First Day at Work

Well I had some trouble with the bus this morning but I did eventually get to work. Since my computer login was not ready we went out to lunch and then I read about the county regulations- and only fell asleep once. Also got the tour and met many of the people who make the flood control agency work including permit reviewers, planners, engineers, field workers, inspectors, project managers, GIS people, public call takers, and floodplain delineators. It's a fairly large department since they have to keep up with federal, state, and local regulations and agencies as well as educate and take input from the community and do much of what's involved with the actual physical planning.

The heat is pretty extreme but feels good for a few minutes if you are coming from an office with AC. I did a lot of walking today -which was actually pretty enjoyable despite the sun.
