monday started week three of 15-hour days, but that was also our last day of pound cans. pound cans are hell, and the reason for my carpal tunnel issues. they are just so damn heavy, and nothing is ergnomic in the canshop if you are under like six feet tall. it's not that girls can't work there as people seem to think, because girls do canshop in naknek, it's just that they designed it poorly.
and today we have four lines going, presumabely to get us out early for once. or maybe we just have too much damn fish.
i need to make afterwards plans for travel, but i don't know where to start since i don't know when i'm done. i do want to go to misty fjords national park, on this island, so there will go $200 to charter a flight. but it'll be fantastic. and then i will take a ferry to bellingham, and fly to minneapolis from seattle. i'm pretty excited about that, but i still turned down a chance to leave. if i am here, for crying out loud, i might as well be making money for as long as i can!
(thanks for all the mail, those who have sent it to me! if you haven't yet, you still have a few days before i suggest you stop--it takes about a week to get here, and i don't know how much longer i will remain at the cannery.)
You know who lives in Minneapolis...........
ReplyDeleteJust saying. You know, if you need someone to pick you up at the airport or something. Or someone to take you to do ridiculously awful touristy things like go to the Mall of America or to Ikea or the Walker. Or someone to tell you where all the good food is.
But, since I didn't send you any mail this summer (whereas I did recieve a postcard from you), I wouldn't be surprised if I got snubbed while you were flying into the TC.
