Minor Peronsal Update the Second

Just heard back from a software development job in Fredericton: I am to expect an offer of employment to show up no later than Monday morning for a position commencing Wednesday morning.

It's only a 6-month contract to start with, but I've been told there's a good chance of a permanent position before the contract has expired.  The pay's also a bit less than the job offer I turned down in Edmonton, but won't require me to spend an arm and a leg on rent.
