Pictonary!

The social committee today arranged an Ottawa office meet and greet (where they got the people from both offices together).  It was very fun, had a big pizza lunch and beer which was a great bonding experience.  They had a fantastic idea for a fun activity…  they grabbed all the management people that were there (there were approximately eight of us at the lunch) and they made us compete against each other (two teams of four) in doing a few rounds of Pictionary with technical words.  Badly interpreted drawings of words like “spam”, “firewall” and “source safe” made for great laughs for all.  Overall, a very well executed social event.

Citzenship

Landed in Ottawa today and went promptly to the British High Commission.  First thing was being questioned heavily by the main gate guard, but once he heard what I was doing and whom I was meeting it was through security (leaving belongings behind).  Waited to turn in my UKM application form along with showing Mom’s expired UK passport, full birth certificate, my full birth certificate and my passport.  Whole process took about 15 minutes once the person showed up (Claire McKeown) and in about 3 months apparently I’ll likely be a citizen of Britian.
