Things can get really stessful we you don't have a way to contact the outside world. Usually I have no problem disconnecting when I don't have service, and just saying "I'll deal with it when I get home." However today I was severely stressed out because there was an occassion where it was very important that somebody in the group have cell service. As we were leaving Old Faithful, I checked my email in which a woman that had contacted me on LinkedIn about a job informed me that she needed to talk to me on the phone and have my resume before 5:30pm on Friday for me to be considered for the position. I recieved this email at 7:00pm EST on Wednesday. So needless to say, for the first part of today I was freaking out trying to see when people had service. It wasn't until 4:00pm EST that anyone in the group got service. I called the woman while we waited for our guide to show up, and I must say, all the stress and freaking out was worth it, as I landed an interview for shortly after I return home from the trip. As I have yet to hear back from any of the other jobs I applied for and the reality that I will not have a job when I get home is sinking in more and more the closer I get to the conclusion of this trip, having an interview is very exciting.
Aside from that anxiety and excitement, today was more of a driving day to look at various features within the park. We visited The Norris Geyser Basin and Mammoth Hot Springs (where there are no mammoths). And on our way back to the campsite we saw a grizzly bear cub nomming some grass on the side of the road.
