I am considering to accept the job in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Can anyone tell about usual life in this city?
Is it hard to find accommodation?
Any social life and activities?
I am 29M from Toronto.
I am about getting a job in Carcross, Yukon, and willing to relocate from Toronto. (I grew up on a farm and always wanted to get settled in small quiet place)
So just checking what I suppose to be prepared for?
For now my biggest concern is to find an accommodation…
My grandpa recently passed away and we came to Ukraine to have everything organised.
Nobody know what car is this, my dad told it’s sitting here over a few decades
This happened a few years ago and I still think about it sometimes, even tho nothing really “happened”.
I was on vacation in Dominican Republic with my girlfriend’s family. Her parents rented this big house with a pool in the backyard, and beside the pool there was a little pool house with a shower, toilet, towels and all that stuff. The door was one of those sliding doors and I don’t think it even locked properly. Most of the time it was just open.
One morning I woke up super early and thought everyone was sleeping. I wanted to swim before anyone got up, so I went outside and walked into the pool house to change. Didn’t knock, didn’t think, just walked in like an idiot.
Her mom was in the shower having a VERY private moment… She was always a really attractive woman too, tall, tanned, dark curly hair, and people used to think she was my girlfriend’s older sister, not her mom. So yeah, it made the whole thing even more awkward in my head.
I froze, said something like “oh shit, sorry” and got out right away, but she definitely saw me. We made eye contact for like half a second and I wanted to disappear.
I went back inside and made coffee, just standing there pretending to be normal while my brain was dying. Like 15 minutes later she came into the kitchen like nothing happened, said good morning, grabbed some juice and went back outside to tan.
We never talked about it. Not once. I never told anyone either, because honestly how do you even bring that up without making it sound weird? At first I was embarrassed, then too much time passed and it felt even more weird.
Nothing happened. It was an accident and I left right away. But I still feel guilty that I kept it to myself for so long, and sometimes when I see her at family stuff I swear I can tell she remembers too.
That’s it. Just something stupid and awkward I’ve been carrying around for years.
A few years ago, when I was still a broke student, my girlfriend’s parents invited us on vacation to Dominican Republic. They rented this big house with a pool in the backyard, and we all stayed there together. Her parents paid for everything, so I was already trying to be respectful and not make anything weird.
There was a small pool house beside the pool with a shower, toilet, towels and pool stuff. It had this sliding door that I don’t think even locked properly, and usually it was just left open. One morning I woke up really early and thought everyone was still sleeping, so I decided to go for a swim before everyone got up. I walked into the pool house to change and didn’t even think twice.
And yeah… her mom was in the shower having a very private moment. She is a very attractive woman, tall, tanned, dark curly hair, and honestly she always looked way younger than her age. People used to think she was my girlfriend’s older sister, not her mom. So that made the whole thing feel even more awkward. I froze, said something like “oh shit” and walked out right away, but she definitely saw me. We made eye contact for like half a second and I wanted to disappear.
I went back inside and made coffee, just standing there panicking and thinking I ruined the whole vacation. Then maybe 15 minutes later she came into the kitchen like absolutely nothing happened. Just said good morning, poured some juice, and went back outside to tan. We never talked about it. Ever.
I also never told my girlfriend. At first because I was embarrassed and had no idea how to explain it without sounding weird. Then too much time passed and it felt even harder to bring up. Now I’m planning to propose, and for some stupid reason this memory still comes back. Sometimes when we visit her family, especially after a couple drinks, I swear her mom gives me this little smile like she remembers. Maybe I’m overthinking it, I probably am.
But I’m scared one day she’ll say something as a joke and my girlfriend will ask why I never told her. Nothing happened, it was an accident and I left right away. But I still feel guilty for keeping it from her this long.
I honestly don’t know if I should tell her before proposing, or just shut up and let it die.
