A little before 5 pm yesterday, I got this email from Boss #2. (Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)
( email )
Canada, huh? Much like the Norse, I have only made a few brief invasions into that frosty land and retreated quickly afterwards. Aside from Anime North, I really have no desire to go to Canada. I would be happy to live my life as a Texan, proud and ignorant of other cultures. If I come to understand Canadiens, I won’t be able to make jokes about them anymore, and then what?
Boss #2 offhandedly commented that it’s so cold there that ballpoint pens don’t work up there, as if to scare me off. I ain’t afeared. Just because I don’t want to go doesn’t mean I’m afraid.
I'm mildly annoyed that this might scuttle my con/cosplay plans but I'm used to this treatment by now. And anyways, I figure that between this Canada job and the England one (which I haven’t heard anything about for awhile), I’ve got double the chance of getting some solid, steady work for the near future. Personally I’d rather be on a ship in the North Sea sitting in front of a computer than frostbitten in a Canadian tundra, but I’ll take what I can get. To quote Flapjack, "Adventure’s the life for me!"
