The Day of Outsideness

So, I started out today by putting on copious amounts of sunscreen and then talking with Gareth whilest waiting for everyone to show up. Because we are apparently the keeners. And no, Beth, I can't put in a good word for you because he's already taken. By the sister of a guy my dad worked with last year actually, and he's living with them for the year until his work/vacation visa runs out. And he met his girlfriend in Australia while they were working there. Talk about your small world.

Anywho, we went over safety stuff this morning, got our crew assignments (I'm flagging with Meaghan for the Base Stabilization Crew), and took a tour of the yard. Unfortunately for Meaghan and I, Gareth is a "townie" (on a cement crew in the Park), however this provides us with loads of opportunities to tease him. And about his murse, of course. And then us rural kids went off to practise flagging, driving the packer, and driving the one-ton with trailer for the afternoon. And I am now slightly more sunburnt. Woot.

Tomorrow is work around the yard and a hearing test. And hopefully no more sunburnyness. Because I can only get so red.

Yes. Flagger = Flag person = holding stop/slow sign. But I get to stop EVERYONE. Oh yeah, that's right, I HAVE THE POWER.
