Saturday again
So many little things I think about posting as I go through my week. I should but never get a round tuit. I go in to work early enough that I get to see the fog still clinging to the ground in the valleys and on Lake Joy as I pass on my way to work. Yesterday reminded me of how the clouds used to stick to the steep mountainside in front of the house in Hawaii. Little puffs of cotton, sticking to velcro is what it makes me think of. Yesterday, there were small patches of dense fog here and there in the morning mist, like cotton balls laying on the ground in the fog. And the mist on the lake looks like steam rising up from hot water. Very interesting.
I dreamed about Hawaii last night too. Even my dobie Layla was in this dream. Mom, Dad, Aunt Linda, Michelle, both kids (younger than they are now)… very odd dream. We were at a book store buying stuff. Layla was sitting in a cart like the grocery cart I use to tote laundry to and from the laundry room… Mom was at the register writing a check for a stack of books, the rest of us were waiting our turn. I wonder what that dream meant. Funny how dreams are supposed to mean something. I think most of my dreams are just wishful thinking or random thoughts occupying my mind.
It’s been cooler the past few days than it has in weeks. The rain has stopped, the air has been cool and the sky sunny. Perfect picnic weather. Maybe I’ll pack up my lunch and go to a park today. Sit under the trees with the birds and bugs and eat a sandwich. I should take my camera and start posting more pictures. I used to like doing that but lately it’s been sort of lost. Unlike Hawaii, everything in Wisconsin looks the same. There’s not a lot of variety in scenery and scenery is what I like taking pictures of. :-|
I got a new camera from an Ebay auction. It’s a 35mm Minolta and I don’t have the other specs because it was not working and I had to send it back. I was really looking forward to learning about 35mm cameras, but now will have to wait for the replacement. It’s the sort of camera that I can buy other lenses for, and a better flash if I want. So I was hoping eventually I could afford one of those telephoto lenses so when I see cool stuff way out there, that I’d be able to zoom in on the interesting subject and get a good shot of it. So far all the cameras I’ve owned didn’t do that. We’ll see. I’m sure time (and a new job) will tell whether or not I can expand on this hobby.
I’m heading in to my last 4 weeks as an intern. Although several people from IS have moved on to other companies since I started at Lands’ End, so far the big-wigs say there will be no more hiring. Funny thing is, I found a job listing on Wisconsin JobNet for an internet position. I’ll be sending in my resume, hoping for the best. Although I can’t fill the shoes of the people who left, I sure have what it takes to start at the bottom and work my way up. I wish I could convince somebody to keep me on, and let me learn and grow. I like it there, even tho the “climate” is less than desirable at this time. I feel very comfortable with this company.
I woke up early today so seeing as it’s not even 8:00 a.m. I can take some time and be lazy this morning. I do have to get out to the bank and maybe I’ll go by the farmer’s market this morning. Brian is off in Galena with friends today, so it will be a quiet day. He left last night, so it was a quiet night as well. So this post is long and rambly enough, I’ll go play Bejeweled or Monkey Solitaire or something… :mrgreen:
