Career Day

Yesterday Nick went into Allison's classroom to talk about his job. The kids asked questions beforehand all about what they wanted to know... and I thought it was quite amusing that all their questions centered around how long he works, how many hours, what days does he have off, how he gets to work... nevermind anything about what SRP does, etc... He gave an overview of the different types of electricity, showed them with a balloon and a kid's hair what static electricity was, what dams did to channel electricity, and how SRP gets electricity to their customers, what we use electricity for, and how to conserve electricity. Yeah, he lost them quite a few times, but it was fun. He even tried to teach the kids about the law of supply and demand and handed out little blinking toys... (methinks they didn't get that concept a bit!) Ha! Allison's lucky to have a dad (one of VERY few) who was totally willing to volunteer to speak - even on a morning in the middle of the week! What a guy...
