Since I'm sitting at a closed CDC this Monday morning with the two other people in my branch that didn't get the memo: "CDC's Atlanta campuses will open at 10 am Eastern time Monday, March 2, due to inclement weather," I thought it would be a good opportunity to update my blog!
Last week (week 4 of 6) was a bit more varied than the previous weeks...I went to the Georgia Aquarium with a USDA veterinarian, went to a meeting in Conyers, GA between USDA, CDC, and some state of Georgia veterinarians to discuss funding and projects, and accompanied the USDA vet (from the Aquarium trip) to a horse farm east of Athens on Friday. The Friday trip was fun, and it was nice to be out of the office, though on that particular day, "out of the office" meant "standing in the rain." But thankfully I had my new rain jacket that I got for Christmas, and I stayed dry!
Joel and I met again in Birmingham this weekend, and I decided that I wasn't going to let Atlanta traffic beat me again, so we devised a new way for me to get out of town. Joel was sitting at his desk in Starkville looking at Google maps and Atlanta traffic cams, guiding me down some back roads to avoid the two hours of traffic that I ran into last trip. I'm not quite sure if this way was faster, but at least I was moving the speed limit the entire time, so I felt like it was!
In Birmingham, we enjoyed a really really lazy weekend, and woke up to a winter wonderland on Sunday! We were glad we were at Andrew and Amy's for the surprise snow, because Joel and I certainly wouldn't have been building snowmen and throwing (as many) snowballs if it has just been the two of us in Starkville. I'll post some pictures from the weekend tonight from the house!
Well, I guess I'll go now- only 1 hour and 4 minutes until people should start showing up at work!
