Fear ye all who enter here, for…
IIIIIIIIII’mmm baaaaaaaaaaccckkk!
Hey all,

Today’s the first day back for the new week, and I hope everyone had a wonderful day.
For me, I’d call today a good day, if a little on the less exciting side. However, it did start out interesting with a fire truck in front of one of the entrances to RTI, as depicted below:

Never figured out why it was there, but I hope everyone was safe!

Otherwise, there were a ton of meetings, with a right off the back discussion with Dr. Thornburg, Emily, and I on questions with what he does at RTI and his average workday. After meeting Dr. Thornburg, Mrs. Michelle and I shipped out some sensors to one of the projects she started. Here’s a picture of the final packaging:

After that, we went to a safety meeting where I trailed behind lost as they argued over room numbers and the like. Apparently, they were making sure the old building design door numbers and the new blue print door numbers matched up. Interestin, to say the least. Later, Mrs. Allen stopped by for a quick check up and tour by Dr. Thornburg. 

After meeting Mrs. Allen, but before lunch, we learned how to use the software for the new micropems, which we are starting work on tomorrow. For lunch, I had a delicious cheeseburger and onion rings, and happened to meet Jonathan and Kiran who had transferred from to the forensics department of RTI for this week, an unexpected, but welcome, surprise.

After lunch, we retrieved data from some field tests until a meeting with Mr. Mecham, who gave some life tips and shared his background with us, much as with Dr. Thornburg this morning.

That pretty much concludes my day. I hope you all enjoy your day as well!

Sincerely,

Cameron L.

P.S. For those confused with the title’s joke, 1) it’s a reference to Star Wars, and 2) RTI stands for research triangle institute, so I just extended the first word for RTI to make ReTI… So yeah, hope you enjoyed the joke!
