One of my weaknesses is that sometimes I volunteer too much...



So we went to work in the office this morning and we heard there was some worry about layoffs in the near future. Dwight asked Jim if he wanted to form a secret alliance, and Jim said absolutely he did. Jim and Pam exploited this secret alliance to convince Dwight to get inside a box down in the warehouse to listen in on conversations, but then they just left him down there. Meanwhile, Michael planned a birthday party for Meredith to try to boost people's morale...oh wait, this isn't what happened today, it's a plot from the tv show The Office.

What actually happened in the office today was basically what Holly said below...we looked at their teacher resources and told them what teachers would probably really find helpful. The stuff they had wasn't really stuff I would likely use. Then Holly took photos and I came up with some lesson plan ideas if they wanted to develop them. It is funny that yesterday Holly said that we get a little vacay today, and then today is the day we actually went to work. I think she just meant that we didn't have to drive or cook or spend any money or pack up stuff and we could spend some time just relaxing. Like this afternoon when I took a 45 minute nap. But this evening was a little more intense. The walk up the hill was way longer than I remembered it being, and the walk down was a bit worrisome when we couldn't find the path at first and then it started raining. But we made it and lived to tell the tale. So that's what I did on my last day of being 29. Climbed a mountain.

Tomorrow we are having breakfast at the house of the president of Project Vote Smart--he's going to cook for us and give new folks a little orientation to the project and the ranch. And then after being fed and oriented we head to Big Sky, Montana where I plan to play disc golf on a mountain!
