[04:52:44] <Dean> G'Day...anyone lurking? I'm Dean...the new editor candidate
[05:12:44] <AzumaHazuki> Eh, you too?
[05:17:15] <Dean> Yup. Quiet night
[05:23:31] <AzumaHazuki> i've been inducted too but have been too busy with work and study to train much
[05:23:55] <AzumaHazuki> a national certification exam...to become a certified pharmacy technician. the date is set for 18 February
[05:26:09] <Dean> Sounds interesting! Best of luck!
[05:26:36] <Dean> I'm busy trying to wrap my head around Blockchain
[05:27:05] <Dean> I'm in a MOOC offered by the University of Nicosia
[05:34:32] <AzumaHazuki> this is life or death. i have to get across the Canadian border, and do it legally, as soon as possible
[05:34:56] <AzumaHazuki> anyone as poor as me can only do it by work permit
[05:35:14] <AzumaHazuki> so this certification is an attempt to be more attractive to prospective employers
[05:35:43] <Dean> I live in Canada. Where are you coming from?
[05:35:53] <AzumaHazuki> northeastern USA
[05:36:08] <AzumaHazuki> this country is very soon going to become hell
[05:38:12] <Dean> Yeah, the US is going through some painful self-discovery at the moment
[05:38:36] <Dean> I'd like to say we're better up here, but in many cases Canada is not much better
[05:39:02] <AzumaHazuki> this "self discovery" costs poor people their lives. i for one have suffered too much to remain sane in the face of what's coming
[05:41:30] <Dean> Any idea where you'd like to settle?
[05:43:33] <AzumaHazuki> at this point i'll go to goddamn yellowknife if i have to
[05:43:58] <AzumaHazuki> i'm terrified of being as poor up there as down here, and the rents in Toronto and Vancouver are insane
[05:44:10] <AzumaHazuki> Manitoba, PEI, or NS are options if i can find something cheap
[05:49:07] <Dean> Agreed. I grew up in Vancouver, but it's no place to live if you're just starting out. I'm in Alberta...the carbon-based economy here is on the ropes
[05:49:47] <Dean> But Halifax NS is a beautiful town
[05:49:58] <Dean> Great people too
[05:51:51] <AzumaHazuki> that may be it then...somewhere natural, small but connected enough, with good people
[05:52:01] <AzumaHazuki> somewhere i can slowly heal off some of the damage i've taken
[05:59:01] <AzumaHazuki> nova scotia health authority seems to be a large employer there
[05:59:05] <AzumaHazuki> ...this may be destiny
[06:06:30] <Dean> The health authority administers the provincial health plan, so it's mostly bureaucracy. There may be a call for pharmacy technician...not sure
[06:09:45] <Dean> I have to drop, but I'll be online again soon-ish. Good luck. Feel free to ping me

[19:35:35] <Bytram> anyway, biba

[19:37:37] <janrinok> I saw his convo with Az - his tz means it will be unlikely that I spend much time chatting with him on here. Still, I'm very pleased that he is joining in and making himself known.
[23:11:57] <Bytram> I saw it, too. Hadn't thought of that (vastly different timezones between you) but it's obvious in retrospect! I'm looking forward to working with him!
