Why do HR departments hate me?

 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:

1. 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.


2.  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.
