"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
