Locked In or Jump Fence?

Saturday night Jen and I stayed up until midnight waiting for a group to get in. We watched Twilight then played cards. We were both exhausted and so were giggling a lot. It was pretty fun.

We got some new volunteers in that are a little...I guess they're spacy. We tell the volunteers that if they're the last one's out to lock the main gate. This group has tried locking Jen and I in three times. The second time they asked us "Do we lock you in or will you jump the fence?" Jen and I just looked at each other with that "did we honestly just get asked that?" sort of look. The sad thing is, this group isn't smarter than the combination lock. They haven't been able to lock it yet, so they close the gate (but not the main gate, they close the little one between the parking lot and the buildings) and loop the chain through it and hang the lock on it. The first time the lock was still sideways, so it was clear it wasn't locked. We've laughed pretty hard about it.

So beside some small quirks (and what groups won't have them?) we've got some more great volunteers. Suprisingly, we're still getting a lot of college aged folks. We've got two groups from Seattle this week and we have another one or two groups next week.

Now I'm just waiting for the confirmation email telling me the Sam's order is ready to pick up. Then Jen and I will go do that. We're hoping to have a little time this afternoon to stop by a worksite, but yesterday we were hoping for a little time to have a nap and that didn't happen. (We were looking for a FedEx because someone left a blackberry and said they'd pay for it to be shipped overnight. Well turns out the nearest FedEx is in the Marriot Hotel. Very confusing.) So we'll see how today goes.
