Well Good Morning!

Well good morning to all my loyal bloggers! It’s Thursday, which means I only have six days of work left in my first official internship with the Department of Transportation. Actually my Aunt and I were talking yesterday, and she couldn’t believe how fast this summer has gone by. She said it seemed like it was just two weeks ago that I was starting on here at MDT! Well this week has been busy upon busy, but really, what else is new! I have been coming to work every day, and then after work I go and do yard work for Liz at the new house in town that she bought. Russell is helping me with everything, so it’s nice having someone else there, and also the help is really nice too. On Monday, we went to bring up some of the patio furniture from her house in Montana City, and then she explained really what she wanted us to do. So then on Tuesday, we got everything ready to go work up there, and we got rained out. I was mad because it just put us a day behind of where I really wanted to be. So yesterday we did cut a lot of dead branches off trees, and then we cut down a fairly good size tree, but my chainsaw started to act up after a while, so we quit for the day and will go and finish up with all the tree stuff today. So this weekend is really my last weekend, and I plan on going fishing at least one of the days. It’s going to be weird when I go back to Butte, because it’s a whole different lifestyle down there than here in Helena. Actually it’s pretty much like a whole different life. I say this because I won’t see my parents until our game in South Dakota, and I have been working and mowing every day this summer. Then when I get to Butte, I will start with the ASMT Vice President job and football pretty much 24/7 for the next, oh, four months, and then in about a month I will be adding school to the schedule. But I’m excited for school and football to start. I say this now but I’m sure I’ll be regretting those words soon. Well everyone, next week I will be recapping the summer so stay tuned!!!!

Intern Wrap Up!

Well good morning everyone, and HAPPY MONDAY to all my loyal blog readers! So I have been very busy at work doing editing upon editing. My eyes have been red and sore all week from doing so much editing; I had to complete all of my intern spotlight videos before yesterday because we had our intern wrap up day. The day went pretty good. In the morning we had a little class taught by Kila, and she’s a bad ‘A’ if you catch my drift. Her class was on generation caps in the work place. The four different generations are Veterans, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Millenniums, which I’m a Millennium. It was a pretty cool training with a lot of pictures and open discussion of what we thought about the other generations, and then they told us what they thought about us. For example, she taught them that our generation can multitask (we can text and still be productive or listen), and that if we are texting it’s not to be disrespectful, it’s just that we need to be in constant contact with our friends and family. Then we had a BBQ out in the courtyard, and the Director flipped burgers for us, which was pretty cool. After lunch was a session where we went around and told everyone about our internships. There were a lot of great ones, but sadly a couple where people just kind of hated being an intern here. When it was my time, I showed on the big projector screen everyone’s intern spotlight videos. They all seemed to really like them, which really made me feel good that I did a good job, which brings me back to the generations thing. Kila told us that my generation needs to pretty much have an “At a boy” or instant positive feedback. So this weekend I will be moving stuff around at the units. I will be moving my stuff which is a little here and a little there into one 10x10 unit. So I will be getting up early Saturday morning to move this stuff before the sun hits and then probably hit the lake or the rope swing. Well everyone, have a great weekend and HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twin Lakes Here We Come!!!!!

Well another happy Monday is probably appropriate for today! Well right now its pouring rain outside which sucks big time for me because I have mowing to get done and the rain doesn’t help me at all. I had a great time camping out at JoBonner this past weekend with Autumn, Vance and Ms. Abigail. We went out on Friday afternoon and then made our way to the rope swing and the water was freezing cold. I was the only one out of us four to swing off the rope; the others are just big wimps I guess! My dad came out Saturday morning and brought the boat and we went Carpeye fishing (if you have read my past blogs then you know what I’m talking about). My dad caught one little one and then Vance caught a Perch we can officially say the only Perch ever caught in our boat. Then that afternoon I tried Trout fishing and didn’t catch any either but we were only out for about forty five minutes and the lake was crazy with people tubing, jet skiing and sail boats, actually one sail boat couldn’t turn and came within about five feet of running into us. So this week and work I will be working four-ten hour days for our family camping trip up to Twin Lakes. I’m sure if you have been following my blog since last summer then you seen all the pictures I took and posted. Ms. Abigail and I will be taking off Thursday after I get off on Thursday and make our way up to the best lake in Montana. My parents are taking off on Wednesday and going to stop and stay one night on the Big Hole on there way up and then we should both get there on Thursday. Autumn and Vance will be coming up Friday after work and then they will stay until Tuesday or Wednesday next week but my parents and I will be leaving on Sunday. So I hope you all have a great week and another happy Monday to you all!

APPLESLEAZE

Well everyone, I haven’t chatted with you all in a while, so I would like to start out by warning people not to eat at APPLESLEAZE or as it’s more commonly known, Applebee’s. My sister, Vance and I went there last night for dinner, and everything was going great until I got my meal. It went downhill fast from there. First of all, I found a smaller grey hair (maybe from a beard) in my French fries, which is just disgusting to begin with. Then my sister said, “Well at least it wasn’t in your burger,” while I’m taking a bite of my burger and yup, you guessed it: a hair that was THREE INCHES LONG was in my burger. That’s when I thought enough is enough and went and found our waitress, and she said, “What, do you want a new burger?” First off I was like, no way, and then I took a new burger so I could eat it for lunch tomorrow. Then when our waitress brought over our ticket, they had tried to charge me for my dinner, so I went over and found her and told her that there was NO WAY I was going to pay for my burger. She tried to get off by telling me that they were making me a new burger, and I said, “Miss, I found two separate hairs in my dinner,” and she said, “Well let me go talk to my manager.” The manager never came over to talk to me or anything, so I will officially say that I will NEVER EVER EVER go to APPLESLEAZE ever again, and I would highly recommend that you not go there either. Well everyone, the summer is just flying by. I only have around a month left of summer, and all I have really done is work and work some more. It isn’t always a bad thing having some extra cash around. That’s one problem I would gladly always have. My plan is to save up money and pay for the difference of my football scholarship and then buy a nice piece of land which I can make a nice investment off of. Well everyone, tonight I will be going to the Hangover with my sis and Vance and maybe four-wheeling with Russ Pat after I get off work. So I leave you with some words of advice: don’t eat at APPLESLEAZE.
