The Worst Job Ever!!

Last week I finally found a job, however, it is defintely the worst job ever! I work for a seed company as a conditioning operator, which bascially means that I run seeds through mills. Currently, we are running onion seeds, which stink like crazy. I have to go straight home and hop in the shower so the smell doesn't stick to me. There are two upsides to this job, one is that I get off work at 3:30, and two is that I am now officially fork lift certified! I even have a spiffy certificate and card to prove it. I only missed one question on my 74 question test, so basically I am amazing! The other day I sat on a five gallon bucket for five hours picking junk off watermelon seeds one seed at a time. Each seed is worth $0.25, so they can't have anything on them when they leave the conditioning building. At least watermelon seeds don't stink, but they do turn your hands brown. I am pretty sure that if by next summer I am not able to make good money working at a hospital, that I will look elsewhere for a job besides my current employment. I am loving being at home, and am dreading the day that I have to move back to Rexburg. I would take working rather than moving back, which is saying a lot.

Green Envelopes

Skunked again!! It has officially been a month and a half since I have seen a green envelope in the mailbox. It's not that it's really the color that matters, it's really more about where it comes from. Unfortunatly I realized the other day that this prized green letter may in fact be on it's way back to the Phillippines. You see, when I moved home I neglected to fill out a fowarding address form, so that small green envelope with a red and blue striped border and butterfly and bird stamps may be well on it way on the ten day journey back to Angeles, Phillippines. This news of course was hard for me to swollow, however I still have a small ounce of hope left in that the sender was smarter than I and sent it to my current address. So until monday I will cross my fingers and wish real hard that the next time I walk across the street and open that forest green mailbox, that there will be a seafoam green envelope with a read and blue striped border, and bird and butterfly stamps laying on the bottom of the mailbox waiting for me to open it.

Deciding to Conform

I have officially decided to conform to the vast majority of college students and start my own blog. I find it funny that I hadn't thought of using a blog for a "journal" before, however public it may be. I think that my excuse for not starting it earlier was that I thought that it would take up way too much of my time, although I hadn't thought that actually writing a journal would probably take just as much of my precious time as this would. Besides, this page is much more cute than any lined paper would be. So to all of those who find this page, please don't judge...and hopefully you may find some humor in my daily life happenings!
