By special request of
zooropababy I will in fact up date this journal. For those of you following along at home (which I am quite sure is exactly four people) you will notice that I update under two circumstances: extreme boredom and employment changes. This update involves both.
As my six-month employment gig at small-archaeology-firm-pennsylvania ended at the end of December, I found myself some work at much-larger-firm-Louisiana. This necessitated my packing my worldly possessions - at least the ones I think I might possibly at some time need - in the trunk of my car and driving to Louisiana. I am currently in a Days Inn in Birmingham, hence my boredom. Interesting parts of my trip so far include:
- Discovering that I have watched way too much CSI, when upon locating my room in the Days Inn in Roanoke, VA my immediate thought is "I'm in murder central". I was in fact in the last room on the floor right next to the exterior stairway leading to the parking lot.
- Receiving a phone call from the field supervisor while at the Alabama Welcome Center in which he informs me that he just found out that I was hired, and could I come to Georgia for January 8. I had sudden visions of driving back to PA only to turn around and do this again next week. Instead, I will be going on to Monroe as originally planned
Tonight I will have quite possibly the most interesting New Year's Eve ever, in which I sit in a hotel room and knit sweater sleeves.
