So we’ve finally come to the concluding point regarding where we’re going. We’re going to stay in Fort McMurray. After a lot of crap around the whole decision, minor things like actually having someone say to your face, “We really want you to be here,” for the sake of being able to move forward and a little personal sanity (for more than just myself of course) I drove the issue to a decision point.
We’ve a renegotiated contract to go with the deal so that will help ease the burden somewhat, though the real effort is of course, now attaching ourselves to the emotional component of the decision and making the most of our opportunity.
Ideally the best thing to help us to stay here would have been additional leave to enable us to take better advantage of the opportunity to travel, but the implications of driving such a bargain to the rest of the workforce meant that it was an unrealistic goal (though one I’ve planted seeds of elsewhere …). So the next task at hand is to put together the travel plan for the next 3 years (which is already down to 2 years and 7 months) so that we have things to look forward to when we’re feet deep in snow.
