Hope your February is starting off well.Īnother six day work week of a filled dental schedule and a lot of folks with clean teeth has come to an end, so our one day weekend is upon us. I published what is probably my last Scallion for the season and didn’t see a pink slip from the admin folks that I like to rattle a little, so I guess they’re still willing to let me poke fun at their policies and procedures that often make no sense. Speaking of brain rattling, at lunch today I noticed the Traverse team arrived from McMurdo, hauling fuel and cargo 1000 miles in tractors at 6 ½ mph for 3 weeks that saves hundreds of thousands of dollars compared to flying. No time for a “handoff” orientation of dental equipment for the newbies, so I took pictures of the equipment and they’ll just have to muddle through it when a dental issue arises with me on the phone coaching them along.Ī few hours of volleyball Monday night, and pickleball last night have kept the waistline in check and not sure if we’ll get anything going tonight or opt for the physics lecture to exercise the brain a little. The dental schedule has come to a grinding halt since everyone that wanted to be seen has been taken care of, so I’ve got a day to clean up and get things organized for the winter doc and PA who arrive tomorrow on the same plane that I will depart. Today I flipped chicken on the grill and the scraps were much more tasty. I spent a few hours helping in the kitchen making samosas which are little triangular shaped dumplings which were ridiculously labor intensive but came out pretty good, especially with some chutney sauce. I’m scheduled to fly out tomorrow to spend a few days in McMurdo where it’s in the 20’s, which will seem like a heat wave.įollowing brunch on Sunday, Lisa the chef made a delicious Indian meal with Chicken Masala, Naan and a half dozen other dishes. Yesterday was -45F and today it is -52F even though the next full sunset is in mid March. No doubt here about winter staying around at the South Pole since as the sun dips below a critical angle, it gets noticeable colder each day. I then filed a complaint at the customer service desk, knowing that she would probably be rewarded for getting rid of another trouble maker that was not helping the airline return to profitability. So I finished my snack and left the lounge to spend the rest of the time in the terminal with the unwashed masses. I looked up and told her I would put my mask back on as soon as I was done eating, but she instructed me that the policy was even if I was eating that it was necessary to wear a mask in between bites! I then asked if it was necessary to put it on between breathes as well, at which point she realized I was one of those non-compliant types and that I would have to leave if I did not follow her directives. The place was all but deserted, but a lady who reminded me of one of our managed isolation guards came over to admonish me to wear a mask while I was in the lounge. I found the lounge and settled in with the meager pickings of an apple, some dried fruit and juice. Since I have a United Airlines credit card, it comes with a few United Club lounge passes that I rarely get to use, but figured it would be a good place to hang out in the Los Angeles airport for my 6 hour layover. On the second day of the citywide lockdown of Auckland, much to our relief, they let our plane fly out, (or maybe they threw us out) and sent us back to the US.
