Maybe because the view is so familiar, I keep forgetting to photograph (digitally snap?) my snowy volcanic surrounds. I did pretty thoroughly document the creatures in the “touch tank,” though, so here you go:
These guys are a starfish and a nudibranch. When out on business, the divers pick up various harmless undersea blobs for us to *carefully handle* and increase appreciation of science, or something. It was really interesting to hold them, though I wondered how my really warm hand compared to their typical 29F saltwater environment.
In work-related news, I have wrangled with many a spreadsheet; most frustratingly while trying to update instruction sheets and forms that we display, poster-size, in the warehouse so people properly categorize their packaged cargo. The pain of formatting everything was redeemed by using the science lab’s giant-ass printer (or “plotter”). This beast stands almost as tall as me, can print four feet wide, and automatically cuts its fancy paper upon completion. After witnessing this technological marvel, it was fun to fire up the ol’ Master Lam 72 laminator, straight out of an early-90s elementary school. It did a fine job, though, and I happily adhered my new posters to the warehouse wall.
Other than that fieldtrip, there have been lots of barcodes and phone transfers. And then I signed up to shovel snow for two hours on my day off, to hasten the reopening of my favorite hiking trail. There are some real gung-ho shovelers in this town, let it be known.
