Mushroom Maynia

Yes, I know how to spell mania but this is how it was advertised for the museum. Will the cleverness ever end? Anyways, it was a fun event. I can't say mushrooms hold a particular interest for me, but I think I may have learned a couple of things. One or two perhaps. The museum didn't cater for the employees, but it did for the volunteers. I did try some bread with mushroom butter at one of the tables and I was surprised that I actually enjoyed it. Enough to eat 5 pieces. Some might think that's selfish, but I would like to say that there was a huge tray FULL of them. The people in charge of the event on the museum's side gave the volunteers an estimate to expect 1200 people. That's about the number of people we get on our second busiest day of the year which is Bug Blast (Dinosaur Day is our biggest day at around 2000 visitors). I think it was a ridiculous estimate to give them being that the event is on a Sunday and also isn't really a children oriented event. We had around 370 attendants. It was because of this retardo estimate that there was so much extra...everything. Food, volunteers, brochures, etc. I just feel bad because they were very misled and wasted a bunch of money. Oh well, more mushroom butter for me!

One of the mushroom volunteers was wearing hammer pants with a mushroom design. I then had to explain to my coworker what hammer pants were. He is Alicia's age and there is a bit of a generation gap between us. I also had to explain to him what MST3K was (Mystery Science Theater 3000) and then had to further explain that the show is much funnier than the description of it would make it seem.

When I got home Reid was obsessively cleaning his car in the driveway. I asked him when he was going to clean my car. No reply. Then he proceeded to spend forever photographing it. More pictures of his car. Gosh that's exciting. All the while the dogs were out in the yard putting on their saddest neglect faces (where they look like they are next in line to be euthanized) and whining because they both had to be on their ropes. BOTH of them are no longer trustworthy to be in the yard without constant supervision. It used to be only Kona. So I decided that since today was actually nice out that I would pay the dogs a bit of efficient attention and used the furminator (special grooming brush) on the doggies out in the yard. Kona really enjoys it and it confuses Zoey. Then Reid and I had sandwiches from Jersey Mikes for dinner. I highly recommend these sandwiches.
