Its like high school all over again

This past Sunday there was quite a bit of drama in church. Leading to this drama were the events of two weeks ago. In case you didn't know, someone decided to break into our stake center and start some fires. By some I mean 12, mostly in the kitchen and some classrooms. So the building got a lot of damage, mostly water and smoke and the firemen cut 2 holes in the roof to help vent the heat and smoke. After all was said and done, there was three feet of standing water in the chapel, half a million dollars in damage and no stake center for around 6 months.
In that stake center there are 3 different wards that meet. Those three wards have to go somewhere. They decided to put two of those wards into our building since we are just a branch and we had that whole building by ourselves. Now comes the drama. This past Sunday we met between Sunday school and Priesthood/Relief Society to decide what time we would meet. Our options were 9AM or 1:30PM. So for 20 minutes everyone decided to tell the reasons they wanted to switch to a certain time, mostly the 1:30 time. It was like a bunch of 12 year olds yelling that they didn't want to wake up an hour earlier. They would rather have the afternoon session so they could sleep in. I had to leave. So I got up and waited outside till a decision was made. The decision made me even angrier. After 20 minutes of everyone yelling about not wanting to get up and be there at 9, they decided 9:30 was a great time for church to start. I guess those 30 minutes made all the difference.
So after this we go to Priesthood meeting and the person giving the lesson was one of the people that was adamant about not coming at 9 and saying he would go to his home ward if that was the case. So before he started his lesson he decided to tell everyone he didn't have the spirit with him and wasn't going to give a good lesson. His lesson was on going on a mission. In this lesson I heard a phrase I thought I would never hear in the chapel or a priesthood lesson for that matter. He told the guys not to screw around and be lazy about a mission but he decided to say "don't be dicking around guys." What a great lesson.

I Guess I was Tagged

Four jobs you have had in your life:
* Stocker at Food Lion. This job was pretty awful. I worked the night shift, which wasn't too bad, but I was also working at the putt putt the same summer so I had no free time. I was in charge of the candy/baking supply aisle. I know, don't be jealous. One summer at Food Lion was enough.
* Fudge Associate. Don't start with the jokes. This job was cool cause it was all the candy I could eat, but the pay sucked. This was the lowest paying job I ever had.
* Ski instructor at Sugar. Fun job at first but by the third year I was ready to be done, plus I had graduated by then so I wanted a real job.
* Stock Broker for Watch-ova-yah. We had a compliance meeting last week about using the name of the Corporation for which I work on our blogs and also on other things like gambling at work and using the email system to talk about people. And I know Stock broker sounds cool and glamorous and what not, but its not. It sucks hard.

Four movies you could watch over and over:
* Dumb and Dumber. I laugh hysterically every time I see it.
* So I Married an Axe Murderer. I should not need an explanation for this one.
* My Cousin Vinny. Every time its on TV I have to watch it.
* Tommy Boy/Billy Madison. These count as 1. "What'd you do?!?!?" & "If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis." 2 great lines.

Four places you've lived:
* Norwich, CT. Where I was born and lived till I was 8.
* Carver, MA. Most people do not know I lived here. It was only for 5 months, but I loved it. Carver is near Cape cod and is home to numerous cranberry bogs.
* Shallotte, NC. I got outta there as soon as I graduated. Some of my friends didn't make it.
* Boone, NC. I miss those college days of not working.

Four Places you've been on vacation:
* El Dorado, Ar. This is where my dad is from. He grew up on a farm and was cool to visit when I was a kid. We used to go every summer. But after my grandpa died all the cool farm animals went away. Then it kind of lost its luster
* Boston, MA. My favorite place in the world to visit. I will live there one day. There is so much to do there and most of my favorite teams are there.
* Greenock, Scotland. Where my mom is from. Its the 6th or 7th largest city in Scotland, just south of Glasgow.
* Trier, Germany. I picked this city of all I visited on the trip I must not mention around Shalene because we stayed there the longest, 8 Days. It is the oldest city in Germany.

Four TV Shows You Love To Watch That Are Still On The Air:
* 24. The most addictive show ever. When I bought the first season on DVD, I watched 8 episodes immediately without getting off the couch except to change the DVD.
* The Office. Simply hilarious. Its so good, sometimes Michael makes me feel awkward.
* Family Guy. I have to turn it sometimes when it gets sacrilegious.
* The Amazing Race. I could kick butt on this show.

* If you don't know this one, You shouldn't even read this lame blog.
* Arrested Development. The 2nd best show in TV history.
