I squeeze the sky out but not a star appears

[cyrano]

1. 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.

I like the song. "Language or the Kiss" is one of my favorites.

Good God. 5am. I would be dead. Dead dead dead. (Then again, it kind of fits the housemate's schedule, only earlier.)

Anyway, the clouds on 280 make me smile a lot. Good image.

Re: #5

That is not a "thingie," it is Crystal Springs Resevoir. My father has worked on the feasibility of using it as an emergency water supply for SF.

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.

The "thingie" is right by 92, yes?

I have to stop reading your journal, you're making me long for a longer commute, and that's just wrong wrong wrong.

I'm a big meanie

I hate to interrupt the lovely talk about the pretty water, but I happened to notice that your schedule is Friday through Tuesday. That would indicate that you work weekends. Following this train of thought, one might suppose that you will be missing the next 2-day Nero event, and that is a train that should be derailed, immediately.

No no missing Nero! I will cry!

#1 - D'oh. I thought you said 'mid to high 80's' last night, not 90's. In that case, sorry. :/

#5 - Yeah, I absolutely adore the fluid nature of the fog coming over the mountains in the afternoon. Makes me wish there were more 'vista points' other than the scary monk statute to pull off and watch it sometime.

Still looks like a good score to me. Good luck.

Chris, my friend who works at the Rigby post office and did work at Rexburg also said that your score isn't bad. She said that after a year or two (who couldn't remember which) you have to send them a note that says you still want to be on their list for employment.
