[Sksouth-l] Aaaaa! Planes

[Sarah Kaye]

It's mighty cold for Hercs here but they say they're
going to fly today. Woo! I'll be happy to get the
season started but I could've used another day to
finish up station opening tasking, clean up, and move
to my temporary room before the new people get here.

New people will be exciting. It's been 8 months with
the same 75 people, they're good people but still
that's a small community. We had the Twin Otters go
through yesterday and weren't they nice! The crews are
all Canadian and they remind me of my cousins (Hello,
cousins).

If the planes fly today they'll bring in my boss and
my replacement, so I'll be on track for getting out of
here. Wow. I still enjoy being here but a year is a
long time to live in an approx. 1-mi radius. I'm ready
to leave.

I've worked hard and I think I've done a good job here
but you know how it is, when new people show up they
see what you didn't do. I've done my best to get
workspaces set up right, and I think the network is in
good shape. I guess we'll see. Also it's a known fact
that people lose mental acuity and short-term memory
when they winter here: I'm a real good example, still
cheerful but I forget stuff left and right and I don't
always make obvious logical connections. Incoming
folks who haven't wintered before may not get it. Oh
well, they can get their computer support elsewhere.

Time to clean up. Anything that's not done now gets
shoved on a shelf in the storeroom.


Later,
