The most notable thing this week has definitely been the weather. I'm pretty sure that ever since I've been back, it has rained at least once every day. It's crazy...one minute it's sunny, then a quick cloud blows over and we get either a torrential downpour, or some wicked thunder and lightning. Today the site shut down early and all the day shift workers came back to camp a couple of hours early because of the lightning. Big loud booms around the camp, and it looked pretty windy out too. One thing about it, it's pretty much taken the forest fire hazard level to about zero. Usually workers coming back early from the job site means cranky men, because they are Losing Money. And Money is the reason we are all out here. They'll tell you that first thing in orientation.
I've found this rotation is going by fairly quickly. We had a couple of rooms closed down because of pests (i.e. bedbugs). A few rude guests. More pleasant guests. Some bring us candy :) Dinner today was prime rib with Yorkshire pudding in the main lines, but the wait was so long I went right around it and headed for the "Diner" line (basically your fast food line) and settled for a piece of chicken, a hot dog, a few french fries and some macaroni salad. Oh, and a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie because it was Sunday. I haven't taken advantage of the sundaes on Sundays, however a sundae bar is always set up on Sundays.
I had a couple of day shifts, yesterday and today. It really through off my routine and I didn't make it to the gym at all. Back to the routine tomorrow though!
One more week and I'm off again.
