CIT tryout yielded another crop of staff hopefuls and a few new terms.  At one point, we had to move a large cart that had flat tires.

I had a meeting at 2 o’clock and thought that I should use the rest room before so I wouldn’t be late.  I triumphantly enter the stall, squat and the waiting begins.  Maybe it was the recovery from yesterday’s fasting, or maybe it was eating shells and cheese for lunch but I think I could [...]
