I couldn't really say anything before because it wasn't official. But it's official now, so here goes:
Nobody go to the movies this weekend!
Here's the long story. My new manager wants his new team to meet to kick off the new project. There's me in Calgary, a guy in Montreal and another in New York. The manager had already a trip to Montreal planned for next week, October 6th and 7th, so he figured we could all meet there. Great, I thought, a free trip to Montreal!
So I started looking into how possible it is. Before I could get a final answer, the manager came back and said that the New York guy can't make it so we now all have to go to New York on October 10th and 11th. That sucked.
As I was checking the flights from Calgary to New York, I noticed that all of them stop either in Toronto or Montreal. So I figured "what's the difference between a one hour layover in Montreal and a couple of days layover in Montreal?" The answer: 192$ cheaper to spend four days there.
So I decided to combine the two: I now have a flight from Calgary to Montreal on October 5th and another from Montreal to New York on October 9th.
I will be in Montreal next weekend!
So everybody must now wait for me so we can see the movie together!
I will be working both weekdays in the Compuware offices (downtown Montreal), but I do have those nights available. Plus Saturday and Sunday until noon-ish. I don't think I'll have the time to drive over to Sainte-Agathe to see the folks, but there is an Electrifying Baby I'd love to meet!
