Tuesday, Week 1

All right, quick blog post here for you.  Keystone Kelly came up on Sunday, and we hung out for a while.  It was nice to see her again and catch up.  Also a bit strange, seeing as so many of the old Office Managers have either been on property, or are here currently.  A bit funny though.  We’ll hopefully get together again this summer, and we’ll definitely get together at the end of the season to discuss the job (and decompress a bit).

Speaking of the job, it’s been going well.  Some of the reports/numbers that I need are a pain in the butt, mostly because people will give me multiple numbers or question the numbers that I am given, but I can’t do anything besides believe the numbers I am given.  And of course the occasional micromanage/sudden and sever interest in my work which usually catches me off guard, but it all comes with the territory I suppose…that and the fact that everyone loves to use my stapler.  Which at this point I find quite amusing.

A bunch of us watched “Thank you for Smoking” the other night, which was wonderful (again).  Very witty as always.  A group went out to see “Knocked Up” tonight, and sadly I couldn’t go as I had to stay here to do some work, but hopefully next time I can go.

The photographer showed up, he is a friend of Kevin’s working on his Master’s Thesis, taking pictures of Scouts.  It’s cool to think that the Scouts here on the Reservation are going to potentially be part of an art show in New York and part of a Master’s Thesis.

And of course, since I’m at camp, I’ll talk some more about the various animals I’ve seen.  When my parents came up and we went to Lonestar, we saw a fox (which was ironic as there was a fox at the house they rented on vacation), I’ve seen a raccoon, the bear, a lot of hummingbirds, lots of deer (including the ones behind Ranger Jim’s house that he has named) and a bear was spotted in Chalk Hill crossing Route 40.  Fun time in the animal kingdom!  And I’ve expereicned this a few times, but forgetting to write about it, we’ll have clusters of small white bugs that fly around, and every now and then, I’ll be walking and they will travel with me, I feel like I’m in Eder Gira and Eder Kemo in URU, it’s an awesome feeling!

Garfield turned 29 today, so happy birthday!  I always liked Garfield (especially Odie), even though sometimes the humor has gotten repetitive and predictable.

The third and final WOMBAT exam is closed, I totally missed it.  But that’s ok, everything was all messed up with my access codes anyway, but I’m still a bit bummed that I missed it.

It’s finally raining a little bit here, which was much needed.  I rode out to Freedom and Liberty, and the dust was awful.  I got to drive back though, so I’ve now driven the Trading Post Van (formerly the CMV and then the Medic-mobile) and the RT van.  We’ve gotten some rumbles of thunder, but nothing like the storms we see forming on radar or the storms we get reports of from Pittsburgh.  Crazy weather as always on the mountain, but if it stays somewhat cool, a little less humid and without the crazy, end of the world weather, it would be a good thing.  And on a related note, I convinced the Reservation Trading Post Manager and Business Manager to stock Three Musketeers this year, which is I believe a first.  I’ll have to let my brother know, he’d be very proud of me!

That’s all for now, catch everyone later, have a great one!
