"O CHRISTMAS TREE"

Well, today was my last day working at Little Hills Christmas tree farm; I'm holding back the tears. Have you ever had one of those jobs that just made you smile. I mean I was getting paid to hangout with 2 of my best friends and like a zillion other people to joke around with and harass. I'll miss the inside jokes, terrible inuendos, and above all Sandy's pepermint bark! I suppose you could say that job encapsulated youth; not childhood. We had to be knowledgeable and responsible, but we didn't take eachother too seriously. Alright now I want to commemorate all of my co-workers (sorry if this bores my other readers you really did just have to be there):

Carol: for always telling us how bad she was at the register when we had to redo entire transactions
Jan: for keeping us company when we had to sit at the door
Sandy: for the cookies of course, but also for reminding us (by us I mean Mary) to stop being so loud. (just kidding MFM I "ove" you)
James Marshall: for drawing me that christmas tree picture and for you're oh so very hot apple cider
James Finnegan: for proving that your middle name actually does exist and just being a sport about everything in general. I still haven't thought of the craziest thing I've done.
Jon: for agreeing that tootsie rolls are gross and that smarties are where it's at! Oh, and for your fabulous middle name
Jamie: for always being the mature one to volunteer to work at the door
Mary: for being my accomplice in antagonizing Alexis
Alexis( I saved you for last): for putting up with me in my "funk" and being a wonderful and dependable friend in general. I wouldn't have wanted to work with anyone else!

To all of these people and the many others I didn't get to know quite as well I salute you. Enjoy your own holiday season though for me at least it seems like I will enjoy two this year one of which has just ended. I will take the memories of the carolina saphire, montery pines, and noble firs to the grave or at least until next year when I can replace them with new ones.

And to the rest of you who neither know nor care about any of the stuff I've just written about, I hope and pray that all of you will get to enjoy a work experience like this one; I certainly couldn't have asked for anything better.
