Hello fellow people of the world!
Happy Monday to you.
It was a day shift for me: Water Treatment Plant.
I haven't got a lot to say today...
Actually, my first draft of this post digressed into a lengthy tangent on the technical details of pH correction at the plant.
I'm enjoying writing about the process chemistry.
Anyway, I'll pick that up another day.
In the morning while I walked from the Control Room to the Chlorine Dosing Building for the daily rounds, I found a worker bee walking along the ground.
She seemed healthy enough.
It was a bit unusual that she was walking around on the asphalt.
Instead of say, bombilating about in the air, collecting pollen, dancing at her fellow hivemates and just generally having a good time, as bees do.
I put my hand down to the ground and, as you can see, she climbed on.
I took her back to the Control Room and had her at my desk while I did some administrivia.
She walked around for about 10 minutes, then started to fly at the window.
After buzzing around and bouncing off the glass a few times, she landed on the window frame.
I gently coaxed her back onto my hand, and took her outside.
A gust of wind caught her as I stepped out the door and she sailed over to a nearby shrub.
Goodbye little friend!
