Weekend Work

I survived the trip to Chambersburg PA! This past weekend I had the luxury to spend my time counting thousands of odd ball widgets. I left for PA Friday night to this strange place called Chambersburg. Every state has a hick town and this was one of PA's finest. It was mandatory for the employees to be there and they had us start at seven AM. We didn't finish on Saturday until nine-ish. I swear there were times where I thought I was becoming delusional. We found out after the last count that the crew from Baltimore had to stay and count the next morning. Ah!!! It was a nightmare come true. So, the crew decided to go to this place called "Razzles" across from the Holiday Inn. I kid you not, this place was something out of seventies biker movie. First of all, I have concluded that ninety-five percent of the employees at my company are complete and utter rednecks. I am not being derogatory, just stating a fact. This made this place like home to them. I would have to say the indifferent feeling reminded me of "Candyhill" resorts. This was the epitome of a "dive." But strangely, I checked out the jukebox and saw Switchfoot's song, "Meant to Live." That was cool because I was surrounded by decadence and needed that hint of God. The night was long and the craziness only got more crazy. I believe at one point I was dancing and realized I had more teeth in my mouth than the two girls dancing near me. Yikes! It again was just scary!

Sunday morning was definitely a slow-to-get-up morning. I ended up splashing my face and walking out the door. After getting there they announced that there were problems with some of the printing and told us we could leave. So I made the two hour trip home in a little over a hour. Soon as I dropped my luggage to the floor I was out. Slept for a few hours and ventured off to my soccer game. We lost a close one to a rival team. Err... I hate that. The cool thing was I got a chance to go to a service at Grace. Since I was unable to make church this week at "Horizon", It was gratifying to worship and feel God. I needed it. I was also so very happy to see so many of my friends from Grace. It's been some time since I seen some of them. I am going to try to make an effort to stay in better touch with them. Well, that was my less than exciting weekend. I hope that I will never have to tell you anymore stories about the chilling town of Chambersburg.
