Things might be looking up

I've written on here bitching about my job a few times. Since I left the US 3 years ago skydiving is a rare novelty for me, and when I do jump it's kinda depressing how much my skill has gone down and knowing that it'll be forever before I can jump again. I've been looking for a new job but there's a few factors...Mainly that the market is shitty and pickn's are slim. I'd prefer to go to the US but unless I get a transfer with the company, it'd be pretty much impossible to find a company that's willing to sponsor me for a visa. I don't have anything against going back to Canada, except it's TOO FUCKING COLD.

Today a work friend called me and said that they're expanding the support division that he manages and I should 'keep an eye out for the job posting and put in your application'. It's super early to get my hopes up, but I've got a smile on my face anyways
On Monday I'm going up to Canada for some training and I'll be in the same office as my friend's boss (who I used to work for before I left Ft. Worth) and I hope I'll be able to feel out the situation a little better.

The thought of working less than 60 hours a week and not spending 70% of my time living in hotels is pretty frick'n sweet! Not to mention having Skydive Dallas as a home DZ again! I'm not sure about a desk job, but I figure sitting still for 8 hours beats running around like crazy for 12 every day.

I need some VIBES please

I got nuthin

Good luck.

By the way, it is supposed to snow up this way today (Calgary got hit yesterday) so good call on trying to relocate back to Texas.

I also dont miss the 60-70 hour weeks and the constant hotel rooms/restaurant food.

Have a great one,

Cheers Phil!

If I do end up moving back to the US, we'll have to arrange another Keith's run for the next Eloy trip!

I'm planning on getting to Edmonton in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Are you guys flying, or is Westlock? Not sure if it's worth hauling my rig up there.
