If you show symptoms with 48 hours, they want you to call. I had thought of that, but that would have been Friday. If you go in sick, they turn you away.

Looking to upgrade. This interview is with Deere proper, whereas I am only contracted right now. A bit more stability, and a little closer to home.

Good morning Iowa, happy Friday! At home today, with my sick daughter. This is day 3, so we're off to see the doc here shortly. Roger, hope that interview works out!

Seemed to go well. They have a few more to interview. Probably the biggest factor will be the lack of robotics experience. I have no concerns learning it, but as with anything, why train if someone with experience comes to them.

Might get a bit icy here tomorrow... Currently just a winter storm watch, have to see if it turns into an ice storm warning. At least it is on a day that not as many need to be out. I'll just walk across my lane to my shop..

winter storm watch up here in northern iowa
* STORM TOTAL SNOW/ICE ACCUMULATIONS...AN ICE ACCUMULATION OF ONE QUARTER TO ONE THIRD OF AN INCH IS LIKELY. SOME ACCUMULATION OF SLEET IS ALSO POSSIBLE...BUT A SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION IS NOT EXPECTED.
could get interesting. just wish it would be snow

Agreed... If I do get and take the job in Waterloo, these kinds of occasions will make life real interesting
