Interesting Times

Transposed from an older blog


Lots of interesting opportunities passed my way today.

A week os so ago I got an email about volunteer opportunities in Northern Finland at the forest rescue station. I have been thinking about it ever since, as some of the listed required skills I'm not sure I have. Especially 'experience in harsh environments' and 'expereince with using IT in the field'. But then again it looks like a wonderful, if very cold opportunity, and I can't imagine that there are many other people out there with the required skills, so it must be worth a shot at applying.

Then I got an email about a job at GPI which looks like something I would be very good at. In fact it looks like a job I already do, as a volunteer, but getting to do it full time, which has to be a plus. Again got to be worth applying.

So interesting times ahead, which almost make up for the 2 hours I spent typing names, phone numbers and emails into a spreadsheet as part of the feedback process from the Polling day Saturday before last. My eyes are now wierd from staring at computer screens, and my back hurts from being hunched over a crappy laptop.
