Summer Work


HA!!! So AAAABOUT work. Welp, kind of a long story... but hey! you are reading my blog so you must have some jean time... since I am going to the Bahamas in the middle of June it has been really hard. I have tried to find a job. I applied to Applebee's [my late employer], Marie Calendar's, Starbucks, IHOP, some Doctors office, Islands, some steakhouse... and others but no luck. I wasn't trying that hard because I knew no one would hire me for a month... then let me vacay for a month out of the country then let me come back for another... It has just been a hard situation. SOOOO my dad... being the WONDERFUL man that he is. has let me be his personal assistant [slash personal slave] and I have been working around the house like crazy everyday. It has actually been really good for me, I have learned a lot. Wanna know examples? K!
I cleaned out the Spa in our backyard, emptying [how does that hose thing work!!! i still don't get it... where it is like the middle part of the hose and you suck one end and if it is lower than the other end the water comes out... crazy!!!] and refilling, balancing chemicals.
I'm working on online banking for my dad, but it isn't working out! If anyone knows how to do it i am in desperate need! Washington Mutual is ridiculous. Everyone should go to Wells Fargo! or Bank of America... but they don't have them in Utah. bah.
Paying Bills. Who knew it costs so much for adults to live! I'm so excited to pay my own bills!!! haha!
I organized his closet... my dad is THE most random person in the world. I'm not kidding! he has everything in there from Honda watches to bubbles to disco balls to every Dr. Seuss book ever written! It's ridiculous and fun at the same time.
I mow and trim the lawn every week. HA! who knew! I'm a gardener! it's fantastic, and surprisingly easy... it's like vacuuming... perfect lines and all! I enjoy it... plus it gives me a killer tan! whoot whoot!
I painted a room in our house. My dad rents out the rooms in our house to help out with money, slash to ruin my life [but it has helped me to deal with adversity and go with the flow and get use to roommates... especially older male ones. i think it has prepared me for my future... though it was an odd way to do so... hum.] Painting... some cream color... haha, it was fun, taping, unscrewing blinds and light switch thingies etc. meh.
Fixed sprinklers in the backyard... loves home depot!!!
Cleaning the house daily, trash, bathrooms [even the roommates... ew] kitchen daily.
Washing the motorcycle and the truck... Ashton gets very jealous.
And i have to say.... the most exciting of all... cutting down the monster of a bush slash tree that has infested the majority of our side yard since the beginning of time. this thing was a beast!!! and it has taken three days to cut down. "There was a saw involved" but no... a CHAINSAW! It was ridiculous. ME and JOEL with POWERTOOLS!!! HAHA, seriously fun but seriously dangerous... how did we not die?!?! it doesn't make sense! We had regular saws too... hedge clippers... a blower... shovel [weird word]... rake... ridic! There are PLENTY of pictures to document this wonderful event. HOURS! SCRAPES! CUTS! BUGS! CHAINSAW! GAS! OIL! TANS! haha, man people should have filmed us. seriously. Hum... welllll that is what I am doing for work this summer... more to come!
