Working and having fun!


Hey Yall,

This week I've learned that I love working where I work. Where do I work? Western Nut Company. What do I do? I work with Boxes. Lots and lots of Boxes. I pack boxes. I unpack boxes. Load boxes, unload boxes, move boxes, make boxes, brake boxes, etc. I love boxes. Did I mention I count boxes too?

Haha, no. It's not exactly that all the time. We also prepare the stations of nuts that go out to stores for the holiday season, drive trucks, count products and even do some shipping. My Boss is pretty awesome. He gets stressed, but he's still a great guy who really knows how to say what he wants you to understand. :) He sometimes doesn't understand what you're trying to say, but it's just important that the job gets done. I also work with a guy who is always trying to set me up on dates. He's a funny guy who personally declares himself evil. Why, I don't know.

The best part about work? I feel like I'm part of the crew. We come from so many different backgrounds: ex-missionaries, weekend drunks and young guns from California among many more. However, that does not affect how well we interact with each other. I feel like we're friends, even though we hardly know each other. I have to thank them for that. :)

So, if you ever wonder what to do at work, have a nice conversation with your coworkers and find common points in your lives. Thank them for what they do. :) I thank all of my good friends, Family and coworkers for what they do.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
