as i start to type this, i can't really feel the tips of my fingers on my left hand. don't worry, it's not some strange disease, i've just been playing my guitar too much, a "problem" that i enjoy having. i'm starting to get used to all this free time, although i still need some ideas of what to do.
this weekend we had some crazy church ladies out here. they found every single minor problem at camp you could ever imagine. one group of ladies called me 3 times about their air conditioner, saying it wasn't cold enough in their cabin and that their air conditioner was "broken." well, of course i freak out thinking "gene (the site manager) is gone...what am i going to do?" then i think "wait, i'm an engineer, i can handle this." so i go over to the cabin, and see that although the fan is turned up all the way, the temperature is set to the warmest setting, thus the cabin is not cool. i'm so good at fixing air conditioners. i also changed light bulbs, "fixed" toilets, showers, and flipped a whole lot of breakers. it was an exciting weekend, let me tell you, these women were crazy. they invited me to join them for their next retreat, and i said, yep, i'll be there because i'll be here working it. silly ladies. they also took it upon themselves to clean their cabins every day (they were only here thursday night to sunday afternoon...) so needless to say, they are probably cleaner now than when they first moved in! that's ok by me.
not much else is going on here, but oh yeah, it rained like CRAZY today! i walked from my house to the truck which was parked just outside of my house, and by the time i got there, my shorts were literally soaked. definitely the biggest rainstorm i've seen in a very long time, if not ever (although i'm not sure anything can beat the storms we had at camp this summer!) but i got to test out my rain jacket!
i get this weekend off! horray! jenny and kristen are coming to visit me, and matt told me i could have the weekend off since he's been gone every single weekend since i got here just about. i'm excited for them to come visit. after that life gets crazy with trips to ohio and then ropes course training in palestine, tx and not to long after that is thanksgiving in michigan and indiana and possibly ohio again.
oh, i've also been reading a lot (which pleases my library school attending roommate) but it's not all that exciting to talk about. oh, and the wireless at camp is being screwy, so i have to go to the office to get any internet. they think it's my computer, i think it's their internet. justin agrees with me.
