Are snakes on your plane?

I drove three-quarters the way across the state of Michigan on a dying cell phone battery. That's not so smart. And I had to get off 96 and take a self-imposed detour (rather than sit in one-lane traffic jam because of construction) through Lansing. It even amazes myself that I was able to pull off such a feat, but I made it back to the freeways and home safely. I got robbed at the Sunaco in Okemos though - damn little town gas stations that can hike up the price of gas. Honestly. Argh. And in the past two days, I've driven about 300 miles. My car turned three months old last Friday without much fanfare, and then only because I was camping in Ludington, but it already has almost 9,000 miles on it. Yay for new cars and long distance driving. It can be scary at times, but it's all very much worth it.

Good news on the job front: there is a slight possibility that I'll be offered more hours that could equate to full-time workload. My boss said by October, and by October it is. But I can't be excited about it because it hasn't been talked through yet or approved, it's just an option that is out there. I'll keep you posted. I'm also official at the museum now. I have business cards. It's exciting, these are my first batch of business cards. And they look so pretty with the logo and everything. :)

This is my last weekend at the Dossin and I'm not even sure I'll be there all day both days, there will probably be work to do that the Main.

I wrote this just for the enjoyment of one traveler stuck on the runway in Grand Rapids since Chicago is closed. You can thank me later. ;)

Byebye.
