Day 77 and 78

Day 77: Today was slow at Rapids and busy at Lynx. People were being very rude at Lynx too. I don't get how people can be so impatient. They seem to expect to get their food immediately right after ordering it. After that, I went home. Mallory and I went to the Nenana Grill for dinner.  I got lamb and risotto! It was so good. After that I went to bed. I wish my life was more exciting.

Day 78: Today was a DEX day so all the guests were leaving so it would be a bit busy at Rapids and completely dead at Lynx. I think I got a migraine while I was sleeping. So, I got to Rapids, felt like crap and asked to go home. I was able to. I called in for Lynx too. It wasn't busy at either place really so I don't feel so bad. I woke up a few times, but never actually got up until 6. I went down to dinner, then did some laundry. I watched Count of Monte Cristo and went to bed.

Oh, also, Anna comes up on Wednesday! I am so excited to see a familiar face! Hopefully, I can switch rooms and be roomies with her! I love my roommate Mallory, but I love Anna more!

Day 76

Today was even more slow than usual. I was so bored at both locations. Only two exciting things happened today: 1:Hannah got my package. 2: I started to work on makeup for Trisha and I for the Halloween party on Sunday night. Unfortunately, I get to work Monday morning. After work on Sunday, I am going to sleep right up until the party. I also found out that there is an awesome prize for 1st place in the costume contest. It is a night's stay in any of the lodges for free! I think there is more to it, but if not, that's still cool! I hope I win! I know my makeup will be awesome. For the costume part of it, it will be a bit fishy, no pun intended.

I figured out my scales and how part of my makeup will be, but I am just super worried about the costume part of it. As of right now, I have been told to wrap the cloth I have like a cocktail dress that is tight to the knees, then just do the scales down my legs. We will see what happens. I hope I come with a more mermaid looking outfit soon...

Off to bed at 830 :) It is so much easier to wake up at 3am when I go to bed this early. Who would have thought?!

Day 75

Last night I didn't get back from Fairbanks until 1030, so I didn't get much sleep. Work was really slow at both locations today. Tony somehow missed the bullet again. Emily and him had a talk and they worked it out.  I don't get how someone so terrible at a job can keep getting chances. Yes he is a hard worker when given a specific task to do (which he takes forever on), but other than that he is terrible AND OBNOXIOUS!

I got to take a nap today. I woke up exactly at 5pm with no alarm. It was nice. I watched 'Lord of the Dance' today. It is good. The best dances are the ones where a lot of people are in unison. Some of the girl dances are boring because there's not much aggression, just a lot of winking and jumping.

I am working on my costume now. I have to figure out to turn a bed sheet into a mermaid looking outfit. I could pull it tight near the knees and let the area at the bottom flow out a bit, but that really would limit my movement and that doesn't sound good. I know my makeup is going to be awesome. Hopefully I can think of something cool to do with my hair.

56 days left! Anna applied yesterday, so hopefully they called her about it. I hope she is hired and is able to come up. It would be nice to have someone from home here.

Day 73 and 74

Day 73: Well Tony made a huge mistake. He thought his bank was off, so he ended up trying to hide the fact by putting his own money in. In reality, his bank was right. So since it was off, I had to let Emily and accounting know. He should be getting fired.

I only worked a half day today. I got home and called Anna. Emily needs to hire some more people, and Anna seems more than interested. She says she will fill out an application online :) My day was pretty boring. I was going to stay up late with Trisha and Bre, but I had a headache and a stomach ache. I don't know what its from, but it sucks. It was probably food from the EDR (Employee Dining Room). The food isn't that great. That's why I go out every so often.

Day 74: I had today off and went to Fairbanks with Trisha. I had to get some things including stuff for Megan and Robert, as well as my Halloween costume (we celebrate it here at Homestead on Sunday, and Christmas is next month :) ). I am going to be a mermaid. I saw some sticker gems and decided to do that makeup which made me have to be a mermaid. Hopefully it turns out as well as I am seeing it in my head.

We had Quiznoes, then I went tanning for the first time. The heat felt good. I got some vitamin D and a little bit of color out of it. I will probably do it again! I know it's bad for you, but I never really get any sun up here, so technically, it's healthy. We were going to get pedicures, but it didn't work out. So we just walked around and shopped. I got some new work shoes too.

It's 11pm now. I get to wake up in 4 hours. Night!

Day 72

Today was supposed to be busy in both locations but it didn't seem like it. There were a few mishaps though.
-A lady bought 3 cinnamon rolls. 2 were for her kids which she said would be down soon(at 6am). Her kids didn't come down until at least 830. We were out of cinnamon rolls at that point so I had to go down to River Run and get more right before closing!
-At Lynx, when the receipt paper gets too low, it stops printing all together. In the kitchen where they receive orders, their paper went out and they didn't know it. When they finally realized it, all the orders came through at once. For some reason though, there was one order that didn't make it. It was a couple with 2 small children. I felt bad because they had to wait so long.

I got to Lynx, and my boss Jamie says she needs to talk to me. She pulls me in the back office and tells me to grab a bank for register because she will go insane if Sarah, Tony and Rhett have banks and I don't. Those three are all really slow at taking orders and counting their banks. Their banks are wrong a lot too. It made me happy to know, that I could save the day like that because I am not a dumb person.

Tony keeps talking about quitting. If he is going to seriously do it, he needs to just do it. I am sick of him complaining about it. The other day at dinner, Megan and I were talking about what we wanted from home and Tony got up and left. He had such a mad look on his face.

Today I didn't get off work until later than expected. I was really tired but needed to go to church. So I set my alarm for a 30 minute power nap so I would have just enough time to get ready for church. I was so tired that I didn't hear my alarm go off! I even tested it to make sure it was working when I finally did wake up and it worked. I slept for 6 hours! So, basically, a whole nights sleep for me. It is 1020 now. I get to go to bed soon.

Tomorrow is my 'half day'. It is so sad to say that when I work a half day, I get off at 930am. It just seems really odd to me.

When I go to Fairbanks on Tuesday, I need to go shopping. I need new work shoes, moisturizer, face scrub and a few other necessities. (WOW, I just spelled necessities right without using spell check! I usually get that one wrong!) I will also get a pedicure because my feet are in terrible shape. My heels look terrible. I may also go tanning for the first time. I need a little color in my skin. I don't know what else I will do.

So Lisa decided not to come to Alaska. It makes me sad because I was looking forward to seeing someone I know, especially her. I miss her. I guess I get to tell my boss now. Oh boy...

Here I go, back to sleep! It's terrible. I know when I get off work tomorrow, I will sleep more too probably...

Day 71

Work was slow today because it was a DEX day. I went home on time.

I was going to go on a glacier landing with Trisha and Robert but we got bumped last minute. Oh well. We decided to go to lunch/dinner. When we came back, we watched WGI videos for an hour or so. People kept coming in and watching it.

After that, I went to sit with Megan at dinner.

That's all. Fairbanks soon. Lisa should be applying to work up here. I hope she does it. It would be nice to have her up here!

Day 70

Work work work! I love and hate it. I work so early! If I worked 9p-6a it would be alright, but having to wake at 3 hurts! So Rapids was slow and Lynx got really busy right before I was supposed to leave. More overtime for me :)

Emily asked me to try to find someone to work with me until the end of the season since all the college students and internationals leave in August. I have a few names to give. I hope someone I know can come up and work with me!

I got a letter today. Well, it was a baby announcement. I can't believe Kylie will be having her baby soon! Its weird!

I am also looking more into moving to Utah! I am getting excited for a change! Lisa may go with me.

Going to Fairbanks on Tuesday! Maybe I'll go see Harry Potter again!

Day 69

I worked this morning. The new girl Teodora didn't show up again so she is getting fired. I also found out that Tony should be getting fired too! That just means another person to hire and train. Oh well...

I found out that Becky, the downs cheerleader in Glee stayed at the lodge last night and today. Rudy, my supervisor said to act chill if she came in. I joked saying, 'what, no autographs?' and he said, 'no, you can get fired for that'. A little harsh, but whatevs. I never ended up seeing her but its still cool that she was there.

I came home and took an unintentional nap. I woke up for dinner. When I went downstairs, I had a letter. It was from Dani. It was just what I needed. A little pick-me-up. Ethan even drew me a picture. It is up on my wall now and I keep looking at it, it makes me happy. So far, I have gotten a graduation announcement from Grace and the Twins, a letter from Mom and one from Dani.

Over half way done. Only 63 days left. 2 months. Soon I will be home.

I also decided that I will be going to Utah after this. I will probably fly into Seattle to see the nephews and then have mom drive up and get me or have Dani take me down. Something... Then stay in Vancouver for a little bit, go say bye to Salem and then go to Utah. I need to start looking for places to live, finding a roommate or something, find a job and all that jazz. I don't know if I will take any classes anywhere. If I do, maybe a dance class or something small. I just need a break from school. That's why I came to Alaska in the first place right?!

Sleep :)

Day 68

I had today off. I slept for a long time yesterday so I woke up at 7. I had breakfast and then left to the canyon to see if I could get on a tour. I did! I went on a flight tour of McKinley Summit! It was awesome! I got to wear an oxygen mask and headphones. I took lots of pictures and posted them on Facebook. My pilot was really cute too! It was about 3 hours long. When I got back, I was going to have dinner then go on a glacier landing, but I wasn't feeling too good and I had to call home about some stuff. I have come to realize a few things about myself and I'm not too happy about that.

After I talked to my mommy, I played bingo with Trisha and didn't win (like usual).

Hopefully tomorrow goes better.

Day 67

I think I may have met one of them and then just seen another. But no confirmation of either. So I guess I can't say I met the CEO's of the company. Oh well.

Today was so lazy! I got home from work and took a nap. I woke up for dinner, watched 127 hours, hung out with Trisha a bit then went to bed with a headache. I am now awake at 3am in time to get ready for work, but it is my day off :/ Oh well.

Day 66

Today was a good day! It was pretty slow at both locations so I got to go home on time.

I watched Ella Enchanted and then had dinner and then hung out with Trisha.

Tomorrow, well tonight, the CEO's of Princess came in. They are staying in the building that Rapids caters to in the morning for breakfast! That means, I get to meet and serve the big guys! I hope I do a good job and I also hope that Tony will keep it toned down and not freak them out!

After working Rapids tomorrow, I don't have to work Lynx and I have until Thursday off :) I am thinking a hike, going into the park and sleeping in! Yay!

I may work in Fairbanks or Park City this winter. I haven't decided yet, but they both sound good.

My computer is getting hot. I hope the fan didn't break. That would suck because I can't get it fixed until I get home!

Off to bed early tonight so I can be rested for the big guys tomorrow!

Day 65

I had work at both locations today. It was slow as usual at Rapids but super busy at Lynx. I ended up getting an extra hour and a half there. I came home and took a nap. I had my alarm set, but somehow slept through it and slept until 7. So I missed church and so I just went downstairs and had dinner then went up to the Rec center and watched Fiddler on the Roof with Trisha and Tex followed.

CEO's of the company come tomorrow night.  I will serve them on Tuesday morning. Nervous!

Day 64

Rapids was busy today and Lynx was super slow. It was a DEX day, so most people on property took the train out by 8am.

After work, Mallory came into the canyon and we went to lunch. We went to prospectors. After that we did a little bit of shopping then I took the shuttle home and took a nap.  I am going to bed now even though I just woke up from said nap. I am tired.

Day 63

Today was another day off. HP was yesterday and I want to go see it again now! I slept in until 2 today :) I then went into the Canyon and sent out a box to one of my most missed people: Hannah!

I have been thinking about what I will do after the season is over. Will I stay in Alaska, go to work in Germany, work on a cruise ship, stay in Salem, move to Vancouver and go to school in Portland, move to Everett, move to Utah? I have no clue yet. I know I want to do it all. I guess I still have 2 months to completely decide.

Day 62 Contains a HP spoiler or 2.

I had today off! I slept for 14 hours! I didn't get up until noon! I cleaned my room a little bit since we have inspection on Saturday and then went to the Harry Potter midnight premier in Fairbanks.

The premier wasn't that cool. I am used to people being in line a day in advance with costumes and chairs and games. Where people get to know everyone in line and people laugh and just have fun. I'm used to waiting in line outside until at least 1030 before they let people in. It was way different in Fairbanks. I got to the theater at 1030 and there wasn't anyone outside. I go into the lobby and people are already in the theaters waiting. I guess they empty all the theaters really early so people can just go in and sit down and wait it out in there. There weren't also many people dressed up! There was a group of 8 guys that all dressed up and had written 'Hermionies Herem' on their shirts. They were all really cute!

The movie was good. Not the best of the HP series, but still good. It seemed to be really blunt when explaining things and it felt like they were just trying to end the movie. There wasn't the long intense pauses or holds in anything. Battles didn't last long and weren't very exciting, when Snape, Fred, Remus and Voldemort died, they only were paused on for a few seconds and that was it. I was expecting it to be a bigger deal when they died, but it wasn't.

I made a realization about the HP series. Well, the Weasley's at least. Ron reminds me of Adam; the sweet innocent kid that gets angry and upset over little things and Fred/George reminds me of Preston; the tall skinny twin makes mischief and is older. Whenever Ron is scared, upset or angry, the look on his face reminds me of Adam and it makes me upset. When Fred dies in this last movie, Ron is holding him crying. It doesn't show how he dies and it doesn't linger on it for more than a few seconds, but I started crying. Silly movie! It is funny how we can compare things like that.

I want to buy all the movies now and have it in a set. I only have GoF, but I need to get the others. I am such a movie whore... I bought 'Troop Beverly Hills' at Walmart yesterday. I love those older movies that remind me of my childhood! haha. When I saw it, I squealed!

I have tomorrow off too! I plan on sleeping in. I didn't get back to Homestead until 430am.

Day 61

Today was an amazing day! I was well rested and in a great mood! Rapids was slow and so was Lynx. I love the days that I get to leave Lynx on time! I came home and watched the first part of the last Harry Potter movie since I am going to the Midnight Premier of the final film tomorrow night! After that, Megan and I went to 49th for dinner (since Homestead food is less than stellar) and I got a teriyaki chicken with avacado and pepperjack cheese. It was super yummy! Then I came home, farted around the room for a bit and talked with Megan then took a shower. I was super tired, so I went to bed at 10 :) Thats all!

Day 60

If you dont care to hear about a total jerk named Tex, skip down to the red line and read the stuff after it.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I realize I shouldn't be upset about this because it's not like there was any indication it was going to go anywhere, but even trying to be friends or something you don't act like such a stupid prick! You don't ignore people and then stop them and make them talk to you. You don't avoid someone and then ask them to get a milkshake. You don't tell someone to be opinionated and then not let them talk. He needs to learn some flipping manners!

The story. I decided a few days ago I wouldn't do anymore leading. I would just let the cards fall where they may. Yesterday he was being a total jerk so I decided to completely avoid the whole situation. I am better than having someone treat me like that! So of course after that decision was made, I ran into him yesterday. Today it was worse. He ignored me and avoided me. Then he wants to get a milkshake. After he did all the talking about him he wanted to watch another war movie. I told him I wanted to watch Harry Potter. He seemed mad but went to watch it anyways. Then at dinner he sits by me, but then doesn't say anything and then says hes going to bed. I don't think so. That would be 12 hours of sleep for you dummy and he says he doesn't sleep that much. Today I didn't make any effort whatsoever.  I didn't laugh at his stupid jokes and comments because hes really not funny. Hes just kind of rude.

Then during dinner I was telling him about the HP movies and how there are 7 books and 8 movies. Somewhere he got confused and was telling me there were 9 movies. I explained that one movie was split and he got angry and up in my face about it. When he finally understood that he had misunderstood, he blamed the confusion on me.

I am over it. I liked hanging out with him in the beginning, but something came out in him I hate. He is a fake and a know it all who likes to hear himself shout out facts at people. I am done. No more talk of the prick!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Work was good today. Rapids was good. It was busy most of the time and nobody came up to the counter after we turned the lights off at 9 when we close. Lynx wasn't as busy as expected and so I was able to leave on time today again! We listened to the Pocahontas soundtrack in the kitchen. I laughed a lot at Lynx today and it was fun. I got kind of bored part way through shift, but I ended up scrubbing walls and doors and other odd things with a sponge.

Tomorrow I work and then I don't work again until Saturday! I am going to go see Harry Potter in Fairbanks on Thursday night and get back early Friday. I suspect I will finally go into the park! I am super excited about this movie! It is the final one! I wish I was back home seeing it with the Kelloggs or Spraggs because that is always fun! I talked to Casey, Wa and Daddy today. I also text Hannah and she is sending me  a package :) I am excited. I keep finding cool things I want to send home to people! Speaking of packages, my family got mine and the rock I found wasn't a geode : / That was a little bit of a disappointment. Oh well.

I hope I get to go home early or on time from work tomorrow. It is nice coming home when expected. It is 8 now and after a retarded situation of a day, I am tired. I should get a good amount of sleep tonight! YAY!

Day 59

Another slow day at Rapids and Lynx. I was actually out on time at both jobs for a change!

So I saw Tex 3-4 times at work today and not once did he even say hi or acknowledged my existence so I decided that I wasn't going to make any effort whatsoever anymore. But of course, at Homestead after I finish watching Harry Potter in the rec room, I come downstairs for dinner and he is standing at the bottom of the stairs and asks me to go do yoga with him. I wanted to do yoga anyways but of course the one time I try avoiding the bugger, he is there...

Hopefully I fall asleep faster tonight that I have the last few nights. I just want to go to sleep!

Day 58

Couldn't fall asleep last night until almost 1! It was terrible! I just couldn't sleep. I wasn't too tired at work either which was a plus. I found out that Adam ha quit(which is good and bad). Good part: no more dealing with him. Bad part(s): we have to get a replacement, I may have to come straight from the Harry Potter Midnight Premier to come to work and not actually get the day off :/ Then, Tony being the dummy he is, was over on his till by 60.04! I don't understand how he could do that! It is ridiculous!

I was in a zombie mood today. I wasn't happy or sad or upset. Just there... It was weird. 

Tex sat by me at dinner, but ended up talking to the other people at the table because they were all from the south and were talking about southern things. His Texas accent started coming out a lot! haha

I watched HP and the SS. I was going to watch HP and the CoS, but I need to go to bed.

Day 57

Another day off. Slept in until noon! I wasn't feeling well today, so it was a lazy day. I went into the canyon and got my tips and did an hour of training. I got over 200 in tips :) Feels good!

I feel like I am getting into another funk. I don't know where it is coming from, but it's draining me. I wouldn't call it depression, but maybe the beginning stages of it. I am not as happy as I normally am. I feel like I am just existing here. I lack energy even on my days off, and happiness comes in little bursts that don't last too long. I don't know where it is coming from and I don't like it. I don't like that I lack energy and life. It's kind of upsetting to me. I'm rambling now... I don't feel like crying or sleeping, just sitting there. Hopefully it goes away soon.

I work tomorrow. I have Thursday and Friday off so I can go to Fairbanks and go see Harry Potter! I am pretty excited about that. The only downer, is that the people that I am riding with (in the employee shuttle) are people I can't stand and don't really like. I can't forget to charge my ipod before I go.

I talked to my boss Emily today and she told me that mid August, all the internationals and college students leave the Lodge so they can go home and go to school. That means, lots of overtime hours for me. Which means more pay, more tips and more money on my bonus check at the end of the season.

I was also talking to some other employees today, and they said that there is a place in Germany that hires out for a year. It is what I would be doing here, but in Germany. I am thinking about it, but at the same time, if this funk doesn't go away, I don't know what I am going to do...

Sleep........

Day 56

Day off! I slept in until noon. It was awesome. I love not having to set my alarm clock! I wish I had a job that allowed me to sleep in so I didn't need an alarm clock.

I went down to lunch today. It was fish and fries. It was not good. I really didn't eat much of it. For dinner it was more fish... I didn't really eat dinner today too. I just ate my asparagus and rice.

I hung out with Tex again today. I wasn't even expecting it either. We thought we had finished all of the disks yesterday, but Tex found the last 2. I went over to his place and watched the last 2 disks. That show is so addicting! He had worked today and so he asked me for a shoulder massage. I gave him one and he said I had to go live with him in Vietnam when the season is over. It made me laugh. Maybe I should go to massage school when I get home. I have strong hands that don't get sore for a long time. It pays well and I like knowing I made someone feel good. He kept complimenting me on my massage today. Since Weeds is over, and the weather should be nice for a bit, maybe I can convince him to go on a hike.

I don't work tomorrow either. I will sleep in again, clean my room, do laundry and sleep in.

Day 55

Today was a pretty good day! Rapids was really slow and Lynx was consistently busy. I got an hour of overtime too!

Found out that the water at Homestead isn't drinkable right now. There is e coli in it. We get poop water! For that reason, they had bottled water and sodas out for everyone. It still sucks. I like having cranberry juice with my dinner, and now I can't!

So I really don't know what to think about the whole Tex thing. Today has changed my outlook on it all. Not that I am looking for a relationship or anything, but I wish I knew what he was thinking. This is what happened. I text Tex today to see if he wanted to finish Weeds because we only had a few episodes left. He finally called me back suggesting we get a milkshake and then watch it. We talked about a lot of things. He is super smart and remembers everything about everything. He does have 5 years on me, but still... He was saying how he wouldn't date a girl that didn't know stuff about politics or religion or any other intelligent topic or if he couldn't have an intelligent conversation in general. That made me feel stupid because I really don't know much of anything in those subjects. Ask me medical stuff and that is a completely different story. Funny thing about that though, he can't spell super well and when he reads stuff, he doesn't pronounce things correctly. Today he was reading and said 'colon-ole' instead of 'kernel' when reading the word Colonel. He also always talks about how hot other girls are in front of me and to me. It may not seem like a big deal to him, but it is to me. I may not be interested in him like that, but it is still rude...

So then we went back to his place and watched Weeds. We always just sit there but today we layed on our stomachs to watch it at the end of the bed. There was space so that we weren't touching, but sometimes (I don't know if intentionally or not) he would get closer. Not in a sexual way or anything, but in a 'I want to be a little closer than you' way. Since Weeds is over now, I don't know if we will continue to hang out. He seems to like to stay in doors and I don't. I want to go on a hike or a swim and he wants to watch a movie. I love movies, but I like going outside too.

I wouldn't say I like him, but I would say I do like spending time with him. Some of the things he believes or says or does I don't completely agree with but his past has definitely shaped him.

I have tomorrow and Saturday off. I want to go outside on a hike, but everyone is at work and its not very sunny outside. I guess I work everyday at Lynx next week... I'm not sure how I feel about that. Yes I will be making more money, but then I don't really get a day off. I hope I at least have some time off Rapids.

Day 53 and 54

I apologize to those of you that read this religiously for my lack of blogging last night. But I had good reason for not writing mine last night!

Day 53: I worked early this morning. I was super tired. For some strange reason I always go to bed way too late! It was a long and busy morning at Rapids. At least it was Tony's day off so he wasn't there to make it anymore unbearable. Lynx got super busy too. I was supposed to leave at 1, but it was so busy. It was 2 and it was still busy when a girl got her way and got to go on her 30 minute break. The worst part about it, is that she didn't want to eat, she just wanted to smoke. So, me, the girl who had been working since 4am, had to stay on clock so that the girl could go smoke. More overtime for me, but that just pissed me off! I was so mad.

I came home and had been planning on going to lunch with Mallory, but she texted me and said we were going to dinner with Megan and Kacie too. I was fine with that. I love these girls. So while waiting for dinner, Megan, Trisha, Amber and I walked to Otto. Only Megan and I swam. Trisha and Amber left Homestead and the lake before us, and we still beat them back. I don't really like being around Amber. She judges everything that everyone does. She always comments on everything too. I just want to comment on stuff she does. Like we had the 4th of July BBQ and she had 3 full plates of food. This girl doesn't need it. Then she is always asking for peoples food. I told her once in a joking way that she should buy her own and she rolled her eyes at me. Amber took so long to get to the lake. I felt like I had to keep stopping for her.

I was about to put my makeup on for dinner when I got a phone call. It was Tex. He invited me to go out to dinner. His reasoning: he didn't want pork chops for dinner and didn't want to go out by himself. I don't know how to take it. Friends say that means he likes my company because he could have invited a guy friend. But who knows... We went to Prospectors Pizza (yes I had pizza for dinner after working a long shift with pizza). We laughed and poked fun a lot. He told me cool facts about a lot of stuff. He told me all about Captain America and how Joseph Smith owned a bar. haha. It made me feel a lot better about hanging out with him when we went to dinner. I felt like we weren't hanging out just because we watch the same show. Of course, if he didn't want to hang with me, he wouldn't invite me to watch it with him. I didn't end up getting back and asleep until 11. I was so tired!

So that is why I didn't post a blog last night. I was out with Tex having dinner and laughing and I needed sleep before a early work shift. So Dani and Casey, you can chill out a bit! LOL!


Day 54: I was so unbelievably tired at work this morning. I fell asleep on the bus to and from work. Rapids was slow and so was Lynx. I probably didn't even need to come in today, it was that slow.

I came home and took a 4 hour nap! It was awesome! I woke up to my roommate asking me to go to dinner at 49th. I got the mac and cheese again and an extra side of sauteed onions. After that we went into the canyon and got ice cream. I'm not too tired right now, but I am a bit. I will go to bed soon. After work tomorrow, I don't work again until Sunday morning! Shower time!

Day 52

So apparently Casey reads this blog everyday and when I wait a day to post she gets anxious. So I almost didn't post tonight just for that reason. Obviously I decided to do it.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!

I found out today that Tony is going to quit Rapids since he is 1 write up away from termination. I am fine with that, but it also sucks because that means yet another person to train.

Lynx was super dead today. I was so bored. As soon as I left, it got super busy though. haha!

I got home and was going to go watch Weeds with Tex, but was invited to go sit out on Otto Lake in a boat since it was finally sunny. I invited Tex but he wanted to nap. I was soon after told that the Lake thing was off because people wanted to watch a movie! Oh well.

We had a big 4th celebration at Homestead. There was a big BBQ dinner and lots of games. I ended up playing croquet and drawing with chalk. I drew for 3 hours! It was really cool looking I think. I was planning on pulling an all nighter tonight since as of right now, I would be off work in 14 hours. But, I decided I had better get some sleep before work. Especially if Tony is going to have another breakdown like he did today at Rapids.

So sleepy! I get to wake up in 5 hours! Yay for work! I only work 3 more days this week then I have a few days off! I can handle that!

I can't wait for the package to get home. There is a bunch of stuff in there. I hope everyone gets their stuff correctly and in a timely manner. *Cough cough* For reals....sleep is calling!

One more thing... I have decided that I miss a certain person that I went out with once. It was only a short date, but I haven't not felt nervous around a guy until him. I talk to him every once and a while but I am hoping we keep in touch even when I get home.. Well, especially when I get home.

Day 50 and 51

Day 50: Nothing exciting at all. I had the whole day off and there was nothing to do. I did sleep in quite a bit and send my package off, but nothing other than those. Completely lame. I wish when I had a day off that my friends did too.

Day 51: I had today off too. I got to sleep in again and it was awesome. It was really rainy again and no friends were home so I didn't really do anything. I got lunch and I forgot it was 'Pizza Sunday'. It was so gross. Dinner was much better. It was ribs, twice baked potatoes, yams and much more. It wasn't half bad. One of the better meals here. I haven't hung out with Tex since Friday because he went to Fairbanks.  I hope we hang out again soon. I did some laundry and when I came back later, someone had shut the dryer off. My clothes were still wet and I had to stay up an extra hour for them to dry.

I have work tomorrow :)

Day 49

Early Morning. Late Evening. They needed someone to cover another later shift so I covered even though I had woken up at 330 this morning. It wasn't too hard of a day.

Rapids was boring. All 4 of us were scheduled so Adam got to go home. After that Lynx was lame. Berit Snyder, the GM came into Lynx and I talked to her an served her. Then, after my shift, I grabbed my backpack, grabbed a salad and started leaving and she called me over to her table. She scolded me for wearing my backpack behind the counter because it is 'cross contamination'. Oh well. She also scolded me for leaving at 1. I was scheduled until 1, but it wasn't busy so I got to leave on time.At 115, it gets really busy. She told me I shouldn't have left with such a line. I tried explaining the situation but she didn't listen.

I guess my Supervisor Jamie got called into her office about my clocking out issue. Jamie stood up for me and told her that I had been working since 4 and that she had the right to let me go for the day. I am glad someone stood up against that woman. She gets and does whatever she wants. But, that's a perk for being a GM.

I hung out with Trisha after work and she is fun. I am glad were getting closer. She is from Utah and is LDS. I think we are going to be great friends.

Since I was supposed to be working late tonight, I told Tex I was sorry but I had to cancel for the night. He was sad. Obviously sad. Maybe it's a sign that he likes being around me?! That would be nice if it were true. I will just have to see where this goes.

I have tomorrow and Sunday off. A first for me. Not only do I have 2 FULL days off, but I have them back to back. It will be so nice. I will do laundry, send my package home and hang out with Tex. If the rain clears up tomorrow, I will push for a hike.

I have been up for over 20 hours now. I am going to bed.
