My workday started early today. I went to the Parks and Recreation Office with co-workers Linda and Lynn to get our money for the day. Lynn, a seasonal employee for the department works in the check-in booth and Linda, a camp host wanted to see where to go to should she ever have to pick up the money. On Mondays and Tuesdays Linda and I will run the camp store to give the seasonal employee who usually works the store his two days off for the week. I’ll do it on Monday and she’ll do it the other.
Upon returning Linda and I went to the store to open for the day. Computer and printers up and running, coffee made, we were open for business. Since Linda was really off today she went on her way and another worker, Tom, came over to work as Ice Man. This park sells ALOT of ice and when we get busy and as ice is sold the Ice Man on duty will get the frozen stuff from the freezers for the customers.
It was slow today. Very slow. There are few in the campground right now and none of them needed to go shopping. Granted, our little camp store doesn’t sell all that much right now but we have a lot coming in yet this week before the big Memorial Day Weekend, our official start to summer. All in all, we did sell some ice, some coffee, some candy and 3 T-shirts.
To pass the time Tom and I played TV Trivia, talked about books and music and in between solved all the worlds problems. I like working with him and once the summer starts I doubt we’ll have time for such leisurely talks and trivia games.
Bob’s day started a little later and he finished up the weed-wacking, that is now done and the park looks very nice with all the grass cut and weeds trimmed. He also tried to help a camper unlock her car door because the keys were inside but they don’t make cars like they used to and wire coat hangers don’t work anymore. He even tried a slim jim and that didn’t work either. A probably expensive locksmith had to be called.
It has been so foggy here today.
You can only see about 100 feet in front of you.
You can’t even see the bridge beyond the playground.
Thick as pea soup!
The Philadelphia Flyer’s are going for the STANLEY CUP! YAY!!!!!
