Break A Leg

March 2008 to April 2009 was not a lot of fun.

March 2008 Resigned at firm that treated my like family and that I loved working at for 11 years.

April 2008 Started at new firm and am excited about the prospects of business going forward.

May 2008 Closed on new and moved into an amazing house in Stittsville. We got so lucky with the neighbourhood, couldn't have asked for anything better.

As we are re-papering all 1400 clients in the office, the building that we had called home for 6 years gets sold and new owner gives everyone 30 days to get out. (have you tried to find, outfit and move all services for a business in 30 days IMPOSSIBLE)

June-October 2008 Study and writ exams like crazy as well as searching and finding office space but having difficulty get the landlord to finalize lease..

November 2008 Start of a major market melt down, biggest in 70 years.

January 2009 FINALLY move into new office space.

Feb 22nd 2009 Broke leg playing hockey, yep and in the last week of RRSP season.

March 2009 The markets had started to recover but instead turn week again and test and in some cases beat November lows. World is coming to an end.

April-Present Alas world is not coming to an end and markets have been on a tear.

The leg is fine, the family is great, let's get to work!
