"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The Wacky Races
I've finally moved home permanently and man, the day to day grind is just boring as hell. Safe city, Safe job, boring life. I've settled into a trade job here but I just can't stand the silence. I started talking to some people and they suggested looking up companies that have projects in the Arctic Circle. Anywhere they are hiring HVAC / Electrical Techs / Truck Drivers / Heavy Equipment Operator would be up my alley.

I'm just wondering if you guys knew of any jobs that were really out there, I'm willing to do anything, work at heights or under pressure, I guess I need that fix. I figured anywhere in the extreme cold weather would be fun or in the middle of the ocean. My wife will follow me anywhere on Earth so that's not really a problem.

So far I've found NDE Irata Rope Access, or repelling off the side of an oil rig. Looks like fun.
Running the Ice Roads up north a bit.
Driving highway trains in Oz.
Repairing A/C at CFS Alert.
Working out of a Mine.
Repairing stuff on the Large Hadron Collider ( would love to do this ).

Does anyone know of any jobs/companies who have projects in extreme conditions?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Fire fight or ambulance paramedic. I'd personally love being a paramedic, or even a private investigator.
I work part-time for a PI firm mostly by helping with cases that are technical in nature that a bunch of old retired cops need a hand with. I wouldn't call it extreme work but it's certainly interesting and fun.
