One of my co-workers transferred out today. As of some time next week, she'll be working at whatever the main airport in Las Vegas is. She seemed pretty happy with the move, given that she grew up there, and I'm happy for her for it...still, kinda bummed. She's a cool lady.
Not gonna be short-staffed at all, however, since her replacement arrived on the last flight of the evening. What would bring someone from New York City to here is beyond me, though. *shrug*
Other than that, though, one rather amusing point in the day: Had to ship 2 boxes full of knives, tools, and other things people had to give up at the checkpoint to our main office. To keep them from destroying the boxes they were in, Eric asked me to, and I quote his instructions exactly (at least, exactly as I recall), "duct tape the bejeezus out of those things."
I don't want to say I went overboard on it, but...well, they went from being cardboard boxes to silvery blocks, and our supply of 3 rolls of duct tape is now down below half. I don't wanna say I used a lot on them, but I'd wager these things may very well be bulletproof.
This does beg one question for me that I forgot to consider while I was doing that, though....how the the guys we sent them to going to get those things open?
I believe the correct phrase here is "Oops."
