Finally working

Well it's been a while since my last update and I thought it'd be time for an update. So the last time I wrote, I still hadn't started my job, and I didnt have cable or internet in my apartment. Like I said I was supposed to start work on that Monday, however, we had a cold front down here and it snowed on that Sunday. It was the 2nd worst snowfall theyd had here in Atlanta for awhile, a whopping 4 inches. It was too cold and there was ice on the ground still, so I didnt work Monday. I started on Tuesday and worked Tuesday through Friday, 7 until 530 with a half hour for lunch. Four 10 hour days of solid work after not really doing much physical activity really wore me down. The jobsite I'm at is the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and they added on a whole new addition with a parking garage, visitor center, fountains, and irrigation and landscaping around those new structures. I've been doing a lot of the irrigation, digging trenches, laying pipes and wires, and covering them back up. I have also done some cement work and masonry work. After being there only two weeks, I already love it, and I love the weather but not the ridiculous farmers tan that comes with it. Last Friday at lunchtime I sat on a bucket to have my lunch and apparently there was something in there that ripped my jeans because when I stood up after I was finished, I felt a cool breeze that wasnt there earlier. I duct taped them up for the rest of the day. I had an opportunity to get some overtime last weekend working in Columbus GA, which is 2 hours away. I got up on Saturday at 4, got ready, got in my car, but decided I was too tired to drive 2 hours and didn't want to risk falling asleep at the wheel. I talked to my supervisor and he understood so no harm was done. And since I had ripped my jeans the day before I thought it'd be a perfect time to go exploring and shopping for some new ones. Later Saturday evening I went to dinner with my friend Megan who goes to Georgia Tech and some of her friends. After dinner we went and saw the movie Watchmen which was really good. Other than that, my weekend was pretty relaxing.
This week of work was good, I did more of the same that I mentioned above and the weather was perfect, getting into the mid 80s on Tuesday. The forecast called for rain yesterday, so we worked later each day and so when yesterday came, I only had to work 3 hours to get my 40 hours in for the week. It was nice to get off early. Yesterday was also payday, so that made it even better. I started off the weekend by coming home and taking a nap, and then I went and got a massage. It was desperately needed. After my massage I watched the second half of the Illinois Michigan game where Illinois obviously won. I'm watching them play Purdue right now and its not looking good. Today has been pretty relaxing, watching basketball and cleaning my apartment. My parents are coming next weekend with the rest of my stuff, so I need to get it cleaned. haha.
The cable and internet guy finally got here last Thursday, May 5th so I now have something to do when I get home from work. I've been meaning to update for a while, I've just been too tired when I get home from work. I still need to get some pictures but my digital camera was not packed with the stuff I brought so hopefully it'll be coming next weekend. Other than that, not much has been going on. I've just been kind of hanging out, relaxing after work. Once my parents come with my stuff I'll be doing more on the weekends like fishing and biking and golfing.
Thanks to all of you who have called/emailed/sent me mail and packages, it's greatly appreciated. Im going to watch the rest of the Illinois game and then make some dinner. More to come this coming week.
