Condition 2 Today!
We had high hopes for today's Condition 2 storm to become a Condition 1, but in the end it just stayed a very blustery Condition 2. At lunch, there was talk that a Condition 1 storm would be called between 1pm and 2pm. Just after lunch I scrubbed the kickboards on Hwy 1 (the main hallway in the main building) with 2 other janitors. We spent the two hours scrubbing and every once in awhile running out to check on the storm. At our 3 o'clock break, our boss came around to tell us that since nobody else was working on station except for the kitchen, we could have the rest of the afternoon off.The Condition 2 warning on the ticker at the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 2 (the main hallways in the main building).
Me with no ECW on in a Condition 2 storm!
Me and Ana Bell on our scooters scrubbing kickboards in Highway 1. I have never had so many people ask me if I wanted a push! Work was pretty fun today!
This a close-up of me on my scooter scrubbing dirt off the kickboards!
Jim, one of my co-workers, wearing this strange Army face mask thing he skua-ed. He's taking his dinner with him home in case a Condition 1 is called. We're not allowed to leave a building when it's Condition 1.
I finally put on my ECW gear and went outside for another photo op!
Me holding onto the McMurdo Station sign so I don't blow away in a powerful gust of wind!
Look, Mom!! I'm wearing my goggles today!!

Thank you for finally providing my with photographic evidence that the marquees used to be in lower case and are now in upper case. I knew they had changed that!
