The Job

I guess it is about time to tell you all about what I am doing here as a job. First off, I did not end up with the job I was hired for. Not too surprising, but I still kind of wish I ended up being a bell hop. Oh'well, life goes on. I work utilities at Lodgepole Market. We sell groceries, and lots of stuff that say Sequoia. We also have a deli that sells pre made sandwiches that have gotten boring to eat real fast, and a snack bar that sells the typical grease covered cheeseburger, fries, and if you're felling lucky, the pizza.
Thankfully my schedule is set each week so it is easy to plan around. Unfortunately I can't do much around it. I start each day at 12:30 and work till 8:30. Not enough time to do a major hike in the morning and too dark by the time I get out. I receive Sunday's and Monday's off, in which I will take my big hiking trips on. For example, I am taking a 14 mile round trip tomorrow to twin lakes. Should be an epic adventure.
Typical day consists of taking out the trash, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning the laundry rooms, stocking wood and beer, breaking down boxes, I occasionally help out on cash register, but other than that it is up in the air. My bosses say I do a good job and that I am on top of things, so I would say they like me well enough.
Living conditions...well, are interesting. I currently have one room mate, but I am about to receive another. The room is a little bigger than what my dorm was at SAU, but not by too much. Coming into the room two others were already settled down, but for some reason my boss decided to move them and keep me and my current room mate in the room even though we had just got there. Anyways, my point is to say, the room had not been cleaned when I got there. Dirty blankets shoved in a corner, trash on the floor, and definitely needed to be vacuumed. Bad as that sounds, at this point I am just glad they decided against putting a total of four of us in the room. I am a very tolerable individual, but I have no idea how four of us would have lived in that room. It is much like dorm living. One bathroom down the hall and all of our rooms on the same length of hall. We also have a small hang out room with a TV. This all being located above the market. We have no internet or phone service, but we do have a fire bit! In order to write these posts or get on facebook, I must make it two miles up the mountain to the Wuksachi Lodge. Thankfully there is a free shuttle.
So there you have it. Where I live and what I do!
