Fish and the City
After six and a half years of school I figured I'd be asking a lot of strange questions. One thing I never thought I'd ask is 'how big is your fish?' I covered a fishing derby today, basically I took pictures of people with gross dead fish. Isn't my life exciting?
I miss the city. My life has never resembled Sex and the City, but it was nice to go out for drinks with friends on the weekend. I miss high heels, sparkly jewelry and eye makeup. Sounds cheesy and girly I know, but the longer I'm here in the sticks the more I realize I don't want to be here too long. It's not that I regularly got dressed up to go out in when I was in the city but at least I had the option. I'm sure someone is rolling their eyes saying 'gee Nic, why don't you get away from the computer and go out.' I would, but there really isn't anywhere to go and there's only so much time I can spend sitting in a bar alone trying to guess which people in the bar are the least sketchy.
I hope my next job is in a city, where people at least pretend to get dressed up for work and occasionally wear high heels because mine are getting lonely and dusty.

the city misses you too, but as deep fried said - hell if it isn't hellaciously hot right now.
You'll be back soon. Just do good work and you'll get back.
And knowing my luck, I'll be on the way out - possibly to take your job...
You can live with kara!
Someone should find me a hot private school snob...
Andrew, just because Alberta politicians are nuts doesn't mean the rest of the province is bad. But you wouldn't know that because you've never been there...
Hmmm... Anders, what I'd actually like to see is a rebuttal as to why the hell Alberta should stay, especially considering the rest of the country regards them as some sort of inbred laughingstock.
I can't imagine why their politicians aren't enamoured by a political system within which they have little control.
Someone out here should get on this whole Western alienation thing, because, forget Trudeau, it's been festering since Macdonald.
And Nicole... I hear you. But — huuuuge kudos for going there in the first place. That takes guts, more guts than most people I know have. With conviction like that, however, I have absolutely no doubt you're headed wherever it is you'd like to go. Pity the process is so little fun.
And, thirdly, Pete... I think your future is in feel-good, self-help columns. We all love you, too.
And, finally, Anders, see above for how to post a lengthy link into your posts.
Good day.
sparkly jewelry and makeup? i'm all over it! you must come back as i have been missing all that girly excitement. i've slowly been slipping back into my manly ways of not caring about personal appearance. that's not true, i showered this morning...
