The post whore thread.

It's been pretty quiet in here lately. Anyone else still at work? I think I've even got Belly beat today.

Got that tent from Jesus With a .45. Nothing makes me feel more stupid than trying to put up a tent without instructions. I've actually pretty much got this one though. There is still something wrong, I just can't figure out what it is. It's useable right now though.

Belly, what do you do all day?

Make magical things happen with administrative paperwork.

create and authorize travel plans.

Ensure the movement teams are resourced.

coordinate with higher HQ to ensure that all the protocol is followed.

i also work out for about two hours a day.

im in charge of a staff of 15 folks that prepare, manage, wrangle, advise, and otherwise plan every minute of every day for an elephant.

Always start by getting the base set up.

I got it all worked out. I'll have to wrangle around the main poles a bit, as they some how got twisted around. It's a pretty large tent and I'm pretty happy about it. Thanks for the tip and explanation Belly.

Just got home. Good old 16 hour workday.

I got a new job, so I am switching departments. That means that I got my last claim last Friday, and I have all this week off to get caught up on my work and close all my claims. It is absolutely wonderful. My phone rang only a handful of times today. I start in my new department next week, but I don't go to official training until the middle of August. So I've got about 1-2 weeks of online training, then just riding along with other people in my department for pretty much the rest of the summer. Plus I get to work from home now so no more driving through shit traffic every morning to the Tech Center! *Maybe.

Sorry I can't complain about long work days with you guys.

Congrats man, that sounds like a huge move up! I'm ready to move on to something else.

[Irving]

Thank you! It's technically a lateral move, but it's a lateral move in the direction that I wanted, and I get a company car and to work from home. I'll actually be in the field, so I'll be driving a lot more, but it's different to drive all over the state(s) for work, rather spending an hour (at least) each way in traffic every day.
