Work

So I have started work. Nothing too exciting has happened yet, I am just learning about the company and the projects that they would like to get moving on at this point. Next week and the week after that I will be traveling. First to Missouri and then to Louisiana.

Yesterday had a few other interesting happenings though. I went out to get some food and things and realized I also needed gas. I had put in a few bucks earlier in the day just so I had enough to get around, but I wanted to fill up in Mboro where gas is much cheaper than Nashville. So I pulled up to the gas station, walked around to the pump and looked at my car. "Hey wait a second," I thought, "where's the gas cap?" I had pulled up to the wrong side! Not only had filled up with gas earlier in the day, I also have I been the sole driver of that car for 6 years! I just laughed and moved my car over to the other pump, but boy did I feel dumb.

Then I went to the dollar store that had just opened to look around. I was surprised to find a book (Bait and Switch) by an author (Barbara Ehrenreich) of a book (Nickel and Dimed) that I had read for a class (Motivation) in undergrad (MNSU). It is a $24 book and I only paid $1! I was pretty excited. Hopefully when I read it there isn't a reason for it being at the dollar store... like its missing every third word or something.

When I was driving home from shopping I had to be sure to slow down as to not hit the huge family of skunks crossing the road. There was at least 8 of them, and they all had cute bushy tails. Some of them had clear black and white coloring, but others had a lot of white to them too. I didn't get that great of a look at them before they scurried off into the brush, but I was happy I at least didn't hit any of them.
