Okay guys, I just found out that the provincial Wildland Firefighting authority is hiring seasonal wildland firefighters. Do you think I should apply? Relevant information:
The job pays about $15-16 an hour, plus remoteness allowance where applicable, most likely 40+ hours per week (1.5x for regular overtime, 2x for call ins). Most of the time I'll probably be on scene or in camp, and I'm fairly sure the employer provides sleeping/food arrangements.
For comparison, my current job pays about $21 an hour, pretty much only 40 hours per week. I have a $700/month single bedroom appartment, plus about $250/month in utilities.
I'm not specifically trained for wildland firefighting, but I do have 7 years experience as a volunteer firefighter (with certifications in Level 1 Firefighting, Vehicle Extrication, and Scene Management).
I'd most likely be gone from May until September, living in Mid or Northern Manitoba, running towards or away from Forest Fires.
I'm 6'1", and currently about 270 pounds. I can almost pass a packtest now (50lb pack, 5 Kilometers, 45 minutes) and am fully capable of dropping an additional 40lbs by May.
Thoughts?*

If you want to do it then do it. If you don't want to do it then don't do it.
[EDIT] Dammit Keith.
I don't have a good reason why not, i just like being contrary.
What do you do now? Are you a potato chip tester or something?
Follow me on Twitter??
I did in fact consider this.
I also considered that water is indeed wet.
also, that hot things burn skin.
this is important.
you are made of skin.
Best scheme ever.
Someone should do that.
Someone not me though.
South, West, or East side?
It is in fact owing to this fact and the fact that fires also BURN that I am incurably pyrophobic.
Follow me on Twitter??
live in the woods.
grow a massive mustache!
I most likely wouldn't be able to get my old job back, but because it is a seasonal job, when I get layed off in September I would fully qualify to collect Unemployment Insurance until I found a new job as a Network Admin, or my brother could probably get me a job as a Labourer for heavy construction.
or what should i have for lunch
should i wear matching socks
porn, or imagination

God this would last all of 3 days before we voted yes to "Surprise Sex" and our Guinea pig went to prison for 15-20.
All of them.
Of course whoever it is will have to be able to jerk it at least 40 times per day and will have to be gay or curious.
well, wouldn't you at least need a subforum for all the poll threads? i don't see that going over well.

Whoever's running the initiative would choose which decisions should be put to a vote. Some of them would be small and some of them would be big.
But yeah the feasibility of this would be pretty much nil.
Mostly this is a purely masturbatory idea as I just love the idea of running the initiative and in essence running someone's life. Bahaha.
Women.
Two years ago I dropped 60 pounds in five months, without altering my diet. My current weight has more to do with a sedentiary lifestyle and poor diet than anything else. I know I can safely drop the fat in that timeframe.
Feel free to elaborate on your first point, how you think it's not a good idea.
look at that fucking poster though
he is gonna tackle that fire
tackle it hard
Even Howie Long would agree.
