Holy Hell! I can't believe it's been 3 months since my last post. A lot has changed...where to begin?
Well, the mister and I have moved to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. I guess we've been here about 2 months already! I'm working as a Public Service Librarian at the Yellowknife Public Library and I'm really liking the job. Being the youngest staff member and the supervisor is a bit tricky in that I don't think I'm getting any respect from the employees that have been there 17+ years (more than half of my lifetime). My manager is awesome so that helps a lot!
Life up here is definitely different. Today the temperature was -35 degrees with the windchill. The sun set at 3:30pm. We've had snow on the ground for almost 6 weeks now. The biggest city near us is Edmonton and that is an 18 hour drive from our little city of 20,000 people (half the population of the entire Territory).
In other news, the apartment we have is very nice and very expensive but life up here is very expensive in many respects. We won't be going anywhere for Christmas and we don't plan on leaving the territory until April or May.
Well, that was my factual update. I hope to update more often and provide more than just a list of facts. I tend to spend a lot of time updating my Facebook page and little on anything else.
