59/365
Today was a day tasks. Some new tasks, like getting the horses in from the rain all by myself. Twice. Some ol' fashin work tasks, like drywall repairs in Stacey's bathroom. A few classic tasks I should always do anyway, like shoveling and doing the dishes. And an exciting task that few people can say they've ever done, like prepping my resume to apply for a job on Antarctica—the available jobs will start being posted online tomorrow.
It seems appropriate to be starting the Antarctica process on a weather canceled work day. That's how Madison began as well. Work was canceled because of weather so I sat at home drafting a cold e-mail to the AMC..."I am writing to enquire about the possibility of joining the AMC construction crew that will be renovating the Madison Hut this coming fall and spring..." A formal begining to what would become a very infomall application process. I had a lot to learn about the AMC, but it worked. Less than two months later, I was living and working at the hut.
I expect the Antarctica process to be much more formal. Many hoops to jump through, applications to fill out, background checks, drug tests, medical, dental a
For now, it's exactly a month, four weeks, until our scheduled airlift to Madison. I doubt we'll fly on schedule, we never do, but it's a date to shoot for. And I've been told that I might just get airlifted up myself, beer, tools and all (they said that last time too though).
