On open-mindedness

If by intent or by fate you someday find yourself working in sub-arctic Alaska and are given the choice of sleeping in the space you work, living with your boss, or building an igloo, be sure to weigh all options carefully. Keep an open mind and above all else do not allow your socialization to lead you to believe that having heat, electricity, and appliances or not having to wake everyday upon a twin mattress to the sound of generators will somehow compensate for the sight of your boss in his underwear at daybreak, akward middle-of-the-night bathroom encounters, the fact that he can never hear his alarm, his insistence on pouring his coffee in to his house mug before pouring it in to his travel mug, his incessant desire to share "The Good Word".
