Lizette's wedding was fun. I'm glad i got to be there and meet her husband. I'm glad brian got to come to.

On my trip to hollywood i met lots of interesting people. We even saw all the models lined up outside to try out for the tv show deal or no deal.

My life lately

To be honest my life lately has been pretty boring. I was thinking about it last night and I feel pretty spoiled. I was laying in a hammock watching the sunset against the palm tree in my backyard on the island where I live. I see the sunrise over the ocean most mornings and get paid to work with sea turtles. I don't have to pay rent as long as I do yard work and I never have to worry about wearing a jacket. Why am I feeling stressed and unsatisfied with my life? I'm not quite sure about that one, but I am sure about how I feel. I'm bored. I'm bored at work, I'm bored at church and I'm bored with going to the beach. I know sounds bad, but I'm there 40 hrs/wk for work and it's not like normal beaches. There are soo many bugs and gross things in the water I don't even like to go in anymore. And I can only handle so much sun before I feel like I'm cooking myself. Oh, and an explanation for being bored at work? Well, I do "work with sea turtles" but lets be honest-I've seen about 5 turtles since I got here and I work 40-50 hrs/wk. Most of my time is spend washing and gasing vehicles or trying to make myself appear busy so our completely insane project manager will think I'm a good worker and let me patrol more. Oh and by the way, NEVER take a job that has patrol in the job description. All that means is that you will be driving around by yourself waiting for something to happen (which I guess is better than wandering around headquarters trying to create work for yourself). BORING! I do like my job when something is happening (turtles nesting or hatching) but I wish we could just be on call or something. I can't handle much more of this. But that is the beauty of the seasonal worker. I don't have to. So now I am faced with what to do when the job is over. I think I'll just apply for as many jobs as I can and take the one that pays the most...and wont be boring.
