Sprayin' A Ditch

Well, I just finished my first week of work! Hopefully all weeks fly by like this. It is a laid-back person's dream job *as I point to myself* (meaning that it's not stressful at all...). I've decided to be pretty vague with certain things about it to cover my tracks, just in case. Therefore, I will only speak of more personal stories and not of those of my fellow co-workers that I know will be hilarious. So I apologize in advance for not delivering the full details in the subsequent posts pertaining to my job!

Deal? ... Deal.

Oh, and if you don't know what my job is... my official title would probably be an Insect Control Operator. Anyways, I have two quick stories to tell you from the last couple days.

First, as I was callin' in our listing information at the end of the day yesterday, someone forgot to turn off their CB radio. Constant (somewhat elicit) chatter from our co-workers and Power 97 was the funny result, which blasted throughout everyone's radios including the loud speaker at the main yard. It went on for 20 minutes! And nobody could call in their listings during that time of course. Unreal.

Secondly, as my driver and I were out near the floodway in the middle of a listing, we got radioed back to the yard by one of our foremans. She sounded very stern so that caused us to worry and re-think what we had done in the day. We couldn't think of anything that we didn't do right! We got back to the yard and found out that we were the two chosen to perform a demonstration for the news crews that were there for a press conference! We were relieved and gladly agreed to show the cameras our skills (... there's no skill involved). So you might see me on the local news sittin' on the back of a truck (in my safety gear) sprayin' a ditch tonight!

Have a good weekend!
