Del Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 After much debate I have decided to move back to SoOn... I hope to be back down there ASAP, but there are a few things I have to work out... I'm looking to move to either Hamilton or the GTA west of Toronto (Oakville, Burlington, etc.) I don't think I could handle living in Toronto, although if the right situation came up I might consider it... Basically I'm wondering if anyone knows of any job openings down there... Preferably warehouse type stuff... I drive a forklift for a living up here and am hoping to do something similiar down there... Of course I'm checking all the usual websites (HRDC Job Bank, etc.) but was hoping someone knew of something coming up so I could get a resume to them...My other concern is finding a place... This will, of course, depend on when and where I find a job, but I will be on the lookout for accomodations in the very near future... Has anyone seen or heard about some relatively cheap places to check out in the areas I mentioned above? I know Oakville and Burlington can be pricey, as well as Mississauga (a city which I hope to never have to live in again) and Toronto, but I hear Hamilton can be relatively decent... Don't get me wrong, Ottawa is a great town and I've enjoyed my time here. I just feel as though it's time for me to move back down there... Ever since I came up here I somehow knew I'd end up back in SoOn... There's no particular reason I'm choosing to leave Ottawa, it's just a feeling I've had for awhile and I figure now is the time to act on it... I've lived in Ottawa for a year now, seen what the city has to offer and genuinely enjoyed it. But I belong in SoOn... Any help or advice that anyone has would be greatly appreciated... I look forward to partying with you kids again real soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 You'd make more money in Toronto given the housing/condo/office tower and hotel building boom going on now and in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm licensed to drive a small indoor forklift at a warehouse, not the big industrial ones... I'm also licensed to drive a clamp truck used to lift rolls of paper (like at a web press)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 shame we won;t share the same city together Del....I hope you never took my 'kick your ass; break your nose' comments seriously. I get mouthy when I drink. But I've never hurt anyone irreparably.anyway, best of luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'm licensed to drive a small indoor forklift at a warehouse, not the big industrial ones... I'm also licensed to drive a clamp truck used to lift rolls of paper (like at a web press)...So then you're not really a forklift operator.

Del Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Fine - lift truck operator... Since when are you so technical? Anyways I'm licensed, so that should help in my job search... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organicmama Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I'd say Hamilton would be your cheapest bet out of those choices-maybe not the nicest though! But what's nice about any city really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 This EOn* kid's going to be bummed you won't be around, and will probably be in a serious world of hurt the afternoon after the going-away party, but I'm glad you think you've found a way to get to be where (geographically and metaphorically) you want to be.Aloha,Brad* Analogous to "SoOn" as a short form for "Southern Ontario", I offer up "EOn" as a short form for "Eastern Ontario".

bouche Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hey Del, I hope you realize all the Dell bashing the other day was about www.dell.com I can't imagine what would make anyone want to leave Ottawa....unless....fear of Calamity Jane?

\/\/illy Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 I can't imagine what would make anyone want to leave Ottawa... Have you ever lived anywhere else?! That's the problem with you Ottawa folk. I mean, it's a nice city and there's lots of nice folk living there but, it's just Ottawa; there's nothing really exceptional about it. Come back to Hamilton Del; we'd love to have ya back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
