I start a summer job with the park service Monday * 8
    #27763657 - 05/04/22 10:26 PM (1 year, 8 months ago)

Hey y'all. I haven't been here as much, life be hard, and I needed some recovery time for real.

I quit my cushy office job in July. And it helped alot. Fuck those people. Fuck their standards. Fuck being at a computer for 12 hours a day.

Haven't known what to do. I just..
Hate everything and didn't want to get sucked back into being used by another soulless corporation.


Y'all might know I've struggled with alot of health issues too. But how I've kept myself sane the last two years is by constructing my house and maintaining a collective of three acres of land. 60 acres when including my parents purchase in September.

I'm perhaps fitter than I've been in the entirety of my adult life. Not great by any means but bro I have a muscle tone. I can do things without almost passing out. It's fucking legit.

So this... It'll be a challenge and a test. But I love our state parks. I love nature. I love caring for it. And I enjoy making things lovely and enjoyable for others.

My body is in question but my mind is not. I want this. If I pass the test... It'll be a good sign for what I can take on in the future. Maybe I can find a permanent role in the department of recreation and conservation.


The job role is basically groundskeeper. Cutting grass, landscaping, cleaning bathrooms. Which doesn't sound exciting but like I've said before if you're the janitor of a space ship do you really care that you're a janitor?


Who knows what's in store for the summer but for the first time in a long time I look forward to finding out.

Absolutely. I'm quite familiar with the park and know the best spots for photos and critter spotting.

And rock hounding :wink:

I used to be a huge evanescence fan. Like I think Amy Lee is the only celebrity crush I've ever had. Inspired a good part of my life.

So I guess it's an appropriate song to open up another chapter of my life.

Well if you see anything out of the ordinary.  Please post it.  My late Grandfather, world war 2 vet and died of natural causes, was a park ranger awhile and I wish while I he was still alive I could of asked him a lot about his experience. 

His time in the military was all math and giving it to the higher ups for artillery shelling behind a desk with respect.  I just hate math except the very basic that is useful in my own life.

So yeah, if you some weird shit as am an avid outdoorsman please post it.  BUT ONLY IF THEY LET YOU!  Some scary shit going on for those that believe in such.  Wonder what your employee contract was like to sign.  If so forget it, if not, share it.  They put it in there to not scare away tourists, the tennis shoes ones.  Yet some weird shit is going on in some out of the way places.  Everyone can make their own decisions but would like to hear your experiences.

And don't compare it to a tour of duty with the military.  They take great offense at that and I get why.  May you die a horrible death at the hands of a skinwalker or bigfoot.  Just a joke.

I'm no stranger to weird shit in the woods. But my thing is to leave it alone.

Bigfoot scared the shit out of me and I left the place I was trespassing on. It's their home, I'm just a visitor.

I try not to disturb wildlife with my photos and I'll do the same for Bigfoot.

Ghosts, aliens, chupacabras, bears, skunks... You leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. If you want me to leave then I will leave fam.


If I encounter robot grandma I probably won't be posting about it.

They tell the park rangers to say nothing when they do see shit so not worried about that.  Get your paycheck.  Just makes me laugh some that have seen some really weird shit and they just say, say nothing about this.  Will hurt tourism.

From Utah.  Visit Skinwalker ranch sometime and tell me what you see.  Would be interested if they have a non-disclosure agreement with your new job.  And we all love you at the shroomery.  That goes without saying.

Not a fearmonger.  I hope the best in your new job.:murray:

Was on the PCT years ago and I can usually process my fear and let it go.  But this was unrelenting as I set up by some trees and kept hearing this rustling in it.  I couldn't escape the fear and it was hell.  No great story to tell but I could of picked a better spot.

Seriously they tell you if one see's something out of the normal to say nothing about it.  You will learn.

First day was pretty good. Boring cuz all the safety videos and shit but good. I think my uniform is a touch too big but I teared up a bit when I put it on and looked at that "department of conservation" patch.


I'm excited to learn how to clean bathrooms tomorrow.
