Well, if we are being honest, today was less than wonderful. Here is a new fact that I learned about the real world. Getting the day off from work for a holiday doesn't actually mean that you get out of doing any work; it just means that you have to work twice as hard the next day to make up for your "day off." Maybe this isn't news to anyone, but I had never really thought of that before. Kind of that kills the excitement of getting a day off. So, that is what today consisted of. Let me tell you, having to work twice as hard to get two days worth of work done in one day is not enjoyable. It's even less enjoyable when that work is mowing lawns in the 90+ degree weather. I was so ridiculously hot, sweaty, dirty, thirsty, and completely exhausted. Towards the end of the day, I must admit, I may have literally yelled at my mower, the weed-eater, and a couple pine trees. Luckily, Emily and I were able to keep each other going. We can usually make each other smile even if our job is, well, less than wonderful. Once again, the joys of working with friends. Otherwise, I may have yelled at a few more things today, and the yelling might have been a little more profane. Fortunately, today was also paycheck day. It was a pretty good paycheck too. That helps. I can't say I'm excited to get up at 6 tomorrow to do more of the same. And it's supposed to be hotter. Ugh. Sometimes it's not fun living in the real world.
