The Job hunt

ON the plane some told me that anyone who wasn't working after one day in Iqaluit is considered lazy. Well, more then a week later I am still on the hunt. I rather like hunting because it has allowed me walk around the city numerous times, I feel like my orientation has improved quite a bit since my first day when I took a cab to the nearest pay phone or map (the map in the airport was blocked by 60 people waiting for departure...)though I haven't figured out where the sun rises. It does drop below the horizon at around 11pm and it is light enough to read in my room with the blinds shut at 1am so it must not have far to go before it rises again, I'll get back to you dear readers on this one.
Mainly I have targeted: government jobs (municipal and federal but not territorial); service jobs, hotels and the like; Northmart, one of the grocery stores; a day care; and construction companies. I am also looking for places to house sit. On this front I have had a good response, in fact I am moving out of Brian's Thursday morning! Also, Captain has gone on vacation for the summer and he has given Brian and I a bunch of food so i am not going hungry or anything.
Lastly, I wanted to announce that I do not have TB, but I am still awaiting my criminal record check results and then we'll see if I can work at the city's day camps.
