Move to Moscow

Today there was a big announcement at work that one third of our department will be relocating to Moscow. The move makes perfect sense as it will probably cut down on some of the many flights that are made to and from Russia. My team doesn't know yet how it will be affected but I can tell you it will be a very warm January night in Red Square before I move over there. Life is cheap there and the Russians don't play fair by any stretch of the imagination. A senior TNK-BP offical was recently shot down during tough "negotiations" with Gazprom over a contested gas field. Reporters are also being shot for making Putin look bad. And plus, it's cold and very inaccessible for my wheelchair. This probably has mucked up my immediate plans for a return to Canada though...
