A reminder...

Just thought I'd offer up a reminder. Read More...

In camp.

No, not like this.

An oil sands 'camp' may be defined as (OPM) - In the last few years, some of Canada's biggest energy companies have spent tens of millions of dollars to build camps that are, by any reasonable definition, no longer camps. They are, instead, lodges - the best of which now fall somewhere between Club Med and a down-town condo - save, of course, for the industrial surroundings and petroleum-scented air.

What this means in part, is free room and board.

I have to say that so far, I am impressed.

I've my own 3pc washroom, desk and comfy chair, TV (meh) and teh 'net!
It's a queen size bed and deux pillows!!!
Laundry (free) facilities are 3 doors down from my room.
Had an awesome dinner (pasta, salad and SKIM MILK!!!)
Even got to make a lunch for tomorrow!

My walkabout allowed me to find the gym (open 24/7), cardio room and yoga studio.

Work is at 0700, and I'm up at 0415.
This allows me to get back in to my a.m. routine.

Am excited and looking forward to getting at it.
What can I say?

All in all, not too bad a setup. ;l Read More...
