My day.

So I had an exciting day, First I got a registered letter notice in the mail so I had to walk on over to the post office. I decided today would be a walking day, I try to have at least a couple a week just to keep myself in somewhat respectable shape and also to keep the old car costs down (not that it helps much). Anyway so on the way there I was trying to figure out what it could be first I was like maybe it is insurance again. Maybe it is a supiena to appear in court and testify against a mob boss then spend the next few years in whiteness protection. Or maybe I won some sort of lottery. After the mob boss one, that was my favorite just because I could picture myself going all Curt Rustle like in Big Trouble in Little China and bringing down the mob, not to mention several kung-fu priests and some sort of black magical being. Anyway turns out it was just my new passport which was pretty cool too.
Then on the way to work I was jiving along with my head-phones and noticed these bunch of kids outside the school doing high jump and they were all starring at me so I was kinda weirded out and I stared right back wondering what they were staring at. Then I caught a reflection of myself in a window. I realized they were starring at the big guy with wind blown hair that looked more like a bad afro, that was staring at them, and apparently talking to himself, while listening to headphones (though I know that I was actually jiving along and not talking to myself). Anyway bad situation to be caught in while walking around Ponoka.
Anyway after that I got to work and found my office full of bickering old women. Apparently they were under the impression that someone ought to be doing something about the soil sinking around the church (we had just replaced the seal around the foundation so there was soil piled up around the church). They figured someone needs to get over here right away to do something about this before the entire church is swallowed in some sort of freak vacuum. I tried to explain that settling was kinda normal and in a few months once all has calmed down they can get back to their flower planting and landscaping and such (more like they can get their husbands back to that but whatever). Anyway since I am just a lowly youth worker and have no idea about such things (where as they are obviously experts) they decided to call over the contractor form our church anyway he said the same thing and they liked it. Whatever!
My after noon was relatively calm usual youth worker stuff hung out at the high school giving away Ice cream went to a movie (Davinci Code so it was considered research and prep for when the kids see it). Then I gave blood right after supper, good times except that after I got up I tripped on a fold of the tarp that covered the gym floor so I was instantly surrounded by nurses who were convinced I was about to keel over and die and would not believe I had simply tripped. Oh well more cookies for me.
Anyway that’s my day. Peace Kids hope you learn.

Tim, I sincerely hope that you get to spend a few years in WHITENESS protection. You could use it. Peace, homey.

Ha, whiteness protection, I love it!!
I kinda hope the church gets sucked into the earth like a giant vacuum. It would make for a good picture on your blog!
