Season of chances

The title although quite vague, seems to explain what I feel.

So a lot of random yet wonderful things have happened in the past week and I want to share these crazy and random stories.

So it all began last Sunday, I was showing a friend around Toronto and I took him to the O&M building, we stood there for 10 minutes talking about my job strategy and my communication with them. On our way out, I bumped into the person who interviewed me! on a Sunday, how random is that! I didn't say hello at the time and I have been kicking myself for it ever since. But I did send her an email and she replied, my heart soared and there was a huge smile pasted on my face all day.

Then on Thursday I went for drink with the work crew, and first of all I should mention this is an awesome place in the heart of downtown, off to the east. I wind my way through the entire place and past a few bars, and land up at the table. I greet all the VPs of the company and they put me in charge of getting the shots, reasoning that I was the youngest of the group and the last out of university. I agreed and on my way to the bar, I thought I saw someone I know out of the corner of my eye. I wasn't sure, so I finished my thought with my boss and turned around and said his name, audible but just not. He turned around and it was him! I was wondering who is screwing with me but he was sitting at the next table. It was great, I got the chance to see him, in the most random fashion. Meeting him refilled me with all the ideas I learnt at the event I met him at. I played the host and served others. As my reward, I got to spend some valuable private face time with the leaders in my business. This is valuable because not only did I learn about how they work and how they got there, I got to express my desires to them.

And the cherry in my drink, was that the next day I continued my rock music conversation with the VP.

What a great week!!! How was yours?
