So, I'm at work and am pretty bored. I decided to do a little write up about quircky things about me.



I love my family more than anything in the world. Smiling is a must even when I'm in a bad mood. It doesn't take much to make me laugh. I hate rollercoasters.My mom is my best friend. I don't like being told what to do. I don't have an inside voice. I hate when my cell phone doesn't have service. I don't understand how CDs work. I admire my little sister. I can laugh at myself. I hate backstabbing girls. Rachel Haakana's laugh is the best sound ever. I'm proud to be from International Falls. I'm not tall. I think celebrity gossip is ridiculous, but I still read it. I hate mice. I enjoy my lab group. I like the sound high heels make on wood floors. Strawberries are my favorite. I love sunshine. I hate people that are overly opinionated, but don't know what they're talking about. Ponto Lake is the best place on this planet. Tourists annoy me more than anything. I can't stand it when people don't use their blinker. I hate Cell One, but not as much as my mom does. I like to drive fast, even though I always get caught doing it. Puple is awesome.I love getting mail. I have never liked POP. I hate Wal-Mart a lot and K-Mart even more. I like to get my way. I love taking and being in pictures. I think flip flops are amazing. I'm the pickiest eater you'll ever meet. I love to have massive amounts of energy. I love my ruby red slippers. I enjoy taking long naps. Beans is my nickname, no clue how my cousins came up with that. Oh, and they're the only ones allowed to call me by that name. I dislike pack-rats. Pink lemonade is fantastic. Ice skating is so much fun. I'm not a fan of fast food. The Norske Nook is stupid. I like to people watch. I hate spending money on gas. I love being crazy with Angie. Tubing behind the boat can only be done with two tubers, and going with Nikkee is scary. The littlest of things can excite me. I want to travel. I like looking forward to things. Hunting is a blast. I want to be a news reporter. Greys Anatomy is my new favorite show. Commercials get on my nerves. I like getting dressed up. I love living on my own. I like people that listen to me vent. I wish I kept a scrapbook better than I do. I hate repeating myself. I finally walked the tracks. I love staying in hotels, but don't always like that I work in one.I'm always up for having a good time. Christmas is the best time of year.

Super funny!

Someone sent this to me the other day and I thought it was hilarious. It is 27 things to do in an elevator.

1) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor your on.
5) Hold the doors open and say your waiting for a friend. After a while, let the
doors close, and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"
6) Drop a pen and wait until someone goes to pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"
7) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
8) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever anyone gets on, ask if they have an
apointment.
9) Lay down the twister mat and ask people if they would like to play.
10) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on, ask them if they can hear ticking.
11) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
12) Ask, "Did you feel that?"
13) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
14) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic, they open again!"
15) Swat at flies that don't exist.
16) Tell people that you can see their aura.
17) Call out, "Group Hug!"and then enforce it.
18) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up, all of you, just
shut up!"
19) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"
20) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
21) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "Your one of THEM!" and back away slowly.
22) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
23) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
24) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
25) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce, "I have new socks on".
26) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!"
27) Bring a plastic blow up doll and pretend it is your wife/girlfriend and say "Don't yell at me woman!" and throw her into the wall.

Mostly for me:

This is a link to the newspaper in my home town. Nothing really exciting unless you live or are from there, but I needed something to practice linking.

Work

I just recently started my new job at the Holiday Inn Express in Bemidji. Gotta pay those college bills off somehow. I'm not new to the hotel business. I've worked at Holiday Inn since I was 15 years old. I haven't had a few jobs here and there, just the one, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

It is weird adjusting to a new work atmosphere. I don't recognize any of the guests anymore. At home, I was familiar with at least someone almost every day. The people here are very friendly, but they aren't my co-workers from home. Can you tell I'm not super great with change? I feel like a stranger here, but now as I remember back, I used to hate, I mean absolutley HATE going to work at 7a.m. when I first started. Writing that and remembering that makes me feel a little better, I guess.

Anyway, hopefully I'll make it through my second day here. Who knows, maybe I'll get to go home early! :)

Brand New

I pretty new to this kind of technical stuff. I'm expecting to suprise myself in how I can fancy this blog up.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed I can bring my creativity out of hybernation and come up with something worth looking at. Enjoy!
