Brrr ... Antarctica

Journalism job opening: See the dentist first - LA Observed

 

[Riptide]

Antarctica.

 

[ChrisLong]

My bad, fixed.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Yeah, but just think. You may get a penguin a scholarship.

 

[TigerVols]

I dunno but I bet this job would be fascinating and could lead to some great gigs. At the very least, would make for a cool book.

 

[HanSenSE]

Am I going to have to work those nights, even when they last 20 hours?

 

[Matt Stephens]

This sounds like a really cool job.

 

[lesboulez]

Can't go to the dentist or doctor, but you'll have to get insurance, damn obama

 

[Donny in his element]

Want.

 

[old_tony]

I wonder what the pay is.

 

[Vombatus]

They pay you in baby seal meat.

I applied to a job there once, for something not in journalism. It was a six-month gig, IIRC. Didn't get it, but when I was working at the ranch met one of the guys who worked with one of the operations there. Kind of random that he'd known the position to which I'd applied.

A cruise there is on my bucket list, but I had to postpone the one I'd planned in 2013 since my job offer came early. Was hoping to visit on my next tour, but it looks like I'll be farther away than I am now. Dammit. The money is still sitting in a CD. I've earmarked it.

"You only write about us when it drops below zero."

That's an awful lot of coverage.

The Navy Seabees used to have a low power nuclear reactor at McMurdo Station.

Not having much luck with Google StreetView.

Try Yelp.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Can you stay at the Holiday Inn there?

 

[ColdCat]

Try Yelp.

Oddly enough, nothing on Yelp, but if you use the business option on Google Earth, you find there is a bar there called 107. (I'm assuming this job is based at McMurdo.) One review says "Good drinks, good prices, but a little out of the way." Another recommends the nude canasta tournament on Tuesdays.

I assume shrinkage is to be expected?
