Day 3 in the "Outbacks"


Got my fridge today! A big thank you and I love you to Matt for insisting on carrying it back to my dorm for me. Going to set it up later tonight and then I'll have cold drinks and be able to keep my leftovers! Need to head up to Labyrinth and get some books, then meeting up with Lawrence tonight for a game of pool with Matt. =]

Didn't realize classes started next Wednesday - thought for some reason that it started the week after that. Woops. Totally not ready. Gah.

Command reports thus far (apart from medical issues/evacs): bear-bagging rope lost in tree, broken trowels, fake British accents, requests for soy sauce/cheese/apples/olive oil... The list goes on. We're also assigning stars and emoticons to vans for how much we like them.


Highlights of today (afternoon shift):
~ A trip left extra cheese with a support van, and now wants the cheese back

~ Telling Hansen (actually Hansen this time) that he doesn't get water again (this time because they chose to cancel their support drop)

~ A trip forgot how to use Aquamira and only used Part B

Me: "If you're not crying, you're not doing it right."

Elan (regarding my blog): "The tone of your posts changes dramatically as I become either more human or more clown-like in your eyes."

Elan: "We can't leave our chickens without sheepdogs!"

Kathryn: "OA Command, this is Kathryn."
Hansen: "This is H2."
Kathryn: "HANSEN!"
Hansen: "Wait, who is this?"

Rick (on the phone): "Yeah, and he's a real jerk. You don't want to get tied up with that guy."

Elan (after me telling him a trip is on the line for him): -deadpan monotone- "I'm so excited to talk to them."

Kevin: "You aren't playing Ultimate Frisbee; you don't have enough people to be playing Ultimate Frisbee. You were just running after it."
