Green Thumb

Today was a good day. ;)  To recap my last few weeks... I worked in greenhouse for the past two weeks instead of exotics, and it was strangely theraputic and meditative. Instead of killing things, I got to make things GROW and THRIVE! I haven't been feeling great lately though so when volunteers came in asking what to do (and I had no idea, since I don't usually work there) it got very tiring. I repotted a whole army of lodgepole pine, went berry picking with Neil, and got to spend a few days planting trees and plants, raking, and doing fun/hard landscape stuff with reveg. Ahhh.

My crew leader's last day was last week, and in their infinite wisdom, they left only ONE HOUR to go over everything we had to do for the next 6 weeks. Not enough time! There is so much random stuff that it was really quite ridiculous. I'm pretty irked though that when I finally get to work reveg, we aren't going to plant - which is what I said I wanted to do, and was told it would happen. I could go on for hours about how mad I am about work right now. Boss didn't give me my time sheet with my overtime hours on it, so I didn't show up for overtime because I didn't know! So I had to make it up this weekend, PLUS the one day I already signed up for... I swore I was working one 5 hr day and one 1- hr day but she told me 10 hrs both days. I asked her to check, she said she did check and yes, two 10 hr days... I saw the sheet, and guess what? One 5 hr and one 10 hr. I pointed it out to her and she got mad cuz i proved her WRONG. I can't believe she lied to me about that!! Not to mention the camping trip we are supposed to take without getting paid per-diem, and with very little notice. Sorry hun, I'm not going if I don't get paid!!

Now back to exotics, and I'm not excited. A lot of people have left for school, so our crew is getting smaller and smaller. Cisco left for Pueblo this week, so we partied hard at the Brewery. I was supposed to watch football with him last week and accidentally stood him up to party with Neil. Woops. ;)
