Yakutraz Day II

I woke up the next morning and looked in the cupboards for some breakfast. Doritos and beef jerky. I was listening to my headphones after changing my clothes and went back into the kitchen. I jumped back and yelped when I saw a ginormous spider in the sink. It had been there the whole time I was rummaging around for food. After collecting myself I slowly reached for the Dawn soap. I snuck around to the other side of the sink and doused it so it couldn't escape. After he was sufficiently immobilized I flushed him down the drain. I then searched all of the crevasses for more spiders lurking. When I was certain the infestation had been quelled I set out for the day.

I headed for Canon Beach, which is apparently the only attraction in Yakutat since three people told me to visit it. I snapped a few photos while keeping a watchful eye out for bears, which I knew must number in the millions in this part of Alaska. Though I wasn't mulled this time, I wasn't taking any chances. Travelling back to town I passed a sign that was much more appropriate then the two "Welcome to Yakutat" signs just up the road. It said Middle of Nowhere. The second day at the credit union wasnt nearly so stressful, but I had to help all the members myself since the teller with all the 3 weeks experience wasn't working that day. I was still there until almost 7pm trying to work out all the vault problems. I'd like to say I got in some good overtime, but since the branch doesn't open up until late I wasn't even making my 8 hours some days.

I bought some groceries alt Mallot's General Store, the biggest business for the Yakutat CU. Marie Calendar TV dinners were $5 each. That's more than the inflated prices in Juneau. I can't wait until Wal-Mart opens. I miss Sam's Choice. I did find some itty bitty Hagen-Daz ice creams, tho. $1.49 for 4.23 oz. So I ate my ice cream and watched one of my Gene Hackman movies. With no alarm clock I set the timer on the kitchen stove to wake my up the next day.
