I can't believe it's Sunday night already. My one day off this week---and it's already coming to a close. Sometimes I wonder where all the time goes; it seems to be flying out the window.

Work is definitely one of the major time comsumers. I work at the farm five to six days a week, with most of those days consisting of 9+ sweat-soaked hours. It doesn't leave much free time....but I manage to pull a few hours out of here and there.

But there are some fun (maybe fun's not the right word. Interesting. That works...) there are some interesting things I get to do at work.

I'm learning to monitor the electroconductivity, pH, nitrate level, etc. of the media used by the nursery--which is actually a really important job within the horticulture field, although most people catch a whiff of chemistry and turn their heads the other way. Maybe I can learn this elusive trade and then rent my knowledge out for big bucks in the future....

I'm also in charge of a tagging project--taking pictures of all the blooming and mature plants, doctoring the pictures in the really expensive (and kinda cool, I hafta admit...) editing program, and setting the final drafts up in the data base and barcoder. With millions of plants on the lot, it's kind of a time consuming task, but it's at least a break from the regular day-to-day grunt work I usually encounter at the nursery.

But I've got to go to bed--I've gotta be into work by 6:30 tomorrow. I promise to have updates on the more fun side of life the second I get a second...
