The Office

Do you ever have a day where time just seems to escape? Today could possibly be described as one of those kinds of days. I started out early enough, getting a tailgate session underway, then getting a most delicious breakfast bagel at the Deli Grotto with my morning coffee. Sunshine Day Dream, with bacon, on a plain bagel... it's delicious (egg, cheese, bacon, plan bagel).

I can't really say that it was the most productive day I've ever had, but I got plenty done during my 8 hours. Part of my duties with the internship involve planning for the next intern to come to the park. I helped develop a strategy of visitor safety videos that we could potentially show at the visitor's center. We secured a filmographer and made a request to get the work done by one of the park's partnerships. I love knowing there will be a lasting impact of something I've done. In this case, it's a series of videos that will help educate, inform, and notify visitors about ways to increase their safety and reduce their exposure to risks and hazards.

For lunch and dinner this weekend, Pizza is on the menu. I've picked up two Digorno pizzas from the grocery and am thinking I could eat about half of each for each meal.

After work, I took a nap. It was one of those afternoons where a nap felt very necessary. I woke up sometime around 7pm to realize the night was nearly getting away from me. I cooked up my pizza, caught up on some housekeeping, did some reading, and prepared my things for a hike I'm planning for tomorrow.
