good enough I guess, for government work Well I'm home early from my first day as an intern. I was fired. (two-beat pause) Just kidding. There just wasn't anything I could do, so my boss told me to go ahead. Of course, I had just come back in from lunch when he decided this, but whatever. But this thing is gonna be fine; they have no idea really what they are going to use me for but they still want me around; I basically spent the day sitting around the EOC talking shop with my boss McCleary, the Fire Chief, and a Brittish chap who seemed to be incharge of technology-ish things. It's funny working for a government, be it island or elsewhere, they are all the same. So I expect lots of meetings, with very little progress. There is a lot that needs done, but on the same hand they have an okay handle of things. It seems to me that just what needs to be done is not a necessity--yet--but it would but them ahead of where they are now as far as disaster preparedness goes. Plus the government is still very weary from Ivan, and the people are nervous and not ready to be serious yet. But it's Hurricane Season again, bad things happen but the world doesn't stop moving; we always have to be thinking. Anyways I won't bore you with any specifics just now; we have another potential hurricane heading our way! (That would be bad for the island, but subsequently would mean more work for me; crazy line of work I got myself into). Well I should go, take a look out the window.  ¶ 7/05/2005 04:49:00 PM
