I have tomorrow off. Happy 4th on the 2nd! That meant that we were
supposed to get off every day this week at 4:30. Ha! We did on Monday
and Tuesday. Then we were hit by some humongous orders. Yesterday we
got off at 6. Today we finally got to leave at 6:45…and that was just
us new people. Everyone else had to help fill pink cards (which we
haven’t been trained to do), so I don’t know when they got to go home.

So what are we doing on our three-day weekend? We’re driving to
Chicago! Berck’s sister Sydney just moved there with the AmeriCorps
VISTA program, and she can ride the L around. With a car more of a
liability than an asset, she offered it to us to babysit until she
finishes her term in January. An extra car! Woohoo!

Berck is working on making CD’s of our favorite radio show This American Life
so we can listen to them on the 11 to 12 hour drive.
