And We're Off!
Heading off to the airport, IAH! Next Stop Atlanta, then a straight 15 hrs to Joburg, where we'll catch another plane to Gaborone!

First shift
Yesterday was my first shift with my regular preceptor on a 24 hour shift. The day started off fast - we were in the truck bay doing checkout and we barely got into it before we received a call - possible stroke.
