Another stressing moment led to a nice opportunity and a good experience. On Wednesday I went to my organization's office and there learned that the next day no one would be present though I had a training planned. I would need to wait for Me' Ellen to arrive and give permission for me to have the key to the main hall. Mind you, it was eleven when I arrived at the offices; she was still at home and would not be back until after lunch. She didn't finally show until 3 but I didn't just wait around like I feared.
Two field officers from the office were headed to the wool shed this day and I asked if I might accompany them to the shed. Have never gone to the shed though I teach wool spinners, this seemed like an excellent opportunity to learn about the process while taking up some time. This thought proved truer once I arrived.
The people working at the shed were very nice and inviting. I feared making trouble out of the distraction I had become. Everybody loved that I was taking pictures. Even the manager, a very large older woman who did NOT want a picture of herself, approved of my freely walking about the shed. I can't say I learned a great deal more than I already knew though I do have a better idea how it all works. There are some pretty awesome pictures that I will have to post as soon as I get around to it.
