Today marked the official rotation switch for the trifecta of funterns, which basically means we switched to our new job. I am now in kitchen and maintainance (cuz they are totally connected) and so this morning I sat down in a meeting with 6 of the 8 maintainance guys to learn what I was to do for the day. First off: glorified errand-running, also known as the "Town Runner." I since we basically are only open one more day this week, there was little for me to get. I was back at camp by 11ish, and on to maintain camp! Basically I took dirty air filters off the ceiling, cleaned the filter covers, cut new filter material, and then put it all back together. Most of the day on a ladder, with a power drill, in Carrharts. And a favorite JCrew sweater to top it all off, and the looooove mix on the iPod. Holla. My dad would be so proud.
Thanksgiving is coming like a summer storm with the deluge only moments away. I was going to go up to stay with my sister, et al for the holiday, but there wasn't really a place to sleep and just a bit too much stress putting it all together on my end that I have decided to simply stay here with the family up the hill. Judging by the families that will be there and the # of kids (it's close to the double digits) it won't be quiet, but it will be relaxing, restful. After dinner Thursday I've been told I am required to hang with the little boys and watch "Cars" at least once. Friday we're going on a trail ride with the horses. That's my kind of holiday.
On a whim, a few of us went to see "Happy Feet" on Sunday. Thank God I didn't pay for my ticket, because that movie sucked. Like crash and burn, almost "Gili" with cartoon penguins sucked. Also, slightly offensive with a very general ethnic portrayal of Hispanics.
