Chip off the ol' block

Well, I made it. I finished the first week at work! It really wasn't that bad at all. THE GUYS LET ME ON THE ROOF!! I was so excited. At first they didn't trust me up there and that's why my feet stayed on the ground [and it probably didn't help that I kept tripping over everything that was laying on the ground]. But, they decided to test me and see if I could live up to what I was saying. And I did. YAY! I finished the week off mowing a lawn for Dean, my boss, instead of helping on the barn because there were a lot of us there. So, after three days of work, this is what I got accomplished...

- I made it up on the roof.

- I managed to prove to the guys that I really could work harder than them.

- I got several nicknames [Muscles being one].

- I got a nice little tan going from being outside...[And yes, Melissa, I did use sunscreen...on my face...only the first day...]

- I got my first paycheck in a while from a full time job :D

- I learned how to use a riding lawnmower and figured out the technique you have to use when the grass gets all caught up under the front...swerve.

I am off tomorrow and will be heading to the place to apply for a job on the Honda assembly line. And also going to Jacksonville State to talk to some folks up there.

Please pray that JSU will accept my credits from Southeastern after I present my case of why they should. Kristie has helped me to have a strong case and I believe that if I present it well enough, they might consider it.

Until next time,
Chels
