My Job Journey
Jul 1st
Recently I decided it was likely time to move on from my current job as IT Manager/Director at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. It’s a really decent job where I actually do what it sounds like I do. Great team as well. But, after 4 years here, I think I may have possibly outgrown it a little.
So, I’ve started the long process of looking for a new job. I’m not in a hurry, so I’m trying to “do it right” and learn a few things along the way. Yesterday, my birthday, I realised that a little journal of the things I learn along the way would likely help me out, and perhaps help others out.
So, as I realise and learn things I’ll post them here, hopefully they’ll be useful to someone else as well.

Though you don’t have to, I would strongly suggest it as you could have quite the nifty little craft project by the end of this piece! (more…)
