Peeing in the Woods

I have now officially been on the job two days and have learned the following things:

1. T-Mobile does not get coverage in rural Louisiana.  In fact, the people at the local walmart laughed at the suggestion that it might.  Therefore, I may soon be getting a new cellphone number -- like in half an hour soon. 
2. The hours of the Springhill, LA library, as it seems to be the only place with internet access in the town of Springhill. 
3. That Springhill hosts the largest movie screen in the entirety of Louisiana.  A movie screen in a theater that only shows two movies per week. 
4. How to read a compass.  This is not nearly as involved as it looks.   
5. I can cross a creek by walking across a gas line pipe.  This sounds much more dangerous in retrospect
6. Louisiana is really, really rural. 

Which leads me to the thing that I am going to have to learn that I really don't want to: How to pee in the woods.  Now, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if it was an every-once-in-a-while, we're in a really remote place thing.  But we are always in a really remote place, so it will be an everyday thing.  I think we all know that I am not nearly that outdoorsy.
