PooPoo Camp


Well, well, well...I never thought in a thousand years I'd ever say this, "Thank you, Lord, for helping me pass my 'poopoo test'!" Yesterday I retrieved my test results and I passed, whew. Now why, in the world you might ask, did I have to become licensed in Wastewater Treatment? The City of Goree needs a licensed operator or they get in big trouble with the TCEQ. (a.k.a. the 'poopoo police')

Now here's my gripe...

I went to three days of "sewer camp" (thank you, Jill) and took a test (in which I barely squeaked by), and yet I remain clueless. The manual contained only four pages that apply to our type of system. And after questioning the instructor and TCEQ proctor, no answers were given to help me maintain healthy BOD or in laymen's terms, sewage strength. They just said keep your bugs happy. Well, hello, how? That's why I went to Poopoo School, to learn! In short, we are on our own. Pray that we are good teachers to ourselves and that we don't have to learn all of our lessons the hard or expensive way.

Sigh~

It sounds like you didn't have any fun at all! I'm sorry you still have questions! Did you get a t-shirt? How was the food? Did you have a nice cabin?

Man, sewer camp just isn't what it used to be!

LOOOOOOL! You are bad, very bad! No shirt, but the Embassy Suites was worth the trip. And we didn't starve.
