Posting...for posting's sake

I have a very nice summer job. It doesn't pay a lot, but I don't do a lot, so I guess the trade-off is fairly even. In fact, I am at work right now typing this very blog post on my laptop. No, my place of employment doesn't have wi-fi, but the person who lives in the giant lake house next door does, so I get to "borrow" it from them. of course the signal goes in and out if I close the door to my box (booth), large trucks w/boats pull through, or it gets super windy or rainy. The house is a good distance away. I'm surprise their signal reaches this far at all!

Anyway, I work at the boat launch of a state park. I worked at this park all through college and after, every summer except for last. Why would I work such a low-paying job every summer when I could make more money doing something else? Well, basically I don't want to work during my summer. I want to enjoy it! The money is really not bad. It's well over minimum wage, so it pays a lot more than some other jobs do. And what do I do at work all day? Well, I sit here and play on my computer, I read books, I watch movies, I scrapbook, I talk on my phone, I paint my nails, I clean my car, etc, etc, etc. It's great because I have a lot of study time (for whatever I might like to study at the time), and a lot of time to do the things I would have wanted to do all summer anyway. Occasionally I do get customers...a few a day (I think yesterday I had 6...in 10 hours). It's nice to have them come through, as they break up the monotony of the day for me. ;o)

So needless to say I'm not complaining about my job! Sure I've had to work an insane amount of hours the past few days (12 on Sun, 10 yesterday and 10 today), but at least it's not hard work and generally goes by pretty quickly!


And now in closing, I will post this video of me and Joe singing "Summer Lovin'" from Grease a few months back at karaoke. We make me laugh, so I thought you might like to laugh as well! :-p And, it is summertime! :-D
