Deadmonton? For now it seems...
Edmonton was always a temporary stop.... somewhere to live while in the transition period from Australia.Well... I seem to have found myself a new contract, a potentially very profitable contract. The only thing.... I have to be on site in Edmonton. I have work regular hours, commute to work, wear business casual, take one hour lunch breaks (instead of 3!).... etc. Life is coming to an end...
I've had a good run with my previous job though.. travelling all over the world while still working. I knew that sooner or later I would have to find a "real" position.... and now is the time. Edmonton though... damn. Not a bad city I suppose. Great running, good pools, even the cycling isn't as bad as I thought. The winter though.... the horrible prairie winter that I have done everything to escape since leaving SK. Calgary gets chinooks.... Edmonton gets six weeks below -20. oh joy.

Don't do it Greg...
Edmonton sucks.
Tony.
Get some good cash flow, buy a condo/townhouse/house whatever you can swing. Do your research and find the next "Marda Loop" about to happen up there and BUY!!!In a year or two walk away with 50 to 200g's in your pocket.
Don't kid yourself, you know winter sucks in Calgary too. Even a couple quick Chinooks can't hide the fact we live in Arctic Hell here in winter. (The summer has been great though). B.C. is where it's at.
Edm, Cal, Med. Hat, Leth, etc etc it's all the same, we get winter here, and winter sucks ass unless you live in Banff.
Three cheers for Global Warming...hip hip hooray!!
