Bureaucracy

After battling morning traffic to the Bronx, I reported to Fort Schuyler for my first day on the job. When I got there I found out that my government issued TWIC card that I need to be allowed on the docks (and the ship), was sitting in someone's office in the Battery in Manhattan 15 LONG miles away. So, instead of working on preparing the library all day, I had to drive into lower Manhattan, on a rainy workday, to claim my card. GRRRRRRR! Consequently, I now have to squeeze 2 days of prep into a single day. Nobody said this trip was going to be easy, but it will be fun.
