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

Thankfully, nothing untoward happened except going to HersheyPark with Paula and Erin and Gary and the girl who Maria replaced. That and playing Dutch Blitz, which resulted in both Gary and Paula repeatedly calling me a bitch for being faster than they were.
Highly entertaining.
In totally unrelated news - I need an address for you, as I am a dolt and still have the liner notes for the West Wing season 3 DVDs.
*headdesk* Lemme know what would be best, and safe driving!

Date: 2007-01-01 03:11 pm (UTC)Dutch Blitz is this totally cracked out card game in which everyone plays at once, and piles cards on top of each other sequentially, as long as the colour matches. The back has one of four symbols (four players), and when you get rid of your stack you call it. Game over. Eveybody's unplayed cards are negative numbers, and all the played cards in the centre are positive numbers. First player to 100 wins (can take hours sometimes...).
It's surprisingly addictive.
