I accepted an offer for a position at The CBC on Thursday, August 21st, so starting September 8th I’ll be working there as an Associate Producer of online content. The opportunities that present themselves just by virtue of being in the building are incredible, and I feel fortunate for having been given the chance to show what I can do within and for the company. It’s a big step up for me from working as a Webcast/Multimedia Producer for CNW, where I’ve been working for just over 3 years after having moved to Toronto from Montreal.

When I arrived I was working at The Disney Store at the Eaton Center, so this CBC gig really does make me feel like I made the right decision in forcing my wife to come to Toronto with me. Sure, I had to sedate her with some barbiturates and tie her her hands behind her back to make sure she made the trip to the big smoke with me, but with this new job I think I can finally untie her and let her see some sunlight without worrying that she’ll flag down a cop car.

Thanks to Guin for the big ups- they certainly didn’t hurt my chances!
