Okay, Back To The Airplanes

These two have been parked right next to my window every day since we moved in here. I'm guessing they're being worked on or something.

At Least It's Not An Airplane

Even though today is Labor Day... I volunteered to work. Something is wrong with my car, check engine light's been on for weeks (Catalyst System Efficiency below threshold), and I haven't quite gotten ahead on my money since spending the summer unemployed. So I chose to gain some extra money and work an 8 hour day for double-time. The place was pretty empty, only a handful of people came in, so I spent a few minutes taking some pictures of our bright shiny new workplace. This is the break room. I love how the white tables and chairs seem to glow under the skylight (although I took this pic while it was still mostly dark outside) and the fountain is so pretty. It's so cool being in this building.

Putting The Men To Work

I spent the night at Chuck and Ruthie's after Jessica's birthday party and this morning, Chuck and Charlie cooked us all a delicious breakfast of biscuits & gravy, sausage and eggs. Charlie did the eggs to perfection.

Jessica's Birthday

My little baby niece Jessica turned 14 today. How does that happen so fast?

Also, little Timmy Gray got married today and I got to see Scott trying on his tux before I headed down to Jessica's party.

Early Morning Sun

I love the way the morning sun lights up the new airport terminal. Please ignore the reflection I'm getting in the window. The lights in the office always cause a window reflection until it finally becomes sunny enough outside that the reflection disappears.

I'm afraid that when I begin working my graveyard shift, the reflection is going to prevent me from taking some cool nighttime photos of the runway.

A Little Progress

Well I've gotten a start on decorating the cube, but it's nowhere near being complete. I have decided I'm going to take advantage of the metal support beam on my right side by the window and I have already attached a small magnetized cork board to it. As long as no one tells me I'm not allowed to use the pole, I will find more cool stuff to put there.

I've decided I'm going to decorate my cube with pieces of pop culture that are favorites of mine. But, I want the items to be smallish. Like figurines under 6" or pictures no larger than postcard size. I would prefer pics out of magazines, books, etc. so I can pin them up on the walls. If anyone has anything they wanna donate to me for decorating, here's a list of things I love: Wizard of Oz, Futurama, Dr. Who, Ghostbusters (would love to have a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man), Star Wars (especially R2D2), SpongeBob, the Muppets, World of Warcraft. Or anything else you may have lying around that you think I'd love.

Yep, It's An Airplane

I wasn't joking when I said the awesomeness of watching airplanes landing and taking off all day long would take some time to wear off. You will be seeing pics of airplanes for probably weeks to come.

Later this evening, my dept. is all meeting up at Lyn's house for a potluck dinner and a chance to get to know each other better. There are 22 of us (I believe?) and 13 of us all worked together at our last job so I just think of them as old co-workers. Lol. We all hang out together quite a bit anyway. I can't wait to get to know my new coworkers better and see their families.
