I sure am getting a late start to Mt Rushmore, starting June 24th. Why didn't I apply for sooner?? I am so looking forward to meeting people, taking pictures, finding the smile I used to wear. Feeling somewhat like "City Slicker". LOL
Well said Nancy. Wow, you really know how to make a situation positive. I love your reply! I've been here at Mount Rushmore for about a week now and there is this little ol' lady (mid 70's I believe) who has been bouncing around from park to park ...
Whats up Jim. Yeah, I'm working for Xanterra and more then likely will become a "core employee" which allows me to bounce around to their different properties while maintaining full time status. I will however look into DNC now that you mention it...
Howdy Kari. My days off are Thurs. and Fri.
wink wink, nudge nudge
Hmmmm...Sometimes nice ;) ;)
Good for you fellow server. I'm glad to hear you are out having a good summer. Sounds like fun staying in touch with the blog too. Your students are lucky to have such a nice teacher.
Thank you! I will. I am a server this summer...not even telling anyone that I am a teacher. It is a teacherless summer, err, except for the blog with my students. I can't abandon them altogether...But to everyone else, I am just Julie. A freckled,...
I'm glad......you need to be someone not defined by Miss T! Go grab a big armload of life!
Aren't you a funny bunny :) First time I've laughed in hours...
Doug, meet Julie/ Julie, meet Doug. How cute. :)
I really admire you all and am intrigued. Doug- 32 isn't really that old, and I sort of feel like for you it will all fit into place. At least you are thinking about it all, and you know what really makes you happy. Everyone questions "things" abo...
It seems you are a real drifter, so why not find a company that hires seasonal workers but offers year round employment? This would give you some stability and allow you to have a home base and possibly climb a couple of steps up the corporate lad...

- Yup... I've worked about eight of them now. They are an awesome experience because the visitation in winter is about 3% of the summer numbers. We feel like we have the joint to ourselves!
That also means that there is very little work to be done and paychecks stink! But, it's a roof over the head, warm food in the tummy, free laundry and better wi-fi with fewer people on the system. Lots of snowy fun (if you wish it) and the people get closer, because there are so few employees and you're in the snowy mountains hanging out together!
