I went to an office building for a presentation this past week that was supposed to be one hour long. Seven hours later, we were finally leaving having talked to everyone we wanted to talk to. That was a really good thing because the people we were presenting to really liked hearing about what we were doing in our building at work. Now I think they have a good grasp as to what we do when we go out on a mission somewhere in response to a problem that has come up. If nothing else, more people know about the squadrons here and understand what they can offer.

The temperature here has been pretty consistent: hot. The little weather widget on my BlackBerry says it is supposed to be “awfully hot” for the next seven days at least and probably longer. It’s kind of bizarre to see seven days in a row where the high is above 102 every day. You kind of get used to the drive home being sweltering, but that doesn’t mean it’s enjoyable per se. I’ve been driving with the top off and all the windows open and the breeze that comes off the road feels like someone opened an oven door right in front of the car. It’s not refreshing in the slightest, it’s just air motion.

Other than the oppressive temperatures, we’re having a blast here! The job is a lot of fun and the people I work with make it exciting to go to work each day. I know my job isn’t the dream job for everyone, but I really enjoy it and can’t think of anything else I would rather be doing! Let’s hear it for things working out the way they should!
