Weeding through the Bullsnot

I'll keep that in mind, I know logging is a much tougher job and that doesn't scare me... But I've seen several folks on the forums advise against logging for newer guys. My guess would be conditions of the "roads" you're driving on. Trying not to completely trash my record. Lol

That being said... I've already seen two job postings going between that area and those mills. And that was in the first 3 pages.

...I drove in Calgary once in a 4-wheeler. If you know where you're going I suppose it isn't so bad. But I hated it... Driving Atlanta streets is by far worse because they aren't marked as clearly, but the number of one-way roads that changed during the day would drive me batty!

 

I love terminology from industries... It's so much fun to learn stuff as a whole. Some of the terms you wonder how they came up with.

Unfortunately, I don't speak logging.

Google on the other hand, does.

...the, "falling off a mountain" bit is giving me some trouble.

Nah, I like to learn and I have zero problem with hands on training. (Little more difficulty if you toss a textbook at me, but eh.)

I'll keep that in mind as I job search. I'm more concerned about rough terrain over falling off a mountain. I have a little more control over whether or not I fall off a mountain is the only reason.

 

If I recall the immigration laws correctly, I don't "need" a sponsor.

Proof of steady job is enough to grant a visa. After you've been there long enough, you can file for citizenship.

Having a sponsor helps very much with acceptance and paperwork.

I know I don't have to live inside Calgary. In fact, I refuse to. Give me a place where I can sip on a cup of tea, eat dinner or relax outside and enjoy the mountains, trees and so forth and I'm a happy camper.

 

I heard a redneck joke about that once...

You might be a redneck if you've ever shot a deer from your bathroom window.

And you can shoot a gun in your yard now! Just gotta hide it before anyone shows up to investigate!
