Mont-Ray-Al!

So here I am in good old Montréal. I got here Sunday night and have been staying on the West End. Thankfully they didn't mess up my reservations this time so I had free access to high speed internet the entire time. Helps when I'm trying to set up meetings around here and receive files from home or from California.

Yesterday was a really good day. Had a meeting with a customer that went fairly well even though he did not sign out a cheque. I spent the afternoon setting up meetings for today and tomorrow, however, tomorrow is still pretty open. I would have done this last week, I mean should have done this last week, but as I was sick the week before and knocked out with a massive headache that week, I didn't set up as much as I wanted to. Damn.

Today I have 2 meetings in the afternoon, so I'll try to get at least one in this morning on the way there.

I met up with an old friend from my Toronto days last night. Genevieve. She was originally from here and has recently moved back. Much for the same reasons I find myself in NF. (working for family, Toronto doesn't have the right feel to it) It was good to see her and catch up. Her apartment has now raised the bar for what I'll be looking for in my next place. Huge and wide-open. My place sucks in comparison.

So we went out for dinner and coffee and traded stories. Overall it was a great night and I definitely plan on giving her a ring next time I'm in town too.

Also: thoughts of moving to Montreal have increased. This city has a much better feel to it than Toronto does, and I can't put my finger on it. It certainly isn't the drivers, since they're all worse than those in Toronto.

Anyways, tonight I'll be in Granby, my home away from home, and tomorrow I'll be in Québec City. Looking forward to that too.
