Those Crazy Alaskans
Hey Shannon, I hope you and John are having good clean alaskan fun out there. Make sure to remember that polar bears are much less cuddlier in person. Anyways just messaging you to let you know that our contracts came through a day before D-day and have been extended for 2 months in order to sort a long term solution out. Just thought we'd let ya know that you have a job to come back to. ERMD misses ya. Hope you're having a blast.
