Random bits

yeah, yeah, shamelessly lifted from Zandria

1) I had to take a drug test this week, as I just got hired. I'm working for the city of Ann Arbor over the summer. I'll be teaching a kids day camp at a canoe livery, so we'll be doing environmental ed with a boating/aquatics spin. The drug test was really nifty, actually. You do the standard pee in a cup, but it's a special kind of cup. It has a little thermometer, so they can verify it's actually from your body. Then, I had to peel a big strip off, and it exposed a bunch of meters. Two lines means no drugs, and I had two lines straight across. Woot! (side note: this was the expected result.) In retrospect, I really should have taken a picture. It was really sweet. It's an instant drug test, and the lady never had to touch the cup. Once I was done, I poured out the urine and tossed the cup in the garbage.

2) I'm still working on my 101 things, but I've been lazy about crossing stuff off. I'm starting to think I'll just cross stuff off at the end of the month unless I write a specific post about it. Recently, I've had plenty of stuff to write about, so I haven't written about the mundane items. For example, I tried to give blood a week ago. My crit was too low -- a common occurrence for me -- so I couldn't donate. But I did try!

3) I got a Nikon D40 as my graduation present. It is pretty rad. I used it to take all my Chicago pictures. I anticipate lots of fun with this little baby. I'm still in the market for a compact little point and shoot I can use for the everyday carry type of camera.

I like when people steal things from me! (Well, unless someone tried to take my writing and pass it off as their own. I've heard it happens. And that would suck.)

Your job for the summer sounds really cool, and right up your alley. Awesome new camera, too!
