Welcome to Shift "D"

  Hello everyone, this is Marcus. Vinai has finally granted me permission to write on this blog so I will give the other side your work experience but it will be the other night shift's view; we're the Thursay to Sunday shift. So sometimes it will be me writing or Dan Simkins but will try our best to keep you to date on the utter GA Yes that goes on here. I'll always be putting up some older pictures and videos from this wonderful time we're having here. Fun for the whole family... not.

  For starters we showed up to work on Thursday and there was no internet or good phone service. Vinai had said something about days earlier but we just thought it was the normal run of the mill stuff for why it's not working and being that we left work on Sunday afternoon and we saw the service provider out there working (and I use this term rather loosely) on it. So since no one could gives us a resonable answer to why the internet was still down. Dan and myself took a trip out to the internet site and discovered that there was no power. To be more accute the power cord to the unit was in the snow and there was no generator (yes, lol) to be found. After finding out this was going to be a simple fix, we ventured back to our work area and collected our Bobcat and found a generator to take out there. Append reaching our gate to leave the work area, we were met by the Army and told that we can't take generator out there. 

  Now I'll be leaving out some of the lameness because it hurts too much to write about it but we'll fast-forward to today. At the end of our shift I get a call from the military and they want Dan and I to come down and talk with them and the Internet/phone provider. We're sitting in this 'meeting' and the provider is telling us that reason that we don't have internet/phone is because his workers saw a 'wolf'. Nevermind the fact that we're over 5,000 ft up and the saw the wolf on the way UP the mountain while they still were in their car. Later talking with Dan we came to the conclusion that we were both sitting there thinking to ourselves did he just say wolf? We've been without internet and phone communication for about 6 days because you all seen one wolf on ur way up the mountain. O o o OK? (Even more frustrating is that this didn't become a big issue until we tried to take a generator out there, 3 days after the internet and phone lines went down)

 That was this afternoon and now I'm proud to say I'm at work (the beginning of a 24 hr shift, more GA Yes) typing this out because now we have internet and phone service...
