1/25/2012-Wednesday Evening
Hello everyone. How's life? I have an engagement to attend this evening, and any minute now I'm going to have to run, so if I cut this off suddenly don't be alarmed. I wouldn't want you to think some evil had befallen me!
Given my uncertain timeframe, let's discuss the photo right now. I took this one the other day while working down in Ballard. Heather snuck up beside me and was grinning at me, so I decided it was worth taking a photo, for evidence. I thought it was a particularly good photo in that the shadow on Heather's face makes her look quite sinister. Normally she looks so sweet and loveable that you might not know what a sinister side she has, but here's clear proof of it.
So let's see, Monday we had quite a busy day. We started off with an early morning call down at the locks, where we had to move a spud barge around a bit. It's currently sitting downstream of the dam, in the spillway, so if you happen to be over there you'll be able to see it. You'll say "Hey, that's the barge those dorks moved the other day". Once we were done with that we had to run back to Foss to shift the 300 around for a bit. That wound up taking quite a long time, and it was well past dinnertime before we got home. I missed my dinner, but fortunately I found a snack to nibble on, which made up for it.
Yesterday we didn't have any actual work, a trend which carried over into today. I mostly occupied myself looking through the garbage for soda cans, while Heather and Kelli did whatever it is they do. As far as I know they were out doing a little marketing, and handing out the new calendars which just came. I should probably put those in our merchandise section, along with the T-shirts. We seem to sell one shirt about every six months, so moving three or four calendars every decade could really help boost our profits. In typical fashion I'm sure we'll figure out some way to lose money selling calendars. On the other hand why change our business model at this point.
Okay, well I have to run. Everyone drive safe, it's rainy tonight. Brian
