That's the catch phrase of living in Alberta.
Three days in the job and I think that I may like it. Well other than the fact that there is a wind chill warning out there, -44 C in the wind and you freeze in minutes. Well I might go out in the field tomorrow and all I am praying for is a nice comfortable run where I get bored to death sitting in the nice and warm truck.
Haven't had a chance to talk to any of the other people from NEST or OFS but I'll get around to it soon enough. I finally break though in the food and the pay departments. Tomorrow I get to see my first salary and tonite I stocked up on breadbuttereggs. I'll start off slowly in the cooking department, a few basic scrambled eggs and toasts, nothing more than mixing and heating initially, but I do plan to expand my kitchen during or after the school period. There's an Indian groceries store in Calgary and it is pretty well stocked up.
One thing that's most bothersome yet exciting is that you are surrounded by all these new people, an entirely different culture, whether it's India and abroad, thus a chance to start life afresh, mould it in a different style each time, explore a different facet and there is always something unique about it each time. Perhaps it is because I grew up in such an environment that I really like travelling, staying put at anyplace for longer than a couple of years, not my cup of tea. Well better turn in now or I'll be cursing myself in the morning. I just hope I don't get called to a job in the middle of the night... I won't be able to answer the phone!
