Day off

I have a day off, cool. My schedule has been crazy lately. I quit working at White Oak last Friday. I had a chance to work with Bowen Auger for a couple of weeks. It was a 'no-brainer' financially. I will probably have a week of in between jobs. I Don't know if that's a good thing or not. I'm starting on with a company called Hybrid Scapes. It will be an easier job than White Oak. I will be doing maintenance, installation, and possibly some spraying. The pay is a little bit more, and the schedule is a lot better. I will really miss getting up at 4:30 though. No not really. Start time is seven, and usually back in around four. It is also a salary position. I am really hoping this job works out, as I am tired of swapping jobs like a teenager. It will still take me 45 minutes to get there, but it is close to school which is good..........Everyone is good here, got to spend most of the day with Cat, which was fun. We went to the greenhouse and picked up a camellia for grandma. I planted a couple plants at my folks house last week. The camellia will fit in good(Camellia japonica). I planted an Ilex vomitoria 'pendula' or weeping yaupon holly, a Hydrangea quercifolia or oakleaf hydrangea, Aucuba japonica or Japanese aucuba, and Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'prostrata' or cow tails pine. I'm really itching for spring..........Started my second quarter of school last week. It's ok so far. The classes are packed full this quarter, which is different. I'm taking Landscape contracting, and pest management. Landscape management is pretty interesting. It is all about running a small landscape company, the accounting is really boring but I will learn a lot I'm sure. We have lots of homework in both classes, I thought last quarter was bad. Pest management is boring, but the final is actually the state exam for commercial pesticide applicators license, which I need to have. So that's what's going on around here......Next time maybe I'll have pics and something interesting to say.....
