I'm in Ottawa. Teaching for Polar Bear (my company). It's weird. You know how maritimers complain about upper canada being all snotty and less friendly? It's true. I've never noticed it this much because until now I'd always been coming home to visit friends and family. Here I'm at an office where I know nobody. The office is nice, much larger than ours in Halifax, but also much more secure. To get to important and interesting areas (sales, operations staff) you have to go through a combination-locked door, so I actually haven't met many people yet. Plus my books are late, and I'm on edge being in a different office. In Halifax I have power, knowing how to do stuff that nobody else knows, but here I'm expendable -- so I have to do well and show off! :-) So it should be quite the day.
