Saint Louis

It's hard to believe my trip to saint louis is already over. I am currently sitting at my gate waiting to fly back to DC. I had a fantastic time here- it was good to get away. Casey and I went to the arch yesterday- took the egg elevator to the top- all 630 feet. What a view. For those of you who don't know baseball season started and some of you know what a rare breed the cardinal fans are. We were downtown already from visiting the arch, so we stopped in at TGIF and had a few beers and happy hour priced food. While everyone was decked out in red and white, Casey and I strolled in with his NY Yankees hat and my Colorado shirt (apparently they played Colorado yesterday) Whoops :) I had my interview this morning- Same gig as last time- started with close to 100 people, now down to 6. They finish interviews tomorrow and I imagine I will hear within 2 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because I have no doubt in my mind that these other people have a lot more experience. One of the things I would be doing with this keeper position would be to 1-2 times a week gear up in my scuba stuff and dive in the hippo pool and vaccum all the crap out. When Casey and I wandered over to see the hippos, 2 girls were getting ready to do that! It was funny to listen to all the people comment oh, "oh my gosh, can you imagine if that was your job.... oh my gosh, who on earth would ever want to do that.... oh my, they must smell so bad after doing that.... do you think that is in the job description?...." we were both giggling to the side. So now here I am, ready to go back to the circus. This Friday will be 10 months since I first joined up in Omaha. Hard to believe I have almost made it a year. I'm ready to be done! And no matter where I go, I somehow always end up being pulled back to this state- So in the mean time, I will just keep my fingers crossed......
