Potluck Dinner

We had almost forgotten about the scheduled potluck dinner last night. It was the 2nd one we've had since we arrived and it started at 6 PM, which was during our work schedule. The way they have these set up is that someone who normally works your area but is not scheduled at that time will stand in for you while you go and eat - of course, you have to sign out for your regular dinner hour. Anyway, it was a fun event that was more enjoyable for us this time since we know everybody much better than we did the first time. Josie made a delicious carrot raisin salad.

It was 98 degrees yesterday which is above the normal for this area. Our desk is located at the front of the building where we always have the door open so it was especially warm for us. It seemed like the heat was affecting everybody as there were more "grouchy" people coming in than normal. Karen also noticed that people had a short fuse yesterday. We're glad that day is over.

We found out that the Park County Fair will be on this weekend so we are planning to go there on one of our days off this week. We used to enjoy going to all the Fairs when we lived in Washington so it will be nice to see how they differ in this part of the country.

Today is our "hump" day at work which puts us half way there for the work week. We're hoping that the temperature is closer to our normal in the high 80's. The day is starting out to be another clear, hot one, so I suppose we'll just roll with what we get...
