I'm No Photog

Ok, getting some grief for not posting. I didn't know there were so many of you waiting on the edge of your seats for the next installment of the saga we call "Brenton Wasting Time", (since very few of you comment) (i'm a slut for comments) so here it goes. Miracle March has extended into April. Well, in all reality, Miracle March began on Feb. 27. Since then, i think it hasn't snowed maybe 3 days. Oh, well it rained 2 days ago. That sucked. But it's looking pretty good today. I'm a big fan of waking up to fresh pow or clean surf. Or Lindsay Lohan. Yow!

The resort is closing in a week and a half, so I'm super busy scraping up hours since I'll be unemployed from a W-2 job until July. I'm scheduled for 62 hours this week, and again next week. On top of that is taking care of AutoSnowCo. stuff, guests who're passing through town, and other crap. The kicker is that to pad the hours, I've picked up shifts bussing in the restaurant. Kinda funny. I gotta make sure I look presentable now. Instead of shaving once a week, I gotta do it like every 3 days. I have to talk to guests and not be too much of a smart. I have to wear all black. Ok, that part is kinda cool. But the only black uniform shirt they had that fit me is a women's shirt. The buttons are on the wrong side. It has a feminine cut (which actually looks good on me, if I must say). My name tag says "Gisella". Only 1 server, Lucas, was keen on my idea of tricking the guests into thinking that I couldn't speak English. He was down, but I kept messing it up. 'Cause, I mean, how am I supposed to offer coffee without speaking English? Mime coffee? Finally, when a new table arrived Lucs yelled at me, "don't you dare speak English to that 8 top!" Cracks me up. If we put half the effort into running the restaurant as into our gags, we'd be 5 star, no probs.

Here's a snap shot i took on my way down to Mammoth last week. I generally miss a lot of quality photo ops, but for some reason I was compelled to snap off this mist. Ok, the photo sucks, but it's all I got right now. It didn't come out right. Ok, I'm out of here, heading to the shred hill. Getting into Powder Hunter mode.

And its about bloody time to dont ya think!!
Since i work in the main bar of the casino most of the patrons there are either drunk or just plain rude..
so my trick is when someone starts having ago at me, i say something completely random and slightly crazy, its hilarious..
they dont argue back, instead walk away with this expression on their face, which clearly shows they have no idea what just happened.
If you could see their expressions, truly a kodac moment, priceless...
Ill have to get one of my asian mates to try your trick.. thats pure genius lol
