After a combination of a series of layoffs/GTFOs, a former colleague thought I’d be good at writing proposals. So I applied for a position and got hired I’ve been there over 3 years.

I’m remembering the guy in my old neighbourhood who could be heard and seen pushing around a grocery cart filled with bottles he’d take to the redemption centre. But what I really remember is the typically imaginative nickname he was given by Saint Johners: “Bottle Man.”
