Summer Employment (Ha!!)

Ah... yes. Summer. Don't we all love that wonderful season? When you're in high school, there's no stress, no homework, no school. As long as you didn't fail or don't want to catch up on some credits. And if you don't have Driver's Education.

Not looking forward to that...

Anyway, I have been in a severe lack of mulah. So my parents decided to try their best to employ me.

Our first attempt was to reroof our old house. My dad would pay me 60 cents per shingle. It was a great deal! That's a whole lot of money!


It would have worked out great if the roof itself wasn't rotting.

That's right.  Several areas of the roof are extremely weak.  I bet if you jumped up and down really hard, you'd fall right through.

That sounds fun.  I am going to try that sometime.

So the roof was out.  I was an unemployed teen with nothing to do.  And I really wanted to buy Minecraft.

So my dad decided to pay me to dig out rose bushes. $3 for a small bush, and $4 for a big bush.  

But I knew something he did not.  The big bushes take hours to dig out.  The small ones? 5 - 10 minutes.  

My ingenious plan was to dig out 6 rose bushes to get the rest of the money I needed to buy Minecraft.

So I started digging.  The only problem was, there were only 5 small bushes.  $3 short, I desperately decided to dig out a medium sized bush.

That took about three times longer than the rest of the bushes combined took.

After I was finished, I rejoiced in my victory, put away the shovel, and asked my dad to pay me so I could buy Minecraft.

I am now able to build stuff in a block world.  Was that worth it?

But, alas, that was not over.  I now need a hundred dollars to pay for this Vocal Camp thing that I really want to do.

So my mom decided to pay me $6 an hour to clear out the garden of weeds with a shovel.

You might say, "Oh, that not too hard.  It's just weeding."

It wouldn't be hard if our garden wasn't a jungle.

I hate that job.  I don't get paid much, and it gets my hands covered in dirt and makes me smell like rotting plants.

Is that worth it?  Is working worth it?

Is money worth it?

Yes...

No, more like this:

Limbo and Other Useless Skills

I have recently been asking myself, what on earth has happened to this blog?  Well, I came up with an excuse.  The inter-tubes got clogged.

High School Registration is coming up.
Fun?

No.

We'll be in a match to the death to get the classes we want.

I'll try my best to keep my temper.

.............................

It's over.  It was actually pretty easy.  I just sat in anxiety for about an hour, waiting for registration to open up. It went quite well, though.  I got all the classes I wanted.  Isn't that good?

I think so.

Unless the classes I wanted stink.


I have come to a new realization:

I'm fairly good at the limbo.  Random, right?  Well it turns out I have good quad strength.  I figured out that doing the limbo uses your quads.  After I felt the burning pain of sore muscles on the front of my legs.

Anyway!  Sorry I haven't posted for so long!  Life has just been so exciting!  Much more to do than sit at my computer trying to think of funny things to write about!

Right?

If I was good enough, I could make this a full-time job.  I'd never have to go to school again!

Why are all my drawings of me at the computer making weird expressions?

I heard a song recently.  It went like this:

The Moose the moose

Swimming in the water
Eating his supper
Where did he go?
He went to sleep
He went to sleep
He went tooooooooooo sleep
Dead moose Dead moose
Floating in the water
Not eating his supper
Where did he go?
He decomposed
He decomposed
Heeeeeeeee decomposed


Sweet song, right?  Doesn't it fill you with bundles of joy?  Like sunshine and lollipops?
