Consulting with Deedles and some coworkers, supervisors

I’ve tossed my hat into the ring

It’s still academic, as in summers off, but a raise (boosted by both a weekend and evening differential) and shift in supervisors and coworkers, tasks.
The evening shift is early enough, NOT ideal, but what is? Trade offs…
Deedles just passed his road test and is the proud owner of a Maine drivers license, so that opens up possibilities! His tester informed him that he was one of the best he’d ever had, no surprise there but a nice thing to hear!
