Return from Oregon to....

View from the office window

...well....Oregon, I guess.  As you can see from the view from my office window, it's foggy and rainy here too!

I was back in Corvallis for a couple of weeks, working in my OSU office.  (sorry for the long hiatus)  I returned to Marinette on Sunday night, and back to work at the shipyard office on Monday.  I really enjoyed my time at home, but I am also glad to be back at the shipyard.  It has been quite a busy week here, lots of issues needing attention.  We have all been very busy with design issues all over the project.  Work, eat, sleep, repeat. 

We finally have our Office Assistant hired.  Jenny Sevon starts with us in just over a week.  We are all looking forward to having some help in the organizational department, and Jenny is just the one to get us squared away.

I've been alone in the office today.  Gary and John have the day off ("Seward Day" in Alaska), so I've been holding down the fort.  Fortunately, nothing much has happened, so I have had the chance to finish up an assignment from Monday's Team Teleconference, get my new monitor set up (25 inches of LCD goodness!), and work on a presentation I'm giving next week at UW-Marinette.

Big surprise today:  I got a package from Julie at the shipyard office.  It's a brand new crock pot!  She's been threatening to send me one, so I can let stuff cook during the day when I'm at work.  Well, it arrived today, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

This week's big news is that I now have a spot in the parking garage at my apartment.  I was soooo stoked!  More on that later.
