Waiting..........

So I guess you're wondering why I'm still in Saskatoon updating this website when I said I would be up north working for Cameco by now. Well.......... I am working for Cameco, but apparently the "locals" up by where I am going are not allowing work permits for people trying to work on their land (there is a lot of red tape to wade through, so I'm told). After I had finished my orientation, first aid/CPR training, radiation training, and ATV training (I'm not kidding) I was scheduled to leave near the end of May for Cree Lake, where I would be collecting borehole seismic data. I have now been told that there is a "significant" delay in getting up there, so who knows when I may be leaving. Hopefully it's soon, I wasn't planning on living in S'toon (aka spending lots of money) for the whole summer.
On another note, my boss at work is really cool. He said I could go pretty much anywhere I would like to this summer, if the geophysics department is conducting surveys there, and that if there were any dates I needed off, we could work around it. So hopefully later this summer I will get to go to Nunavut to do a helicopter EM survey . Aside from that all I am currently doing is sitting in an office staring at a computer for most of the day, so hopefully things will fall into place.
