On Sundays we start work at noon, but as the new guy's first day, I
was allowed to come in a little late. So I showed up around 1pm. I
started going through the check-in process, which included things like
being issued ammunition, patches, starting the paperwork to get IDs,
etc. It seems there are a few people in the office that like their
cats, but I'm the only guy. So I'll probably eventually be given a
hard time about that. But that's ok! Grandma would be proud! Ha!
Both going to breakfast, and coming back, I saw cats! They are just
wild/feral cats that were brought in to keep the rodent population in
check. However, they weren't spayed and neutered, so now there are
lots of cats. Seems kind of like the Old Woman Who Swallowed The Fly.
The ones I saw were young, because they were still playing tag with
each other and were pretty happy with themselves. I really wanted to
try petting them, but it wasn't the time or place.
Other than that, I'm sort of shadowing one of the other Action
Officers (that's my title) and going around on the various highlights
on the visit. I'm trying to acquaint myself with what needs to happen
so the process makes more sense in my mind. I think that will help me
remember things. But there is seriously a lot of planning that has to
take place! I'm a bit intimidated, but I'm sure it will come. I
can't do a darn thing until I get computer accounts.
