Guess who's back ... back again. Yep, it's me. Well, me and the wife ... er the wife and I, whatever. The point is, we have safetly returned from our vacation in South Dakota. I've got several random stories about what we've seen, who we talked to, what we've done/haven't done, etc. I guess I should probably talk about all that here... it may take ( Read more... )

AHHHH.. its a xanterra receipt!!!

I worked for them for a summer.
When i was on summer project with campus crusade, we were in yellowstone, which is also a xanterra operated location, and we all had jobs with them cleaning the hotels in the old faithful area

Re: Xanterra tjackson July 8 2006, 19:12:47 UTC

were the prices atrocious there too?

i'm gonna try and get a better scan of the receipt later.

Re: Xanterra k4olin July 10 2006, 17:49:56 UTC

yeah.. they pretty much are... though as an employee you get a bit of a discount so you dont go broke just trying to live there. Employees also have a cafeteria they can eat at for free which is nice. Well i suppose it isnt really free, they take a stock amount out of your paycheck..but you get the idea.

Re: Xanterra tjackson July 10 2006, 20:54:54 UTC

well, then i guess the situation isn't a complete loss.

btw: I'm gonna send your invite here in a few minutes (i'm going through my backlogged lj comment-emails)

Hey that was quite a long read, but I am really glad hearing about your trip to South Dakota. That Hitler lady reminds me of the lady who managed a "resort" in Okaboji. At 11:00 at night she kept coming outside and telling our family to be quiet. Psha.

It sounds like your cousin is diggin' the Scrubs. It is indeed right and salutary at all times and in all places to spread the gospel of Scrubs. I have started to memorize pointless lines in season 3... It's time to move on when I can say "But sir, I was going to visit the Alamo with the guys from my public sp----speaking class." and other stupid lines like that. But, I have money to burn and I can't keep it saved up enough to buy a guitar so I'll most likely buy all three seasons by the end of the summer. I need something to keep my sanity. But who are we talking about here, you or me?

I'm looking forward to the (maybe) upcomming photos. Let me know if you put them on facebook. Drop me a line sometime if you get bored.

Later dude...

I just noticed the user pic... muhay hay it rocks. Its good you got back safely and I guess I take it for granted now that I am away from blair but soon I will be wanting out any chance I get.

tjackson July 10 2006, 20:52:19 UTC

thanks :) I should get it made into a tshirt, or maybe a poster.

Don't miss blair too much, the boredom sets back in quite quickly.
