Megan is on the left and Emily is on the right. I can't believe they're all grown up!Seeing them and all the other little siblings of my friends graduate this past weekend
really made me feel older. I'm really a grown up now. It's kinda scary!
CONGRATULATIONS EMILY & MEGAN. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!
I managed a few minutes of weeding this weekend, but that's about it. God provided plenty of water for us so I didn't even have to do that!
I did have a bit of a setback at work last week though. Friday, when I went to collect the coffee grounds from all three buckets, I found one bucket was empty and another had been vandalized. Someone wrote "YUK" on the lid. Very mature, right? I guess last Friday there was a sticky note that said "disgusting" and the week before that an email went out.
I'm not going to go into why I think these people are crazy. I honestly feel bad that they've become so far removed from nature that they think collecting coffee grounds in a bucket to take to my compost pile is more disgusting that throwing them in the garbage headed for the landfill. Personally, I think it's kinda gross sticking my hand in the garbage and feeling the moist heat come up off it from the grounds. I guess it's a good thing I didn't try and make it a true compost bucket! I'll just keep my little on at my desk and keep quiet about that.
However, my boss has decided we need to embark on a PR campaign for composting. I have been tasked with finding the most disgusting landfill picture I can find and all the gross statistics to go along with it.
Wish me luck and please pass along any info you can. I'll keep fighting the good fight and trying to rise above the 3rd grade politics, now that I am a verified grown-up :)
Happy Monday!
*hugs* You've been a grown up for awhile, my dear. Hate to break it to you. LOL Good luck with your new adventure at work. Want me to kick some butts?!?
ReplyDeleteI've decided (with strong urging from my boss) to forgo the butt-kicking this time and use the PR route to make this person or persons simply feel terrible in the end. If you'd have asked me Friday, I may have taken you up on it though :)
