I think there's something you're not telling us, what happens in the arctic stays in the arctic.

Our AC unit for my section has been broken since last Wednesday. Not sure when it will be fixed but the compressor has been ordered.

at 2 pm I realized that me and my crew would be stranded in the treeless high artic for the night.
our emergency kit consisted of 1 sleeping, a small stove and fuel.
we dug a snow cave with our snowshoes. We all got horribly ill from the fumes, so much so that one guy trying to warm up kept digging the cave all night. he accidently made us a new door. Wind now was coming in and it got deadly cold. Our clothes were hard as rock, going out of the cave was suicide so we just covered up the new hole and tried to live.
highlight of the night was sharing a boiled frozen orange juice.Greatest tasting drink I ever had. It was a long and miserable silent night.
When morning mercifully came I heard a helicopter but it was bigger then the one that dropped us off. I knew it was a 204 helicopter and We were dropped off with a 500. My heart sank but the loud thump thump was getting closer and closer until it landed close to our drop off on the frozen lake. We ran like nuts to the helicopter jumped in and we were saved. The smaller Hughes 500 could not make it through the ice fog so from another diamond camp they sent the 204. It had dual controls so I flew the helicopter for 10 minutes.
Finally landed at camp, had breakfast and a hot shower then played Red Alert till supper. I wish this was my only adventure but I have had many near death experiences worst then this but this was the closest to freezing to death. The rest were grizzlies, black mambas and saving peoples lives.
Still love this job but I leave it to others now to risk their necks.
brutal, just brutal that bitter cold.

i bet that red alert was sweet tho !
it is about time!

After work that is all I did was try to complete all Red Alert missions and I was glad for the day off to finish the game.
It was a long night though but I had 3 more of those stuck all night deals.
Loved that game.

That wasn't your worst day. That was the worst day for everyone else at your workplace.
