"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
