Blah, blah blah

Natalie tells me I need to update my blog..... Geez, hypocrit. Maybe if I update she'll follow suit. Anyways I guess I haven't updated with what's new in my life for awhile so here goes. I quit Convergy's in May and it was such a relief. My last day there was the best day I ever worked there. I barely took any phone calls because I flat out didn't care if my stats were bad or if I got in trouble for randomly clocking into training and just sitting there. I didn't even have a team leader or manager over my last two weeks there. After I quit, my seasonal job I've returned to didn't start the first of June so I had like two weeks in between where I did nothing. I did that on purpose of course. I've started back at Cedar Breaks and Kolob Canyons working in the Visitors Centers and I'll admit I am already sort of annoyed with it but I'm not going to complain too much because it's much better than Convergy's. And don't get me wrong Cedar Breaks and Kolob Canyons are awesome places to work; I just get so bored and annoyed with people asking the same questions every day. I have decided that next summer I'm going to do something different; Like be a park ranger at Zion? I've talked to some rangers at Kolob about it and I'm pretty sure I'll apply especially since one of the rangers who worked at Zion and has worked at Kolob for a long time said I could use her for a reference. Anyways just sharing my insights about my work situation......
Hmmm... what is else is new and worth sharing? I guess nothing else. Oh wait! I wanted to share....
Today I found out where and when a 5K race is and I'm looking to get more information about it. It is August 22nd and is at Brianhead. I'm totally going to do it and am excited for it! My first 5k race; First step towards my biggest goal. I haven't been running lately so I guess I better get started. I plan to do a couple runs up at Cedar Breaks or Brianhead so I can get a feel for running at that elevation. 5K isn't much but hey it's a start. Next year I'll go for 10K maybe in July or so and then possible a marathon in October or something. I'm working up towards it.
Want to say Happy Father's Day to my wonderful father even though that's a couple days away. I'm bummed I won't be able to make it home because of work but I'm there in spirit. Thanks Dad for everything you do. I love you lots and you're the best! (I'm not sure he even reads this... oh well.)

Good luck finding anything in life that doesn't boring or monotonous. That's just how it goes :) Even being at home with your kids will get that way.
Try to have a good attitude and make the best of it.
It must not be too bad if it allows you to buy fun toys like an Ipod Touch. I was never that rich in college.

Geez, I was gonna say...Natalie is one to talk! Also, I think you should be a park ranger! Also, don't run a marathon it is not worth it!

If you want to run a marathon, then do it! Would Liz know if it was worth it?
