More of the same +

This week at work was good. This Thursday we had Milan No-Till, which is a big field day they have every other year at the Milan Ag. Station. Everyone who works for UT for miles around has to work for the field day- including me. It was a pretty good day actually. I had to be in Milan by 6:30, which meant getting to work @ 5:45- ugh! I had been assigned to the "Tent Cleanup" crew, which ended up meaning trash person. It was good. The older guy in charge of us said, "You ain't got to work real hard, just drive around and make sure the trash don't get too bad. I just don't want my butt to get bitten off, but you don't really got to do much." So pretty much, me and another girl just got an ATV and drove around, stopped and hung out with people & occasionally changed trash bags. The ATV we had most of the day was rediculous. It was pretty old and just not working too well anymore. There were no shocks left, so we were bouncing and squeaking around everywhere. And if you let the ATV idle at all, it would turn off and to get it back on, you had to slam on the gas and turn the key and then put it in drive before the gas got back down in the idling range again resulting in a loud squealy noise. It was funny having to drive around with thousands of people walking around you trying not to hit anyone while also trying not to let the ATV slow down too much- much funnier if you had been there.
Yesterday, I went out with some people from work. It was a group I had never hung out with before, but it was fun. It kind of stinks that the summer is almost over and the guys in the group will be gone within a few weeks. I am trying to get the other girl to apply for a job with Dr. Al. We worked together at Milan No-Till and had a good time. (She went to LU- Christie Peterson. I didn't know her before so I don't think anyone else probably will) Last night we went to Logans and hung out for a couple hours. We were supposed to go swimming in somebody's creek, but it was lightninig like crazy outside so that got postponed.
