I received a phone call earlier this evening pertaining to my job application with Kiewit in Calgary. I received an offer, and I start whenever I want. I get to choose between Calgary and Edmonton with moving expenses paid. For the first time of my life, I’m considering purchasing a vehicle. I’m thinking about finally being able to pay off my debt. How much I’ll miss my family, not to mention pets.
I was told by the recruiter to take a vacation between before I start work. Therefore, I think Heidi and I are going to spend a week somewhere near the equator, and then maybe making a detour to NYC, before I move away in February. She’ll join me about a month or two later. This company has a reputation for being demanding of its employees, and it’ll be a good idea to relax a bit.
Speaking of relaxing…I can’t sleep for the life of me.
i know nothing about kiewit, is it something you’ve always wanted to do?

I understand how families are able to bear being apart… by the feeling of PRIDE for their loved ones achievements!!!!

I agree with the rumours, that they will work you very hard! You will make good money and then can go elsewhere! Just make sure Heidi is happy while you are at work all the time and you’ll survive! :) I know some engineers that work out of Vancouver. I do wish you a great vacation and am excited you are coming closer to the no man’s land! One good tip of advice – make sure that you move as much as Heidi’s stuff as you can – b/c it’s FREE!
