Moving
So, I've been working on various things to get ready to move. It turns out moving to a foreign country, even if it is "just" Canada, takes paperwork. The immigration lawyers sent the list of documents requires plus several forms to fill out. Then there are the discussions with my apartment's management company about ways to get out of my lease early. And the research on buying a car. I still need to get a reference for, and talk to, an accountant to deal with tax issues.
Of course, on top of all of this, I'm getting more and more requests for work related stuff. Travel for sales, organizing field training, work with marketing, business development, and other groups. And, making sure the mundane things are done. Laundry, dry cleaning, shopping, and packing are topping the list.
This will slow done some. SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 will launch, the real estate stuff will get resolved, and I will get the paperwork to the lawyers. But, most importantly, I'll get moved. I know I'll be a lot less stressed after I move, and I suspect this will make me much happier. Soon, soon, but not soon enough.
