The past two days on the job have brought me to the conclusion that you have to a)be at least a little crazy to work here, and b)have the capacity to let your mind jump from one task to another every 14 seconds.
For instance: today I arrived, thinking I was just attending a pool conference in the morning and would have nothing to do the rest of the day. However, that was not the case. I had two septic system tests to schedule, a pile of temporary food licenses to sort through and schedule inspection times for this weekend, then was asked to go check out an extensive septic system that a farmer decided he was going to install himself. I was impressed, to say the least. He had dug a hole, approximately 15 feet wide, 15 feet deep, and 20 feet wide to put the tank in and over 1200 square feet of trenches BY HAND. And he had 5 more trenches to dig. Then I came back and talked to a guy on the phone who wanted to know what kind of cleaner to use on the floor of his daycare, while trying to plan out my next day of restaurant inspections.
We can't work more than 40 hours per week without getting scolded, so I have to figure out how much time it will take to drive to each temporary location over the weekend and do the inspections and then take off early some day this week.
It's wild and crazy! but i like it.

We sent you to college to use your brain. Hope all that knowledge is doing you some good. You went to Sunday School and church most of your life, too. I think those roots have finally taken hold to help the strong, healthy plant grow.
yes, mom, i've learned enough to know you should never try to install a septic system yourself, using only a shovel and a pick axe. thank you bradley university.
