Well, eight months after arriving in Saskatoon, looks like it’s time for me to leave. I’m packing up today and moving tomorrow. Which is great, because it’s for reasons I’ve spent the last eight years working towards.

However, with this new job, social media is pretty much on lockdown, as far as I’m aware, which means my Oppo time will go from plenty to pretty much zero. So, with that, it looks like I’ll be on a six month hiatus from here. I just wanted to say thanks for the decent times, for all the people I’ve met through this site, and for in general putting up with my nonsense for the last six-ish years.

Anyway, I’ll be on for the rest of the day, but tomorrow, I’ll be gone. As always, keep it real, and keep your stick on the ice. I’m pulling for you, we’re all in this together.

Damn, you can’t even post here at all, even if it’s about non-job related stuff? Or you just won’t have time to post here? Sad either way, as we’ll miss seeing you around these parts....please come back every so often! :)

Hope you could at least post on weekends! Where are you moving to? Good luck! :D

So long and thanks for all the fish. I’m sure that will be a way to read and post every once in a while. My cousin is a Navy spook and she is off the grid for a while but will back online once her training is over with.

Down to Regina, and my weekends are going to be pretty packed as well.

Some would argue that me not posting will improve the quality of Oppo.

I won’t have time/my internet activity may or may not be monitored. Either way, I’ll have more pressing things to handle.

Off to Regina, and thanks!

Thanks! And Oppo is eternal, just like the bad decisions we make here.

There might be, but better to be safe than sorry.

And yeah, I’ll be back eventually. As long as Oppo doesn’t get removed from the internet.

That, and it’s my own personal discretion about priorities and professionalism.

It falls under that umbrella in my opinion. Better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks! I’m heading down to Regina. For the sake of my employer and me, I’m not comfortable with disclosing what for.

Ah ok. Your post wasn’t very detailed about the job so I figured you’d just be more busy. If you’re always on the clock I understand.

I have a friend who is a midwife in Regina. That place looks fucking cold.

I spent my winter in Saskatoon, which isn’t much better. But you learn to live with -45.

Ok, enjoy working for CSIS lol. We’ll miss you

CB > CarsofFortLangley - Oppo Forever 03/17/2018 at 17:09

Nah, not CSIS. If that were the case, I wouldn’t even be making a post, because I’m pretty sure the hiring process includes putting you in the back of a van in the middle of the night, giving you new ID cards, and moving you to the other side of the country.

I work for a factory and this falls under social media. So it definitely would for a place like (redacted).
