Monday:::::

I took these pictures on Sunday… an idea of what parking is like, and the outside of the building I am in.. (yes it was a grey day).. My rental is in the foreground here.. kind of peppy for a Pontiac.. J … The second is what some of the internal life at FEMA and disasters is about. We are hiring approx 500 people in the Baton Rouge area between now and Dec 7……. This is a standard Sunday move of people.. this is the Admin department and all these people are splitting it into two parts and moving them. They gave everyone Sunday off in this department so they could all be rested for their new location Monday morning…… so here comes the fun part. Half the group was up and running at 7:30 am this morning and… and……. And.. powers that be decided they needed to be in a different location…I actually thought the lady responsible for this group was going to come to blows with the building people and there was an actual intervention performed to settle the issue… needless to say they are all moved and we had to set up all their computers yet again. They were all moved and “back at work” by noon.. but wow!!!!

We reduced hours starting this week, it will lessen my work load some and give me some time to see part of the city perhaps. Looking forward to that . Found a ship thing down by the river that looks interesting and a big museum down there so there are cultural features to see as well. For those of you stuck in northern climes, it is going to be “seasonal” this week meaning temps at or near 70 degrees….. the humidity is just perfect and it rains occasionally. I do not even have to wear jackets out in the evening…………….

We are starting to plan Thanksgiving things here in the JFO… seems lots of people are staying here as we mostly only get one day off. There were a ton of people cycling out at this time but the ones not going home for a period of time are not going to work and are planning Thanksgiving things. I have not exactly done that but will likely go to Ruby Tuesdays for Thanksgiving dinner… They are planning some kinda thing there… Wishing you all an awesome Thanksgiving.
