So I was really bored at work one day so I looked through a supply catalog. I was horrified by something I found:


What store is going to tell their customers, "hey you have to put this face mask on before you can try on that sweater!" or better yet, you better wear this "paper panty for thong." Even scarier, who's going to willingly agree to wear those things??? And also, who's trying on thongs?!?!

So for as much as I complain about going to this job there's one thing I can't complain about and it's the spectacular view (even better on a non-cloudy day). Here's some I took with my phone:

This is where I park...next to a giant fish with a bunch of geese ahead of me (and the power plant of course).
This is standing inside work along the wall of windows not zoomed in at all. Just before I took this literally hundreds of geese landed. I took a few pictures through the spotting scope of them. Who knew that would work. And thus concludes my shady photographic journey of one of my places of employment.

So I realize it's been awhile since I've posted. Some exciting news: We have a shower!! I guess I didn't really tell anyone but we've been without a shower for over a week and a half. Not cool man. Mike worked his butt off this weekend staying up to three in the morning both nights (after work that is) to get it in there. This was all after they tried putting in the one that we bought and found out that they wouldn't be able to use it. So we made a trip to duluth on Wednesday and exchanged it for one with a drain on the opposite side. It worked. Shwoo! Also big news...we picked out a shower curtain! Ha! I realize it doesn't sound like much but we really don't have the same taste so agreeing on things can take awhile :) Tonight they are putting in drywall on the ceiling and walls of the bathroom. Things are starting to come together in there. And I realize this may only be exciting to mike (I'll spare you what mike calls bathroom fans) and I, but did you have any idea they make such nice bathroom fans? This looks kinda like the one we got, only it's brushed nickel I guess.



Oh and on another note, I'm missing my friends a lot these days. I want to see all of you! :(

I'm taking the day off! On account of I haven't had a day off in quite some time, and we just had a record applefest weekend, I'm not going to the office today. Oh, did I mention the real reason is that I have a nasty cold? So today I plan to spend the majority of the day in bed watching TLC and the Food Network. What a day it will be.
