I didn't go to the lab today. This is the 2nd or 3rd day I haven't gone to the lab. So which is it? The 2nd or 3rd day? I really can't remember. It's amazing what you can't remember when you don't need to think about anything. Sometimes I'm just sitting here and I can't even remember how long I've been here. I'm looking at a website, but I'm not really reading it, nor do I know how long I've been looking at it. Anyways, I feel like I should go to the lab because I feel guilty for not doing anything. All of my coworkers are there for most of the day, but when I go there, they never need help and most of the time they are just chatting anyway. I could pretend I'm working by doing the same redundant tests that I do everyday, but this got old last week. My document was accepted with no further updates, so I don't even have that to do. The tension has subsided a little bit. I've been forgotten here, but people are friendly when they see me. I can't wait to leave this place. One more day!!! The only problem is I have to wait until Monday for my stuff to get moved to my new cubicle. The secretary for my new job sent me all these cardboard boxes to move my stuff. I store all my stuff in one file cabinet so I don't need them. I try to travel as light as possible. It's easy to let your office accumulate with worthless junk or old papers from old projects. I'm going to throw away everything I have from this project. There is nothing here of value and nothing here I ever want to remember. Aside from that, I am thankful that I get to move on. There is no guarantee that the next job is golden. It is only my prayer that I will be content with what I'm given. I've realized it does me no good to agonize over these things in the short term, but instead I should patiently plan my next move. I am confident the next job will be better, but I'm not expecting very much so that I'm not disappointed. I have a very good imagination and I tend to get disappointed quite often as a result.

Anyways, we got 5.5 inches last night because of that storm. Crazy! There was even hail in some parts. The power went out in some neighborhoods. It was really odd that this storm only occurred in one part of L.A. It was like the wrath of God was unleashed on that part of the city. I don't believe it was really the wrath of God though because people were only inconvenienced. There was no damage and no death and no hardship. God's wrath is pretty obvious and impossible to ignore. Still, nothing happens without Him knowing about it.

The location of where I work is kind of in the boonies. When I first started working here, we were the only office building surrounded by vacant fields. Over the past two years, all these warehouses have been folding up on all these vacant fields. One area is particularly interesting though. All these buildings look the same so the process is repeated over and over in constructing them. They dig for the foundation, lay the concrete, and fold up the building like legos. Well, this one lot started the digging, then I noticed one day that there were men walking around dressed in bunny suits and gas masks. There was tape surrounding the area labeled "asbestos". I thought that was weird considering nothing was built there, so why is there asbestos? The next day after that, a temporary chain link fence was put up around the field. The day after that, a tarp was put on the fence so nobody could see in. ??? A couple weeks later, the fence was taken away and building resumed, now the bunny suit guys are in the adjacent field. I can't help but think this is an X-Files moment. The other thing I can't help but think is do I need a bunny suit and gas mask? If guys are walking around in the open air but need air tight clothes and have to breathe through a filter, what difference does it make on the other side of the fence where I am??? I don't think it's asbestos. It all looks fishy to me.
