A Window to the World

My new job is very busy but super great.  One of the best things about it is that I have a HUGE window in my cube.  At my last job, I was in such a large cube farm that I was no where near an exterior wall never-the-less a window.  I used a background on my gmail account to alert me to when it was raining/snowing/dark out...depressing huh?

Now I have a glorious GLORIOUS window!!!  Here is a picture...

I have a little African violet that I am currently killing.  I don't do well with flowering plants...by not well, I mean I slowly kill them.  I'm surprised that there isn't a picture of me at Wal-Mart with the caption, "do not sell flowering plants to this woman...she is a murderer."

Anyway, I have a great view of this empty field which you think would be boring...but you would be wrong.  Here is a list of the things that have happened in the field.

1) The grass was really long (over a foot).  They mowed it one day, raked it around another day, then raked it into rows the next day, and finally baled it...with a tractor!  I don't know how anybody did work that day.  Unfortunately I wasn't around when they collected the bales...knew I shouldn't have left that night.

2) The day after the long grass was mowed, a hawk came by and snatched up all of the confused critters in the field...score for me and the hawk...not so much for the critters.

3) Many people in cars stop while they talk on their cell phones (people here actually stop driving for a phone call here...weird).

4) And today...TODAY!...a guy came and flew his remote controlled helicopter.  He had come by once before, but the helicopter crashed in the middle of the field and he carried it away all sad.  Today he flew that thing for a full 1/2 hour.  Not only that, but he had to change his shirt in order to operate the helicopter and then changed it back when he was done.  He has a special shirt for operating a remote controlled helicopter...who does that??...that guy I guess.

I'll keep you updated...cause this is bound to only get better from here...
