My friend is working for Microsoft as a co-op student for four months. He is a third year student, and they're paid his moving expenses to Seattle, WA, (from Toronto, ON) and they're paying his accomodation, and they're paying him US$4,200 a month tax-free. Eh.

But he will have to live in Canada and get paid with Canadian toilet paper.

Oh and the winters are so cold. This is why the North Americans have electric garage door openers and Toronto city centre is entirely connected underground.

Seattle - the closest climate in NA to England LOL.

Used to work for one that was on last years. No surprise to it being dropped. Wouldn't be surprised if it was one of 100 worst.

True, but TP has a higher cost / value per sheet.

Now heres an off topic. Why do the Canadians get the Queens Birthday as a holiday when us Brits do not?
