A great quote and some other things...
So there I was, sitting in the lunch room earlier this week bull shitting with the guys as usual and then Ken (who retired two days later) said something that just cracked me up. I don't know if it was just the fact it was last break (which happens at 1:30am and means there are only two more hours to go), or if I was just in a silly mood, but I couldn't stop laughing. So now that I have hyped it so much, here is Ken's quote "I feel sorry for people that don't drink because when they wake up in the morning that is the best they are going to feel all day!"
Beyond Ken's quote, things down here in "squirrel town" are going alright. Work is work, although the nice fat paycheck I got this week really softened the blow. At this point I am having a little bit of a hard time finding my place around here. I am part of the crew, because I know all the stories (hell I was there for most of the really good ones), but at the same time I am still that summer help girl that a few of the guys still feel like they have to watch what they say around me. However, they don't watch what they say in a homophobic sense, or ableist sense, but they just try to not say things that would "send them out front", which means getting them sent to Human Resources. Pretty much the only two people I connect with are JD and John. Oh well.
Alright, well that is pretty much what is going on with me. I don't know for sure when I will be able to make it back up to Seattle again, but I promise it will be soon, and I wouldn't mind some visitors down here if any of you have a way to make the trip!
