I have some sad news. The bunny met its maker over the "weekend"...and i didn't do it. There was a $50 bounty on his head. Some people were told dead, others alive, either way the bunny is no longer with us. I'm sorry for those of you who were looking forward to my bunny "tails."
Yesterday I was given a reprieve - i didn't have to clean ALL of the bathrooms because everyone wasn't working. But Sunday is office cleaning day and i got to clean the big football field sized office. Everyday i think more and more about getting a pedometer. Then i took a break and went with the van load to Fred Meyers and Sweeny's (an irish owned outfitter shop...leprechauns in carhartts.) Along the way we stopped at the drive through tobacco shop, we didn't drive through though because we were on a mission. There are lots of little drive through huts around here for various needs...apparently alaska is cold in the winter and people don't want to get out of their cars. then we went to Fred Meyers where i stole a pair of pants by accident. I didn't realize until i was halfway across the parking lot to the taco bell (they have that awesome blue mtn. dew i just love so much) so i turned around and went back in and actually paid. Then it was back to work - another office, fish gear organization, and some laundry. The gear was all washed and packed up at the end of last season and i have to unload it and set it all out so at the top of the day when all of the processors come we can just hand it out (they aren't here yet but when they are i'll be ready.) Each person gets cotton glove liners, black rubber gloves, rubber sleeves, and an apron - apparently the guts and scales get everywhere and that's where if you're not careful they can light the dryer on fire...crazy fish oil and flammable fish bits. I don't care what they say...those rubber sleeves had a fish smell to them...and that was a shame because i wasn't expecting that. but i breathed it in like a champ because that was cleaned fish smell. i can only imagine what this place is going to stink like in a week or two. (but don't you worry i will try and describe it as vividly as i can :) )
