    It's been an eventful few weeks for me. After a long time of feeling unsatisified with my work, it came to a head a few weeks ago when my boss and I had a conversation. She had heard I was looking for new work, and she had some issues with me as well (I was hired to do a specific set of tasks, which were completed - the job requirements changed into something that I wasn't particularly interested in, and hence, not very good at!). She encouraged me to pursue other opportunities, which I did.

    An opportunity presented itself - in my old home province, albeit in a different city.

    So, in about two weeks I will be relocating back to Alberta.

    I wasn't out in Alberta - my move to Ottawa was my opportunity to come out (which I did), and I'm a little nervous about going back to a province where for almost 30 years, people knew me as straight (or, at least, silent).

    Now, I have no intention of going back into the closet - I'm going to have the difficult conversations with people, and start off in the new city on the right foot. I'm feeling a little nervous about this, but I'm optimistic my coming out will be met with the same support it was out here.

    I'll let you all know how it goes - I hope I'm making the right choice to leave here.
