look out! a porpoise!

we're all moving to finland to become porpoise spotters. this is a good opportunity, people. they have teeny computers everywhere over there, and they're far too small and polite to invade other countries.

eeee!

I love jobs where the prospect of not doing anything is high.

I'm so in.

i'm drafting a letter to the finnish ministry of agriculture and forestry right now.

i am intriguing and terrifying.

I believe that Finland is ranked as the most corrupt country in the world. It also sounds like a weirdass conservative wasteland from what I've heard of it.

What the hell have you heard? They're socialist!

[saaramyrene]

that's interesting. who have you heard about finland from? because, based on the 2-3 months i spent there, it didn't seem especially conservative at all. they have more single/stay-at-home fathers than any other place i've been; they all (including many of the christians) found the idea of illegal abortion ludicrious (to the point of laughing at me when i brought it up); they have numerous active left-wing political parties (way more than we have here, and they're well represented in office); and they love their lady president. the women tend to be the sexual aggressors, too

2-3 months?!! I thought it was more like 2-3 years!

[mandroid2000]

I meant conservative in the attitudes of the people, not "Conservative" politically.

[saaramyrene]

which attitudes are you referring to?

i will go. i am unemployed now. it seems like a good opportunity and i could use a serious break from this country.

[saaramyrene]

bitchin' (not on the unemployment tip). i'll keep you updated as to our eligibility.
