I got called into the principal's office today. And by principal, I mean owner of JL. And, I got ratted out by the lab director.
I had just finished trashing the samples when teh lab director came out and asked where the samples were. "The trash", I reply. He shakes his head and goes tattle to the owner. Myself and the girl who helped me got called in over the lab intercom. I couldn't believe it! I was standing right near the office doors! They told me what I already knew about there being "critters" in the media. I told them that yesterday, I was told to just throw everything in the dumpster. More headshaking and lecturing.
Dumpster diving ensued.
It's been a LONG day and I can't sleep even though I'm tired.
One cool thing: the LD and another gentleman, Lucio, were the ones leaning into the dumpster. Lucio did NOT want to. I kept saying to "let me", "I didn't mind", "it was my fault", etc...but Lucio waved me away and said "No, you are a lady. I won't have it." He's Italian. :) I thought it was nice. He's been one of the few nice people. Alot of folks didn't like the IEH takeover and it probably doesn't help that Hans and I have commandeered parts of the lab and get priority. Whatever.
Since I couldn't sleep and I needed actual food I went to have an early dinner at Mimi's Cafe. Yum! Nice atmosphere too. It's kind of gawdy-cajun-bistro with 40s/50s jazz. Amazing muffins and bread with the meal. I had cajun spiced chicken with fresh fruit and salad (no spinach). Highly recommend it!
I'm getting sick, I'm already tired, and I don't like eating out so much. But overall, I'm having a great time. It's been extremely challenging and it's been great being at the beginning.
I'll try to type more about California later. Strange place this land of...

Is California still the granola cereal state? What's not fruit and nuts is flakes?
If you're in Modesto you're only a half hour or so north from you point of begining - Castle AFB. maybe your group can get a couple of hours free and head down to Winton and Atwater. I think the base is now a commercial air park. I don't know if the museum is still there.
It sounds like your education is paying off and you're having a good time putting it to good use. I think I detected a little attitude, but that shouldn't be a surprise. I hope they appreciate you more after this test.
Good luck with your house hunting. Enjot the rest of your stay in CA.
The principal's office!! What a joke. Did you have to stay in for recess too!!!
Thats crazy news!
