I work in construction and when I was younger and single I did a couple years ago a remote work site; two weeks on and one week off rotations. We all stayed in the company provided camp while there. Definitely formed some strong friendships with my coworkers while there and made/saved a ton of money. It was an interesting experience.

I was a field engineer but jobs in the trades are always in high demand pretty much everywhere.

I make butter chicken from sometimes but if I’m doing a “too lazy to cook” version it’s with jarred sauce and leftover rotisserie chicken.

My dad has a gun licence (Canadian) and interestingly, he mentioned there was a place in the application where your spouse (and/or former spouse) must sign off on your application too. I can see how that might hinder a few violent exes.

The hormones really carry you through. Lol. And at least it’s relatively short with a positive end goal.

I often just cook the beans in a slow cooker on low overnight. No soaking necessary.

Yeah, I know little of IT (as I’m a mech engineer, in construction) but find the story telling to be so good it’s one of my favorite podcasts.

Yeah, this is probably the highest educated genre by necessity.

Currently on maternity leave here in Canada. It’s 17 weeks of maternity leave but then followed by parental leave that can be taken by you or split with your spouse for the rest of the year. It’s only 30% of my regular salary but it’s something. I also have the option to reduce payments and spread them out over 18 months.
