How I Spent My Summer

By the end of September work inside our building was finally wrapping up. We were all tired of being the warehouse Swiss Family Robinson...tired of the tubes and the porta potties...tired of sharing phones and computers...we wanted our home back.

All of our furniture had to be replaced, and although it was nice to have a new area, and a new modular and a new computer....we did have to pitch in and put them all together. It was like turning 60 people loose in a big empty building with nothing but instructions from IKEA. We knew the pieces fit together...but they didn't tell us they fit together lots of different ways.

Everyone became impatient as the move in date back into the building got closer and closer...of course everyone wanted to be the first back in, but IT was very specific about who had phone and computer access first...it got a bit ugly I can tell you...but by the first week of October we were back in our home...our roof now able to withstand any storm or natural disaster the desert could dish out. Life settled back into its natural rhythm in seemingly no time...and now we all had stories to tell of how we spent our summer...roughing it.
