All these people were very professional and nice to me. Unfortunately, due to a recession I was laid off and moved on to find employment elsewhere. I consider Ellis-Don my favourite construction company. It is truly a dynamic environment at Ellis Don. -Click here for my performance appraisal. I worked hard at my construction job all night cleaning my office so it would be presentable for the new coordinator Paul Gamble. Then I drove on the 401 late at night sleepily and I hit a guard rail with my blue Z24 car, spun around and ended up perfectly parked on the shoulder. A man picked me up in his car with an amber dash and drove me to a variety store. I phoned the police who picked me up and I told them where my car was and the two police officers drove me home to London. While my car was repaired at Oxford Dodge Collision Centre on Oxford Street in London, I stayed at home for a week. I felt bad about missing a week of work. :-( I found it strange when the tow truck driver delivered my car to the shop with the license plate missing! I told Kieron Bayley that I was in a car accident and I had to get a new license plate. I can picture the guy who picked me up because I can remember things in colour graphically. He had long, just past shoulder length brownish, blonde hair, a small lipped smile, bluish-green small eyes, a slightly pointed nose and I believe he had a cowboy hat and he was tall and skinny. I remember his car was tan in colour.
