The Road So Far...

So, to update everyone on the events of this week.

First, this is being published real-time, as we finally got our internet and TV hooked up. I had to take an hour and a half off of work to babysit while the guy was here. It wasn't really needed - the guy was a lot nicer than many other cable guys I've run into. He even got a Coke to take with him on the road. There were some problems with the wireless, but he wasn't here to help with that. It was all me.

Second, my job has officially begun to branch out. Next Monday and Tuesday, I'll be able to escape from mountains of sawdust clogging up lungs and eyes, and instead working on installing a variable-frequency drive, a type of motor, at a local pump station. And sometime in the next few months, I'll be spending a few days working at a mine. It should be perfect for me - I've been down in active mines before, doing the whole tourist thing, and absolutely loved it.

It certainly beats being up on scaffolding and ladders.
