Putting mapleleaf4ever on Ice...

[mapleleaf4ever]

Well once again I'm packing my shit and moving for a great job.

Where you ask? (Or not, but screw you too Hippy! :nuts:) None other than the great bustling metropolis of Iqaluit, Nunavut.

The fresh air... umm... northern lights (the non-smokeable kind) and umm... whale blubber?

Ah well; they're paying for my food and apartment and in 8 months the company is covering my Commercial Pilot training.

Can't really complain.

Remember the show North of 60? Well I'll post pics and let you know how it'll be.

I should be touching down by the 20th of this month.

[zarlon]

that's actually really neat, and something probably pretty unique - i doubt a lot of people get iqualit job offers.

good luck!

[penguinabc123]

way to go erik! hopefully you can fly yourself out west for once to visit eh?

best of luck!

[mapleleaf4ever]

^ Yeah, they'll fly me back to civilization every few months.

Although I'll have to divide my time between Vancouver and Toronto.

gah, i cant help but ask.....

[galaxie]

Don't worry Marty, come on up. We'll throw a party.

Then we can say that there'll be the best DJ Talent in the Arctic!

Don't forget your Longjohns.

Iqaluit, Nunavut - Google Maps

Check it out, there's actually a road called "Road to Nowhere" and guess where it goes...

I won't ruin the surprise... you look for yourself. (And surprisingly it doesn't end in Whalley)

[miss.myra]

going up north to cash in on the sweet sweet northern allowance?

it's probably not so bad there in the summer months

[mapleleaf4ever]

^ My salary is going to be better than Northern Allowance. That's just an additional bonus.

I've also got a good Friend that I worked with in Vancouver is a Pilot for them. So I've got someone to shotgun Beers with when I get a day off. :)

The peak temperature in July is about 15 degrees... but there's also like 280h of sunlight too.

[mapleleaf4ever]

Holy fuck... 8 days... 7am departure...

[Spoon]

So you moving all your stuff or just the essentials? A co-worker just got a contract up there 28days on and 10 off and is planning to keep his house here in the south.

Good luck man, i only have another 17months to go till i can return to civilaztion.

[oddmud]

wicked man, good luck!

[prozac]

I just learned how to pronounce Iqaluit recently....I have a client who flies out that way a fair bit...good thing your employer is paying for flights cus that shit is not cheap...
