Unfortunately, I am back to either not posting or posting random, rambling posts.
I haven't posted in quite awhile because I have been on vacation. I went to New Hampshire with my family, it was fun but yielded nothing truly blog-worthy except a great picture of Jupiter and a story about my utter lack of control. We visited the world's longest candy counter at Chutter's in Littleton, New Hampshire. It was great but now I have nearly $50 worth of candy to eat and I'm growing tired of it . . . oops. Clearly, I was unable to control myself in such an environment. The rest of the week was mostly outlet shopping, card playing and dairy queen runs. Jon came with us too which was fun and we had some AWESOME food. Our wonderful neighbors from home came up the first weekend with some fresh lobsters and we had some delicious surf and turf. Unfortunately, I had to leave a couple days early to bring Jon home since he had to work but it was still a great vacation!
I only have two weeks of work left and it is as boring as ever. I've stopped tracking the number of phone calls I get each hour because I wasn't getting paid enough to do all that extra stuff . . . long story . . . well, I have time and if you don't then why are you reading this? When I came back to work this summer I was offered this new position answering the phones. The first question everyone asked me when I told them: "Are you getting a raise?" my reply "I hope so" did I? NOPE. I continued to do my original job of faxing the transcription plus answering the phones which is actually half of someone else's job (who gets paid much more than I do) and I was tracking the number of phone calls I got and putting them into an excel file and making a number of charts each week for the doctors to review as they had requested. I also fill in for the secretaries or receptionist when they are away. All for the original price. Apparently, I am quite the package deal. So after review of my bank account, I decided that doing all that extra work was getting me nowhere. But anyway my original point was that I have not had a lot of calls today at all which makes my being here rather pointless. I have no idea where this paragraph was going . . .
I go back to school in 3 weeks which I have mixed feelings about. I'm excited to go and see my room and some friends and be closer to Jon but my house is much more comfortable and I will miss everyone here and I'm not looking forward to going to class and this is a major run-on sentence.
Today's recipe is more of a suggestion. We had it in New Hampshire and it was delicious!
When making corn on the cob . . .
take the corn and before you cook it put some butter on it then sprinkle it with salt and lime zest then wrap it in tin foil and grill it. It was soooo good.
