Holy Mother's Day

Hello all!

My apologies for the long silence. But there is a reason for it.

Mother's Day.

You see, I work at a floral warehouse and this is one of the biggest days of the year. So, I have lived and breathed work the past few weeks. But in that time, I have begged the question - does everyone really buy their mother flowers on mother's day? I honestly don't remember ever doing that. We always did something different. One might say that we were too cheap.

I feel like buying flowers has been lost on my generation. But perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I am just a scum bag who doesn't buy my mom a nice bouquet of flowers. So, here is my short little blog for this week - do you buy your mom flowers on mother's day? And if you are a mom - do you like to get flowers or would you rather have something else?

I will be back soon with a longer post! Cheerio.

Thinking bout nothing

Hello from the wintry city of Edmonton! I have arrived and am in awe of how much snow is around.

I arrived on Wednesday evening at 6pm (local time) and went to work the next morning at 7:30am. I am working at a floral warehouse or rather a wholesale supplier. And when I told my dear friend Laura where I was working, she laughed for a hearty 3 minutes (approximately). So, I'm not a total flower person so yes, its a little funny.

But let me tell you - the past two days I felt like shooting myself. Today, I created the same display over and over again for 8 hours. I spent a lot of time in my head! And my thoughts were not that exciting. More or a less attempting to remain sane telling myself "I have a B.A, this is only temporary, I have a B.A, this is only temporary." :) But I am so very thankful for this job regardless of the repetitious work. In fact, this may not even be temporary so I should probably stop talking in case my boss is reading this... (Actually, I just saw that he is a follower of this blog, so all you need to read is, I LOVE THIS JOB.)

I'm sure I will have more stories to tell of my adventures in the flower world. So look forward to that.

So, what's the most repetitive job you've had?

All the best from the Forgotten Nomad.
