Attitude
Thank you to all those who wrote to cheer me up from the day I had yesterday. There was one incident I had forgotten to write about last night because I didn’t get yelled at about it yesterday. This morning in our stand up meeting, the boss didn’t mention our piler crew, but he did mention to everyone else that someone had forgotten to take a tare sample. That would be me. Continue reading
Nearly a full day of work
For two days there was no work and Mark and I were getting cabin fever. This morning when we called in they said we could come to work, but not till 8:30. We went back to bed for a while. It’s a good thing we’ve had all this rest for the last couple days! Continue reading
Rain, rain, go away…

There was a message asking us to check back at 8:00, so we went back to bed for a while longer. When we called back at 7:45 the message said to come in at 8:30. Continue reading

Work assignments
This morning Mark and I drove down to Savage for our orientation with Sidney Sugar. We met on site at the field where we’ll be working. I had thought that everyone who came to Sidney would be sent to this work area, but apparently there are three sites near Sidney. There were only a handful of us in Savage. Continue reading
How I spent my day…
Thursdays are honey wagon day. The honey wagon is a truck that goes around and collects everything from our holding tanks since we have no sewer connections. The truck they sent around was so small it had to make several trips to empty and refill. Continue reading
Express Employment orientation
This morning the camp host here at the fairgrounds came over and had us fill out and sign a bunch of paperwork for Express Employment. Then she told us to go to the hotel where they set up the orientation. Continue reading
From Sidney, MT
This morning we left Bozeman KOA at 10:30. This was the last day of our journey for this job and we were both in a better mood in spite of difficulties sleeping last night. Continue reading
