Today was my first day of work. We had to go through the run of the mill things like what you can and can't wear, what is considered late and where to park. Then we covered Hygiene. This was odd to me. We covered showering, bad breath, washing clothes and the mother of all topics...BOOGERS. Yes you will get points, and points are bad, for sticking and flicking boogers. Too many sticks and flicks = no job. Also anyone caught eating boogers will be immediately fired. Oops, I'm sorry, am I in the wrong place? Is this kindergarten? No? How odd. Fortunately for me I never got into the booger eating phase, what a relief for me, my husband, and the rest of the population.
The thing that gets me is they actually had to talk about this, so you know that it has happened more then once. GROSS!
Okay now onto our gifts from IKE, Hurricane Ike. Please see pictures below.
Gift 1: The pool floaty. For me? Oh how nice. This was up against the front door.
Gift 2: The extra shopping bag. How did IKE know that the 99 bags I currently had just weren't enough.
Gift 3: The fallen mailbox. Now I don't have to lean and pier into my box to see if I got all the mail. I just stand over it and look down. So much nicer. 
Gift 4: Flapping siding. Another reason to love the aesthetically pleasing Duct Tape.
Compared to a lot of places Ike was really easy on us. I hope that no one see's these as complaints. They really are gifts and made us laugh. Crazy strong wind does that to a person.

Not sticking or flicking, huh? But what about picking! They didn't mention that one, did they. Yes! I knew there was a loophole. Where is your new job? I am excited to hear more about it!
ewie
Oh man! That is pretty gross..i'm not gonna lie.
Ike was so nice to give you all those gifts. I know that is all the stuff you two have been needing.
What beautiful gifts you received. Where are you working?
OK, so that is really frieking funny...boogers! It makes me wonder what kind of co-workers you will be dealing with, they've apparently had these problems before! That is awesome you got a pool floaty! We are really fortunate not to have had more damage or our power going out like so many others.
So what is your new job anyway? Sounds VERY interesting!
Yeah, you need to mention where you are working now! Very strange!
I am going to make my guess of where you are working- When they talk about sticking and flicking they were talking about burgers- good old ... Dog on a stick (What is that place they make good lemonade and have to wear those awesome hats that are like a foot tall) - see you stick the spatula under the burger and then you flick it and turn it and then walla- if you flick to many on the ground you loose your job-
um..i am so glad you didn't ever get into boogers, joni! gross! by the way, cute blog...hope you don't mind me blog stalking you!:)
I am glad that Ike didn't affect you too much. We got like 12 inches of rain, but were quite blessed to have a dry apartment. I remember you flicking an eye boogie at Utah Service, and it landing on an unsuspecting customer, who then asked if there was a leak in the roof. Are eye boogies included in the flicking and sticking? I don't know if you would last long.
Congratulations on the new job...as bizarre as it may be...perhaps you can learn a few tricks while you are there. :)
You have the best job ever. I am glad we are friends.
What a funny post! I love the gifts from Ike. Um what's your job? What a fun first day!
hahahahahahah...
hahahahahahahaha.
I.laughed.so...hard. while reading this post. Can you imagine Julie Anderson doing jumpstarts with these rules at the beginning?
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I appreciated that.
You are a great writer Joni!!
Oh, and I didn't even think about your home being effected by IKE. What a scary storm. Atleast you don't have to buy a floaty next year. And silver is SO in right now.
Joni--
I am just gonna say, I really hope things work out for a different job. I just don't see you in a booger flicking environment so much.... I love your blog!
