Float My Boat

Ah yes, yesterday was the first day of work for this years seasonal staff at work. Only 2 of them scheduled for the first day. 1 returner & 1 newbie. The day started something like this: Welcome to work, let's go put the boat in the water! Now, for those of you who have either been on the boat or have seen pictures I've posted from last season, you know this is no small boat. It does weigh 12 tons after all. But I must say, yesterday was perhaps the best putting the boat in the water experience I've experienced and/or heard about! All went extremely smoothly, and we had beautiful weather, even with the wind.

I've felt really good these past couple of days. It's the weather! I'm telling ya - my body loves being out in the fresh air and sun shine, even if it is a bit on the cool side. After spending the winter indoors looking longingly out the window and in meetings or staring at my computer screen at work all day, all I have to say is this: It's about freaking time spring got here!!!!

Today work was equally good. We had an all staff training for history department crew. I let bits & pieces of it. My boss is taking advantage of my camp experience & having me do Icebreaker games & eventually maybe some team building exercises...it felt good to get back to some of that. I also got to lead a mini tour of our site, with some practical need to know info & mixed some history into it.

I've just stuffed myself with a homecooked dinner (fresh...no boxed food thank you very much!) And yes, I'm enjoying yet another episode of No Reservations on TV. Just outside my window it's still really light out and it's after 7pm! At last!!!! My plans for the rest of the evening include spending some quality time on my couch with a good book (I just started reading "As I Lay Dying" a couple of nights ago...not too far into it yet...I need to fix that), and some great tea.
