They are little flat packages, something like teabags, that you put in your shoes, under your socks. Then, when you wiggle your toes, they produce heat for a couple hours. You have to wiggle every so often, though, to keep them going. But they are great, my toes getting cold has always been a problem for me, even with 2 pairs of winter socks and thinsulate boots. The toe warmers make them OK.
In Miami, I get them in the ski shop. But I think places that sell hunting or camping gear may also have them.
I would make sure that the new opening is a legitimate and reputable company, if it is, then I think you should check it out and maybe apply, in case the other one doesn't work out.
Define legitimate and reputable!
Seriously, I think the Employment and Training office checks job listings before accepting them, so they're probably all right. It's just frustrating that they're working behind a screen, so to speak - to apply, I have to give a resume and cover letter to the employment office folks, who will then pass it to the actual company. I'm going to go to the office tomorrow to see if they can give me more info than just a job description, but I don't know if they're allowed to do so.
So, I give up for tonight. I'm going to go watch CSI:Miami and then to sleep.
See you all in the morning!
I used to work in a cold storage warehouse. When it is -20°, those heat packs keep your toes warm -- and make you painfully aware how cold the rest of your feet are.
