• How unprofessional…

  OK, quick rant before news.

  So, my coworker is a nice person, and it is sad that my coworker is sick.  But, hearing a cough every 2 minutes since Tuesday is not cool.  Isn’t that why we have sick days?  Isn’t that rude?  Shouldn’t  you be required to stay home, rather than spit up a lung in a public place with many cubicles and so many new, potential hosts?  Yeah, like I’m supposed to sit hear and accept your germs on my $4,000 suit?  C’mon!

  The past two days have really set my planner ablaze.  Here’s a rundown:

  

  3/most: Our aquifer tests (above is a pic from the pre-test we did with the drill rig and got ~900 gpm) will be the 4th through the 25th-ish.  We will do 2 tests, one for 10 days, another for 21, and plan to get 1200 gpm out of each well… that’s a crazy amount of water.  I can only hope for good weather…

  

  4/?: We *should* be drilling sometime this month, though the number of holes and depths are speculative at this pont.  Due to budget, we may be down to only two 150′ holes left!  Crazy, huh?

  

  4/29: I am attending a free (to me) Geological licensure confrence in town, and will start looking into my licence. So, I’m sure some of you have a cheap slightly-used study guide for sale, right?  I’ve always wanted to be professional…

  

  5/8-10: I will be leading the geology portion of the 50th anneversary cellebration at Fish Springs… probably the first professional field trip I will have ever lead.  I got cool places to take them, but it’s only 3-4 hours, and everything out there is a long drive from everything else, so I’ll have to plan wisely.

  

  5/11-13: GSA baby!  Yup, my first trip back in a while, and first meeting I will attend as a non-student.  We will be presenting a status report of our Snake Valley project.  I’m hoping for poster so I can put a lot of data up and have people actually see it.

  As for this weekend, I’m going to Cedar to see Lulu et al.!
