I've arrived

I've arrived at the North Pole. It took quite a bit of time to get up here. It was a long flight from Chicago to Edmonton, Canada, followed by another flight to Yellowknife in the north of Canada, followed by another flight to the North Pole. The planes got progressively smaller as my journey progressed. Later on, when I spoke to Santa for the first time, I joked that he could have just sent the sleigh to pick me up in Chicago. He didn't find it very funny.

I've been given my own little hut that's been kitted out for a normal sized human. I tower over everything here, except Santa. The hut is warm and cozy. It will be hard to remind myself that I'm here to work. No sooner did I get here, did the elves shove a huge project on my plate. I have a feeling they were just waiting for someone to show up and take it off their hands. They want me to update the GPS Software in all of Santa's equipment. I thought it was simple until they showed me they needed the GPS Devices updated across the globe where they have other distributors. It's going to be a time-consuming task. But that's why I'm here. The North Pole needed help with Marketing and Logistics, and OpticsPlanet is glad to help.

Thankfully, the North Pole has a great satellite internet uplink so I'm able to stay in contact with OpticsPlanet and my wife back home in Chicago.

I know you expect to hear about this, but it's really, really cold up here. Despite the fact that I'm wearing layers, I'm still cold all the time. But the fireplace in my hut is nice and warm.

Happy Thanksgiving to all those down south!
