new twist in life...not really

so i finally got a job, but i get teased about it constantly. i guess you could say its my first job -ish. my senior yr i worked at the local rec center on saturdays, but everyone that i hang with say it doesnt count because i didnt do anything. i thought a paycheck that you get cuz you worked counts as work. you learn something new everyday. so what i do now is clean a friend's house with pe. its not considered work cuz i can clean the house whenever i want, there are no set hours. i can show up and leave as many times as i want til the job is done. my kind of job :) it works with the hectic basketball schedule.

i would say everyone i tell i have a job they go in shock. they cant believe i have some sort of job, if they will even call it that. poppy kosh I HAVE A JOB!!!!!! it only took me and pe about 4 trips to the house and about 4 hours to finish. we had to find all the stuff for cleaning and then we had issues figuring out the vacuum. the guy had a central vacuum system. the filter is in the garage and the vacuum hose plugged into the wall. WEIRD!!! so i vacuumed the downstairs and the stairs without the hose plugged in, thinking it was doin its job. we then left the house after completin the downstairs, or at least we thought we did. at least i used the right vacuum.

the next day we went back to finish the upstairs and we debated which vacuum to use. i ended up using the steamer. oops! it looked like a normal vacuum, at least more than the actual vacuum. tricky! while i was steaming, thinking i was vacuuming pe was doing something. i cant really remember. oh she was dusting stuff. we finished that and left thinking we were completely done. guess again :)

pe ended up talking to jensen that same day about the whole cleaning thing and somehow the vacuum thing got brought up. he began to talk about how you just plug the vacuum into the wall, therefore hooked up to the central vacuum system. what the heck is that?!

so that same night pe, alice and i went back to the house to try to find that darn plug in and how the vacuum worked. alice made both pe and i feel really stupid cuz she found it so fast...and then called us stupid cuz we didnt know what we were even looking for. later we found out she had no idea what was one except she had one in her aussie house. not fair!!! we've only seen a vacuum that gets plugged into an outlet and does everything else on its own. oh yea we also realized the bathrooms didnt get cleaned. oops, not good.

so then the next day we were only expecting to clean the bathrooms and then leave and finally be done :) didn't happen. instead before we showed up we found out i vacuumed the entire upstairs with the darn steamer. so guess what i got to do...yep revacuum all the upstairs. we officially finished the house. it took about 4 hours, but should have only taken about 3 except we had to redo a lot of stuff.

the rest of the week was full of weights, physical therapy, sleep and relaxation in front of the tv. im super interesting...not
