If you’re up there Superman…Save Me!
So, I arrived at the new pilot plant we’re trying to set up, and holy crap do I have no idea what I am doing. I went to look at the equipment that is already installed and ready to go…and I was just like…wtf is all this? Seriously, I’m in way over my head. I’m hoping that the guy who is coming later can explain it all to me and give me some suggestions on how to freaking run the equipment. Sigh. It’s times like this I HATE being an engineer. Again with the feeling that I have to fake my way through the project and hope nobody catches on that I am COMPLETELY clueless! (It’s been working for the past 3 years…so hopefully I can keep it up haha). I’m also having some fun ingredient issues. I have no idea when or if half the ingredients will even be here…so this will be an interesting trip for sure. Sigh.
However, on a positive note…I did finish the first of the fat ankle socks for Jess, and I’m almost done the leg part of the second sock. However, I really want to keep them…they’re really comfortable. I’m actually worried they may be a little large for her. They’re a lot looser than the socks I normally make (thanks a lot ribbing), so I’m worried they will be too large for her legs. However, if they are too big…I can always keep them for myself :-). I guess I’ll let her try them on and decide if she wants them or not. I really really really like the yarn. It’s soooo soft. I must buy more of this yarn if I can.
Anyways, I’m looking for some places that I can eat dinner at tonight where I won’t feel like an idiot eating alone. I think this is what I hate most about traveling. Usually, I either travel with someone else in my group, or I travel to places where I know people and just eat with them. However, on this trip I’m totally by myself in a place where I know no one. Last night I ate dinner all by myself (at the hotel restaraunt so I didn’t feel like a total loser…I figured other people probably eat there alone as well), but I don’t really want to eat there everynight. Maybe I’ll just go to Panera’s every night :-P.
