A lot of this week has been spent doing more paperwork and filling out more green tags. One fun thing I did was help put together shelves which meant I put on a safety harness and got to climb all over the shelving unit. A less fun thing was cleaning hardware; the mechs had taken tubing off Alvin and wanted to keep the fittings on the ends. So I took them apart (got myself covered in oil in the process), cleaned them, and tried to sort them. It’s really difficult when the bins to store the pieces are labeled by part number which is not on the actual part. After that, I started hunting down all the implodable volumes that had been taken off the sub and all the spares wherever they had been stored (I’ve written about implodable volumes previous in week 14). There is a long list of all the implodable volumes and I’ve been given the job to track them all down and store them in one location. Every item has a unique serial number that has to match what is on the list. Finding the serial number on the part and matching it to what it should be is quite the endeavor.
