DAY 2 & 3

Not huge amounts to report.  Have spoken on the phone several times now.  Mike has passed his medical / physical, and he passed his driving test (did we ever have any doubts!)  Apart from sounding a wee bit homesick, he is very enthusiastic about everything.  I guess today has been a lot of 'instruction'.  He said he hasn't had to learn so much since he was in high school.  He is extremely impressed with their stress of safety.  I think a lot of his fears are being alleviated every time they go over a new piece of information.  He will likely be hauling fuel, so he is getting his dangerous goods and getting special training in that.  I'll keep you posted!   x0x


 

the Great Northern Adventure... 

DAY 1

Fetching the parking tickets.  Got 2 tickets, guess we needed 4.  When Rick and I got back to the truck, the tow truck guy was looking at the car.  He was nice though.  No parking fine.  yay!
Sitting in lounge waiting to go.
Mikey!
I will be putting scans of the actual scribblings up.  They're in my purse and I don't feel like firing up the scanner tonight.
The glass in the door was so thick we couldn't hear a thing, so we wrote notes and held them up to the glass!
You can see Mike half way up the stairs boarding.
 
bye bye...  =(

Will send more as they become available.
Talked to Mikey on the phone tonight, he already sounds homesick.  Will update you  tomorrow eve when I talk to him to find out how day one of work went.

If any of you want to send a hello to Mikey, feel free to email it to me, I will print them up and send them to him once he's North, and I know where/how to reach him.
