I just love Calgary's weather, don't you? Bah. Snow in August? Yes, we've had snow at the
end of August sometimes, which is still an outrage, but at least it's, you know, getting closer to fall. But no. It's
August 2nd, and some areas around here have snow. This entry sounds a lot like
this one. What a strange summer we're having this year. All I ask is that it's warm, not this coming week, but the week after. I can't imagine doing an Outdoor Pursuits camp, taking 18 kids hiking, river rafting, to the waterslides, camping, and biking in this weather. We'd have a whole camp full of sick kids before the first day was over! But really. It's the beginning of August. We should still have a few weeks of nice, hot summer weather.
But whatever. I'm not going to complain about that any more. Today was just one of those days that seems to stretch on f-o-r-e-v-e-r. By 3:00, it felt like it should have been closer to 6:30, and by the time I got home from work at around 6, it felt like late evening already. I think it's just because it's so grey and gloomy outside. That just makes everything groggy and lethargic. Fridays at the office in the summer are hilarious, because no one's there. Everyone takes Mondays off, of course--they're a pastor's weekend. But during July especially, half of them take Fridays off, too, so it's just dead around there. But meh, it's still fun.
It looks like I'll be doing any and all odd jobs around the church this month. I have a certain number of hours to work, because of the government grant they have to hire me, and I can't share them with anyone else, so I'll be doing all kinds of odd stuff around there. Should be interesting... Marva gave me my list today, and the bottom two things on it were "Talk to Bev re: cupboards and other jobs," and, "Talk to Murray about odd jobs." Yes, it'll most definitely be interesting.
My word of the day is "Bah." I don't know why that's the case, but it is. I was just talking to Brian, and it sounded very much like I was cranky, but I wasn't. I was just in some sort of a weird mood. I laughed through the whole thing, though. "Crankiness" and everything.
