Where?

Well, this is a little weird.

Jim and have been doing this long-distance relationship thing for over two years now. I live in Ottawa; he lives three hours away in Peterborough. I've been looking for a job in Peterborough for nearly a year now, with little success (as evidenced by the fact that I still live in Ottawa). Peterborough isn't exactly a major metropolis--finding work there is tough for everyone, never mind those of us who are living in a different area code.

I had a call from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources today saying that they'd like to interview me for a position next week. The catch? They want to interview me in North Bay. NORTH BAY. That's a five-hour drive to the northwest of Ottawa. It's only a slightly shorter drive from Peterborough. WTF?

Why the heck do they want to interview me in North Bay (a/k/a the back of beyond) for a Peterborough job?

Maybe the interviewing offices are in North Bay but the job is in the other city? My friend Jennifer recently took a job. Her interview was in a completely different city from where the job is located because the system is spread out all over.

Because government logic is not earth logic? And I love the fact I can use this icon.

Fingers crossed.
