This is your Captain speaking

Yesterday was my last day working with my Dossin docent Brendan. I followed him around most of the day as he showed the new guy the ropes. I know I am fairly comfortable knowing where things are and what to do if anything goes crazy. The only thing I'm still iffy on is the information regarding some of the displays, and now that I'm the one that Joel will be coming to for answers, I better brush up on the docent guide. I also decided on that self-promotion. I'm the Captain now. And since Stevie retired, I have no problem using that same phrasing. I have a tendancy not to like new people - but Joel seems like he has got it together. He is a GLMI member and is familiar with the Dossin and it's location, etc. Should be good.

I realized that after the Main Re-Opens Sept 29, I am going to have a really hard time being stationed in that building instead of the Dossin. Dude, they should just give me that museum. Seriously.

Saturday was a beautiful day. There was a breeze coming off the water and the air was that distinct lake smell. It's different than a rain smell or other water, it smelled like a lake. Add bbq scents to the air, and I could have done my work outside under the willow trees instead of a hot, stuffy office while working on crashing some family reunions. Yummy. It was a slow day and somewhat disappointing, but I got a lot of work done. Sunday was a great day compared to Saturday, and I'm glad Joel was able to hear Brendan's spiel a few times.

I have to work eight hours and then I am on vacation for the first time in eleven months. Last time I saw the Pacific Ocean, this time, it will be the Atlantic.

Saying I'm excited is probably an understatement. I have to get ready for my Monday in the cubicle (ha, sounds like a newspaper column or something). I'm already counting down the hours until lunch. Not because I have any big plans, but because I get an hour free. haha. And since we are in the midst of our Makeover, I get to wear jeans. Woot!
