Eventful

This is kinda funny, I started this entry on Friday but didn't end up posting it because work got busy. It's kinda ironic that the title was published and it said eventful even though there was nothing written.

Well I have not written in a almost a week. So many things happen each day that I want to write about but then I forget and the next day brings even more things and then it just gets too overwhelming to think about. But lets backtrack a little. On Thursday we finally went and got the Christmas tree but not before we spent riding around for an hour on the army base looking for the right location to get the trees. We ended up in a place called ammo country and where we proceeded to find our 4 Christmas trees that we needed. One of our clients Greg came with us because he is the master of finding the best ones. So we went off into the deep woods, hiking in knee deep snow with a saw and an ax. Anyone remember National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation? Yes that movie kinda reminded me of this experience. But it was quite fun and as we were driving away at 11:30 the sun was rising and it was so good to see the sun. The sun is my new favorite friend, but it does not like to spend much time with me. But I hear it gets friendlier in the summer...I can't wait.

Ah yes and on Friday we had a nice wine and cheesy party. This involved of course the usual players of wine and cheese but an added bonus of flashy Christmas sweaters. I usually am not the mingler type but this party was quite nice. Lots of people's co-workers who were around the same age range and some games to get the fun going.

I feel like I am just recapping what has happened in the past few days which I was really trying to stay away from. I hope that as I catch up I will be able to stop doing that. But I really want to talk about yesterday because it was a really good day at work. I did the usual help people in the morning, van rides in the afternoon, but then later I got to help one of our clients move into his apartment. So not a usual thing we do but my supervisor promised to do it and so I got to help as well. It took a few hours but it was nice to get out of the office. Things like this make me really like my job because there's always something new to do but yet there is some structure throughout the day as well.

And this week is going to be just as busy with something to do every day. But I must say the winner is going to be Wednesday because we have been invited to an 80's Christmas party at some fancy shmancy members only club downtown. But Friday is a close second because we get to give out beanie boxes, which are decorated boxes with goodies inside, and also a candlelight vigil remembering all the clients that passed away this past year. Sadly I found out that they found one of our clients under a bridge passed away, and he was probably the first client to die that I knew and talked with from time to time. But I am told it will get a lot worse as the winter goes on so I am strapping on my seat belt for the journey.
