I want to apologize for not posting in awhile. The place that I live at is a homeless shelter.....ok so I am blowing it out of proportion a bit. Let's just say they make it sound A LOT nicer on the phone than it really is. The computers that they told us about worked for the first 4 days and then the internet went out. We were told that it would only be 24 hrs and 24 hrs turned into a month. So hopefully sometime next month I will be able to put some pictures up. Thankfully my roommate is letting me use her laptop to check my email.
I was able to go to the Healy Branch on Sunday, and let me tell you they love seasonal workers. We make their little Branch triple for the summer. Church is from 5:30PM to 8:30PM and they serve us dinner since we miss dinner at the "Homestead" (that is what they call the place where I live) I call it concentration camp. Don't get me wrong...I love Alaska and I love my job....I am just less than thrilled with my living arrangements. I also get a little bored in the evening because everyone except for the underaged people go to the bar here at the Homestead...yes there is a bar across from the cafeteria that opens up every night at 7:00PM kinda crazy..... Anyway I don't really know any of the underage people very well but I met a few people at church so hopefully it won't be as bad. It was a breath of fresh air to go to church because for 3 hrs straight I did not hear the "f word" once which is pretty darn amazing. I hear it all the time at the Homestead, it is used VERY freely here and it drives me effing (hahaha) crazy!!! The season starts on Wednesday the 14th of May and I am kinda scared because we have not been trained very well, training has kinda been all over the place so I am just going to have to fake it till I make it. Today I was supposed to go on a flight tour around Mt. McKinley but it was cancelled because of the stupid wind!!! I will be able to reschedule but this would have been the only time I would have been able to go with all the Front Deskers, now I will have to go by myself on a day off when there happens to be an empty seat. I love all of the people that I work with at the Front Desk, they are so fun!!! Tonight I helped one of them steal a mattress because hers was about 10 inches thick, caved in in the middle and the springs were poking her in the back. So we found someone who didn't have a roommate and took the mattress off of the bed that wasn't being used, carried it down 3 flights of stairs and could not stop laughing the entire time. We were so afraid that security was going to see us on the cameras and come confront us, so we were trying to be all sneaky carrying a mattress. Doesn't sound very funny writing it out, but I could barely carry the darn thing I was laughing so hard. Then we had to carry her piece of crap mattress back up the three flights of stairs....a good time was had by all. Wow this ended up being a lot longer than I had planned! I miss everyone, but I am having fun! Please send me stuff!
