I went to the interview yesterday, and I am happy to say I was pretty much hired on the spot. I have taken them up on the offer and will be joining the OpenRoad Auto team by late Aug.

Now the monumental task of telling my boss about this news on Tuesday and give him my 2 weeks. Sigh... I have actually never quit a job before, so this is actually pretty nerve racking haha.

As for not wanting to leave Vancouver, unfortunately for me, that is not an option

1) my parents and my inlaws have 0 English skills, yes. 99% of things can be done in Chinese here, but the last 1% (like returning calls to specialist from doctor referrals, going with them to the Emergency room at the hospital, calling in repairs for shaw/telus/fortis/hydro, filling out all sorts of forms such as passport renewal and shit, something as simple as setting up Covid shots and getting the QR code as their phone lock screens) is all pretty much 100% on me.

2) The Chinese community, our diet is 100% asian at home, though i sneak out with the kids for "white food" loool. I am sure there are plenty of Chinese food/markets on the island. But the selection and accessbility of the Chinese food/items here is unparalleled.

#2 can be okay, even if we just make a trip once a month to the lower mainland and fill up our freezers, but reason #1 is pretty much carved in stone. There is no way around it, my in laws have 2 other daughters, but my parents only have me. So yea, basically my mom calls, and I show up LOL. Though my parents are super understanding, they don't call me unless their pants are on fire and I actively tell them that I am their son, it is my obligation and pleasure to help them. But my dad gets scolded by my mom everytime he calls me for help lol smh...

So yea =)

Have a nice long weekend everyone.

which brand will you be working for under OpenRoad ?
