Terrible Tuesday

Okay, let me start by saying that it wasn't a terrible day, I just like the alliteration. It was a rough day though, you will see that as I go on.

First, it started by me almost burning my eye out. My contact container had gotten knocked over last night somehow. But I figured that it had soaked for the 6 hours that it needed to, so I went to put the my right contact in. Then the burning pain in my eye began. It hurt!! A lot!! So I was resigned to wearing my glasses.

Then, you know it is going to be a good day when you come into the Rec Barn to be welcomed by a dirty bathroom and a half cleaned up vomit mess. I had the bathroom and Kourtney took the stairs (the "mess"), which I give here sainthood for. However, after the Barn smelled of bleach, we worked on cleaning up after the paintball games yesterday. I just have to say that those masks can be a pain in the behind to clean.

At eleven, a couple came in for an ATV ride. Since it was a slow day I was able to tag on with the group so that I could get more experience on the ATV. Let me just say that this was the point where I wished that I didn't have my glasses on. I got so much dirt in my eyes, but I still had a blast. Well until five minutes left in the ride when one of the guests got in an accident right in front of me. I won't go into details, but it remained me of how dangerous ATV riding can be. The guest is fine, just some scraps and bruises. However, it was quite the experience to go through.

The afternoon seemed to go much better, and the day picked up from there. I went out with a group for Skeet Shooting, and may I just say that it is hard to throw those clay pigeons at first. Yes we throw them manually with this weird contraption. Right at the end I tried it again and was able to succeed. From there we sat around the Rec Barn waiting for a job and eventually went out on trail maintenance. This time I has an pick axish tool, and may I just say that it is hard to hit the same spot every time.

On the way back from maintenance my thumb was pretty tired from all the ATVing. But no worries, I spent the evening watching disc 2 of season 1 of Glee. Yep that's right: Glee.

Well friends there is the summary of my not so terrible Tuesday.
