We're Moving!!

Updated: these are lies [these are explanations]

Big news: we're moving to Curacao! [eventually!]

My company recently merged with another one, and while we're the largest corporate training company in Canada we also have huge training responsibilities in the Carribean. Over the last year my boss has been handling all the sales, scheduling, booking and billing for all our training down there, but the new Board of Directors told her to get out of that area (she's the company's Vice President now). [unconfirmed, but I bet it's been suggested]

So anyway, she's decided we have enough business to open a branch office there, and they're sending me to run it! It's a huge change in responsibilities though -- no more managing the other instructors, and back to teaching Word level 1 and Excel level 1 pretty regularly, at least until we hire a few more people. But I think it's worth it, because we get to live here: [our instructors really do stay here]

(Breezes Resort, where they put up all the trainers that come down. It's all government-controlled, so they've got a sweet deal with the resort, and we'll live in the building at bottom left apparently.)

I was offered the job yesterday, so leapfish spent last night driving around in our weird rental car (two door orange Yaris) talking about it and trying to figure out if he can still do his Epi down there. In the end it came down to "is it better than Kitchener?" So here comes another adventure, I guess.

I better go call my parents. I wonder if they know where Curacao is? (I didn't!)

Also, just to head off the pronunciation frustration I know I will experience, it's pronounced "cure a sow". Yes, also the liquor.

Not really moving...

Only 32 minutes left in April 1st in EST, so I've updated my previous post a bit.
