Internet came to residence #11 a few days ago. Resident #2 came to residence #11 a few days after. Resident #3 arrives tomorrow. It was a lovely month of having the house to myself. I was definitely spoiled. Resident #2, who has been on her computer non-stop since she arrived and I gave her the wifi password, is also spoiled, not having to wait a month. I don't know if she'd have made it. (Resident #2 is also ~8 yrs younger than Resident #1 and is fitting nicely into Resident #1's stereotype of the rising generation so deeply sunk in on-line social media they don't know how to be social without an electronic device...)
I have been at work two full pay periods, or four complete weeks. Crazy how fast it has gone. I also finally got my first paycheck last week which is always nice. However, unless only $15 was withheld in taxes, my rent wasn't automatically deducted. I'll need to get on that. There is no statute of limitations when it comes to the government asking for money owed.
The NPS seasonal immigration has begun. The chief of interp and our bookstore manager and I were joking about it on Friday as half our seasonals were arriving and moving in to housing.
"Turning our attention from the sharp-shinned hawk, we see another common species to the park around this time of year, the NPS seasonal. Notice the distinctive characteristics of older model car, bald tires, interior stuffed with belongs and riding low, bicycle attached to the back..."
Just for fun, in the past month, I gave 15 cave tours. It's been chilly outside so I haven't been out to explore and hike a whole lot yet, so no pictures, and really nothing to terribly exciting to post. However, I will leave you with my last picture from Florida. Continuing my tradition of doing a cartwheel on the steps of capital buildings.... (Tallahassee)
You and the sharp-shinned hawk huh? Yay for a new place and a new area!!! You are amazing Kate. I have always thought so! And your cartwheels rock!
