i got plant hair!

  Somedays I just feel like hiding out and being a tree (or pretending to be a model captured by a hanging plant?) But alas, at the end of the day I am (still) a conductor. A little over a week and a few trips later I have not yet been fired or killed, so I will count that as a success. The trips I have taken since my first one have been considerably better, all things considered. I attribute it mostly to lots and lots of prayers and … well I don’t know what else.  A lot of prayers. I do a lot of praying when I am working. God, help me line this switch. God, help me not get cancer from all of this second hand smoke. God, please help the engineer be patient with me. God, help me make sense of what I need to do next. And so on and so forth. So for now I am still in the game. I have had a few interesting jobs such as training the NEW trainees, only 6 days after graduating my own training class. I laughed all day at that one… it was so silly to me that I was half in charge of 18 people that are pretty much in the same place as me. But it was a good boost to the ego because it made me feel great that there are at least 18 people out there that have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Ah, those poor souls. Well, we will see what the next week brings!
