Life

You know the AC has been cranked up too high, when your sitting in your office, and it is 85+ outside, drinking hot chocolate. But this has become a bit of a norm here at the office, there is no in between usually, either too cold or too warm.

I am excited! It is my birthday this coming weekend, and we are going down to the cities to see the King Tut exhibit and then going to the Minnesota Zoo. I love zoos, it is fun seeing all the different animals, you never see on a daily basis, whether they be locals or not.

This past weekend I got to go to a Lunkers game, which is a local Minor League Baseball Team I believe. It was fun to watch I had never been before.

I think this may be a rather short post, but oh well that's the way it goes sometimes. But I have 5 weeks left at my current job, and then I am free for a week and then get to go back to school. I am excited, I am so ready to go back to school, this job has been a great experience, but I miss school. I am not ready to jump into the life of a full-time job yet. Heck I am not even 20. I am not even sure what I want to do for the rest of my life. It will be nice going back to a routine I know well and being able to hang and see my friends more, and have a life outside of the office.

Also once I am done I won't have to deal with the Manager of a Youth Center as a volunteer. It is one of those situations where you like them as a person and dealing with them that way is awesome and fun, but when you have to work for them it just doesn't work. This person never asks you to do something, she tells you you are doing it and this past weekend, she switched weekends with me with out asking or telling me. I volunteer there, so technically I am not one of her employees, but isn't it common courtesy to ask the person to switch days with you, instead of scribbling your name out and putting their name down and moving you to another day on the schedule. That personally is my opinion, and my experience as the right thing to do.

It just really bugged me that she did that, luckily I don't have to work though, because we had plans and I told her that I simply can't work that day, since I wasn't supposed to in the first place and had already made plans with family. Maybe she will learn to ask next time.

But that's all for now I think so I am out, look for my next ramble.

Trying to Focus

My focus for work today has officially been shot I think. I can't focus on what I need to do and it just sucks. This is mostly due to the fact that the weather is finally swimming weather and though I went yesterday I wanna go again! Especially since it's not only hot outside it is so dang muggy. It also doesn't help that I believe I bruised my right lower ribs. How? I have absolutely no clue. All I know is yesterday during practice for a community band I couldn't play half the time, because I wasn't able to get enough air in and it hurt when I tried to play. It sucks so much, especially when I am trying to sit. I can't slouch otherwise it gets stiff and sore and sitting up straight is fine except my office chair doesn't have a lot of support for that and my back grows tired after sitting like this for a few hours. But the worst part is it really fricken hurts and my ribs are stiff, because I am trying to keep the movement to that area to a minimum.

Breathing also kind of sucks since the muscles are all tense around it and I can only take shallow breaths to avoid the pain. I just hope this doesn't last too long, and heals soon. I can't imagine it is too bad, since I haven't fallen and nothing has hit me in the ribs.

On the upside, I finally got to go swimming yesterday and I got a tan! Though a few spots are almost burned and slightly tender, but that usually happens when I get my first sun of the year. I hate having the winter pale when it's summer.

Well my break has finished so I shall be trying to get back to work now. Hopefully this little post of ramblings and me whining will help.
