That’s right, washing dirt. Because clean dirt is happy dirt. 
So today I learned that clay is a pain to break up when wet, and more difficult when dry. I learned sifting dirt isn’t that easy. But you can find some neat small fossils and crystals. I also learned to wash dirt, which really means sifting it through a 200 filter. At that size you’re washing out the pieces that become suspended in water. So, you wash this stuff until it’s clear, which can take a darn long while.
I also learned that the people I work with are fun. There is yet another Navy guy, and the main person I worked with comes from a very military family. So I feel quite at home. I really like where I work. I know I’ll get bored at times, but that’s ok. At least I’m bored with dirt rather than programming!
In other good news, I was approved for a $1500 loan! That means we can pay this months rent and also put down a deposit on an apartment. I’ll have plenty of money for October rent, so this is perfect. I have crap credit, so this is a huge surprise. But they decided to give me a chance to prove myself. Hooray! I’m going to rebuild some of my credit. 
I’ll update more later, but I’m tired! Not good sleep last night at all.
