Fun/Meticulous/Lots of other adjectives Painting

Sorry bout the lack of a visual sunday...i pretty much guarantee graduation stuff for this week. So last weekend i went to quite a few graduation parties and didn't go to one in particular that i caught all sorts of flack for...ah well.

My summer job began this week. It consisted of getting up pretty early and painting for 10+ hours for two days and 6 hours a third day. We had some good times and some bad times. Working with a crew of four for that long each day really starts to wear on you. Some of the good times come when making various inappropriate jokes regarding a certain piece of prepping equipment we use a lot. Others come when we make fun of our job site manager a.k.a. slavedriver to his face. Still others come at when the guy we are working for in downright hillarious. And by hillarious i mean uses the F-word all the time, but usually describing the dog which "we've f***ing spent $3,000 on since we bought it." The guy was quality though. He gave us coolers of gatorade everyday we came, and we're not talkin one flavor and one bottle per person. We are talking Wal-Mart quality selection here. Edge bottles, regular bottles, flavors you never knew existed like Lemon-Lime-Strawberry (an X-Factor exclusive) all resting in jumbo-sized coolers that only construction workers have access to.

My personal favorite story occurred after we had finished the job. Alan (for that was his name) considers himself quite the cook, and rightfully so. On Tuesday he asked what kind of meat we all liked. "Burgers are fine," we said after he tempted us with steak and ribs...i mean seriously who wants to admit that their client fed them ribs or steak (ok, maybe me)? He told us he makes one mean burger called Big Al's Big (another word for bottom...not underside...keep thinking...) Burger. It was big. "You guys can help yourselves to whatever you want to drink downstairs. We've got everything under the sun." "What a hospitable guy," Craig and I thought. We hopped down the stairs and found the fridge, only to realize that Al had left a qualifying phrase out of his earlier statement. He should have said, "We've got everything alcoholic under the sun." Cuz seriously, there was stuff i never even knew existed. He even had mouthwash covered. And he was freely offering it to kids whom he knew were minors...craziness. "As long as you can still drive, you can have whatever," he added later on. Oh geez. Good times. Great Oldies.

Graduation weekend starts tomorrow. Welcome home to my sweet sister and welcome to Topeka to Chad :). Got any parting words of wisdom anyone?
