Michigan Update!
Mar. 15th, 2011 10:43 amI've been here a week. I am enjoying it so far. It is nice and snowy here and it's been snowing about half the time I'm here. One day it was snowing very heavily. I didn't expect that! I thought it'd stop now that it's nearly spring.
I was picked up at the airport which is 2 and a half hours away by my boss and her 3 year old. It was really nice of her to come down and pick me up. It was a long time in a car for the 3 year old so she whined the entire way back, but other than that it was good.
I haven't been doing much outside of work. Mostly work involves scanning a lot of these old programs and ephemera related to the arts academy I work at. One day we put together files, but other than that, it's been mostly scanning. That is mostly what goes on with digitization projects. She's using the faster sheet-fed scanner, and I'm using this slow scanner for bigger documents.
My partner is nice and we go to lunch/dinner together every day. She has her two dogs up here. She's from the area. I live in this cabin and it's kinda dirty, but I like it : ). The next door neighbor also has dogs but his are very obnoxious and bark a lot.
The one day I had off this week, I went walking around up to the frozen lake and walking around the area. I've never been to a frozen lake before so it was really exciting. I took some pics of it so you can check it out. I've also been getting lost a lot. I tried to walk up to the grocery store one day and ended up going on the wrong road. My coworker ended up driving me there later that night.
My back and neck has been bothering me a lot lately, but my coworker pointed out these massage places within walking distance of here so once I get my money deposited, I will go to one of them and maybe they can help me out.
After work, I'm tired because it's hard for me to be accustomed to the 40 hr work week for the first time in my life so mainly I crash in front of the tv or read my book. I have cable and that's awesome, but my internet connection has been really horrible, unusable lately : (.
That's about it, so check out my pictures here- http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2389895&id=6702534&l=5d2765f14f
