government contracts is probably far different than many other places in Canada.

I suddenly wish I knew Ruby (and was otherwise even remotely qualified), if for no other reason than I really want to come home.

- Home is actually Kingston, but anywhere in non-BFN Ontario is acceptable to me. Halifax is far to far from home.

I like that ! :))
