The Post-Dated Introduction

My first weekend at "home" - home alone... it feels good!  Today, is the first day I have too myself - no pending transactions, no pending tasks... just self - just peace :-)

Originally, I thought this blog should have taken on a new name...  but the GajCo-UK seems to embody it all - my train of thought, my aspirations, my desires!!

I remember Feburary 24th like it was yesterday... crystal clear.  wow, nearly two months ago - but it feels & seems like eons ago!!  In February, I was interviewing with two companies... One in Waterloo - the Other in GERMANY...  In Feburary, I was disrespected - after all the hardwork I put into other projects, community & social; and I seriously wanted to give several, to many people the *finger* !!!

In Feburary, I was ready to book a one way flight to London, England.... everything reserved, just required commitment.  My flight $410 off Bing Travel - departed on March 4th at 9:46 am from Person Airport...

THIS CLOSE!!  This close!!

It would have been an outstanding adventure - leaving with nothing but my knowledge, desire - and polished resume..

But I got the "call" ...  Waterloo wanted me - they had a potential offer lying on the table - to be formalized upon completing their final round of interviews...  The opportunity seemed golden - and it was one that I could not turn down!! Life would have been completely different if they had passed me by - neither good, nor bad - but different none the less...

Having accepted the job & working - I have learnt sooooo much!!  And yet, and over-whelmed by how much I have yet to learn... I am a newbie - far from it in this field of finance, but the opportunity to deliver & shine - is like no other...

England would have been gold - with a well diverse financial market, cute girls with accents & a home away from all the drama & bullshit people I have come to know in Toronto [ no offense ].  In my last few weeks in Toronto, I realized that my priorities, values & goals in life match those of no other...  It is why I have always had to fend for my own - there was rarely any people who stood by my side & saw the same vision as I had painted for myself!!

I have worked sooooo hard all my life - and now, it was time to reclaim!!
