cyrano1. Got the Post Office Battery Test results back, and scored an 86.6% which is not embarrassing. However, Experts(tm) say that a score in the mid to high 90s is required to get a call in the first year or so.
2. Got my schedule. I'll be working 5am to 1.30pm Friday through Tuesday, starting next week. I was going to start on Friday, but I mentioned that this would be ten days in a row and I was concerned about how I'd hold up and they said 'D'oh! Yeah, let's fix that.'
3. I called Debbie and told her that I had a schedule, and she said I'd made her afternoon and she'd put me on the schedule for next Wednesday and Thursday, and we'd discuss how much more work I felt like doing once I'd been on the schedule for more than forty minutes.
4. The first week of training, which was going to send me to Salt Lake City in October, has been rescheduled. The 16 September date, which had initially been full, got some holes in it and Hollis said Do you want it? and we said Hell yeah. So I'm leaving town next weekend.
5. On the way home there was this pretty and very distracting sight. The clouds were pouring over the mountains to the right, and into the little valley where the lake/reservoir/thingie is--it was very fluid, and I really liked the way it channelled down into a thick stream and then, as it got over the water it just... puffed up and away into a big fan of fog.

But more importantly, Crystal Springs sits directly on top of the San Andreas Fault. So that "little valley" is actually the intersection of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. Amazing that something so peaceful looking, could have so much dangerous potential.

I like it. A lot.
