I woke up on the morning of June 11th, excited about the prospect of finally being able to start riding my bike to work and such to lose the couple of pounds I've gained in the past year (and by couple I mean 40.) I walked out the front door, took in a deep breath of the fresh summer air.... opened my eyes...... and it was snowing. In the middle of June. Snow. June. Wow.
Things have been moderately rough here lately. Aside from the obvious circumstances now going on, which I won't bother to discuss. Melaleuca had it's annual customer care convention on Tuesday. They were planning on showing my movie (see previous blog) at the convention in front of the 1000 or so people attending. My whole team couldn't stop talking about how excited they were to finally see my movie. I sat down jittery with anticipation to see the crowds reaction. And instead of my movie at the end of the convention they played a TEN MINUTE slide show with nothing but "inspirational" quotes from famous historical figures and company leaders and such. Ten minutes.... the entire segment could have been summed up in one line. "Don't suck at life." So ya, instead of playing my movie like they promised, they played ten minutes of slides that were so hard to read and moving so fast that you could only read one out of every four slides that flew by. Everyone on my team looked at me and asked when they were going to play my movie, and I tried to put on a brave face and say, "I guess there just wasn't time for it." With everything that's been going on, to have that taken away from me seriously almost brought me to tears. I guess it really shouldn't be a big deal, but I've been looking forward to it for almost two months. Oh well, life sucks then you die right?

Meh, there's nothing they took that I care enough about to go after them legally. I was upset about the antique trumpet, but it wasn't worth anything, it just looked cool. Hope you have fun in Ireland, with all the changes that have gone on, I think in the most likely event that I don't get an internship there, I'm still going to try to save up for a trip there in the next few years.
Well, this one isn't paid, but just to get you thinking:
