I actually got the call on Monday at around 4:30pm. I'm to go in for orientation on Friday, and then I leave on Sunday for green hand school for five days. Hmm. I wonder what that'll be like. From what I here, the instructor is a pretty interesting guy, but I guess I'll have to wait and see for myself.

Well, it's a beautiful day in the Hat, I must say. I am actually walking around in a t-shirt, and all the little patches of ice and snow are disappearing before my very eyes. It's too bad, though. I was kind of hoping that when my family comes out in March that we could hit the local hill for a bit of skiing/snowboarding. The hill is called Hidden Valley, and it's not too intimidating for first timers (like my girls). Here's a map of the hill. See? Not intimidating at all. Read up on it! It sure is a heckuva lot cheaper that Mt. Washington!

So, anyway, now I'm just playing the waiting game, I may be booked into an H2S course before then, but I'm told all the day classes are full. There may be evening classes, but I'm not holding my breath. We'll see, though.

What is H2S, you ask. It's hydrogen sulphide, and it is highly poisonous. It is very common in the petroleum field and ground water. This course is how to detect it and avoid inhaling it. Fun, huh? If you want to read up on it, just click here.

Anyway, that's all for now. Except, I was wondering if someone could pass this on to my sister. I know she doesn't have a computer, but she may be able to view it at work. I've noticed that some of the entries have disappeared due to the length of this blog so far, but to get to the ones not visible anymore, all you have to do is click on the archive list on the left there. I know we're still in January, but Blogspot still archives when the length of the page gets too small. So, um, yeah!

Alrighty then, time to go. Talk to you later everybody!
