Sent Packing

Well - they've sent me home.

I was only in Canada on a three-month work permit, with the intention of renewing it for an extra year. I found out that the renewal was rejected, and now I'm back home.

Very happy to be home again with friends and family (and my wonderful wife), but there will be parts of Canadian life I will miss.

I guess all I have left to say is G'Day - and where's the shrimp?

(is it too much to expect that I receive copious "welcome back" beers only two months after receiving copious "farewell" beers? )

Mate - my COBOL output was never in question. You better recognise my IDENTIFICATION DIVISION biznitch!

Love the pic - but looks like they don't like hotlinking - so I'll upload it.
