Plan change! Plan change! Plan change!

I just found out 2 hours ago I am leaving for Louisiana for the BP oil cleanup!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning!

Wheeeeeeee I love consulting!

Update: I will not - NOT - be working in the field. So I will not be on the "front lines", scooping up oil or cleaning birds or anything. I will be working in an office using GIS (heavens!!) to make maps of ongoing operations. I am SO PSYCHED that I get to use my GIS degree, finally!

Update2: There may be a field component to this work after all - going out & collecting coordinates where various activities are going on. If that's going on, I'm probably going to be doing that because I have my HAZWOPER training. Maybe I should pack my steel-toes after all...

Through my scientific study of those that burnt out at FEMA and those that didn't, those that partake in frequent gin and pudding seem far less likely to burn out.

You'd think that with all the money FEMA wastes on things like trailers and hotels (but not blue roofs, because they're awesome), they could throw some money down for gin and pudding. Hmph.

Closest you can get to that is for them to pay for a hotel room that comes with free booze, like the Homewood Suites where they have beer and wine in the evenings, or one of the fancier hotels that might leave you a bottle of wine.
