Funny thing from the field trip

13 Apr

I went on the field trip today with work to the zoo. I love rolling my sleeves up and really getting in there with the kids. Because then I get to hear stuff like this:

Leader: Dan, stay here with us. You are so good looking someone might come by and try to snatch you up if we can’t see you.

Dan: I didn’t hear anything after you said I was good looking.

32?

April is Month of the Military Child. To celebrate we’re having a BBQ tomorrow at work. Tomorrow is also my birthday. Cecilia told all the kids that the BBQ is in honor of my birthday tomorrow, not month of the military child.

They took it and ran like wild fire. I’ve gotten pictures, cards, well wishes and questions. I’ll scan some of the cute cards tomorrow.

So far best question from the kids: “Are you going to be 32 tomorrow?”

I’m turning 26.

Wii throw down

24 Mar

This man below is a pro at smack talk. I got emails at work in the middle of the day about how he runs a bowling club for kids and how he could beat me at Wii bowling no problem. Email after email, meeting in the hall one time after another basically saying to me, “Bring it.”

It was brought.

the victor

I work for CYS. It’s a big world wide, Army supporting company. I really like working for them. I’m pretty sure some of the reason is because of people like Tom. Tom is a 62 year old, tennis playing, fun loving, veteran and CYS employee.

Since Tom is a tennis champ, he thought it would be fun to challenge me and 2 other Army wives to a Wii Sports off. Oh, Tom. Wii isn’t like real sports.

Bring it on.

defeat

He did get a knock out on Brooke in round one. But she came back to beat him in boxing 3 knock outs to one.

intense boxing
Cecilia beat him 2 out of three in tennis. Which I think really got him down, being a tennis champ and all.

she wins!

I bowled a 190 to his 122. He was such a good sport and agreed to another match soon. (I’ll bring my camera for bigger pictures next time, too.)

The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.

22 Dec

While most people are waiting to take vacation and take their Christmas breaks, this is the busiest time of the school year for us (let’s not talk about summer). Our center is open from 0600 to 1800 (6 am to 6pm) on days that there is no school. I am working the morning shift into the afternoon with no lunch. Awesome, right?

The amount of work drama that has been going on today is off the charts. I don’t think I have enough engery at this point to recount what’s been going on. That and if you don’t know the people explaining the back story will take longer than anything.

So, I’m around. Just busy at work. I hope to have more posts about more interesting stuff soon.

3 days ’til Christmas!
