My vacation was last week, which was nice to get away from the farm for a few days.
However, my return was not so good. It's so frustrating that they make a schedule and tell you what you're supposed to be doing, and when you come back the boss' are gone and one of the other interns (my least favorite) is telling me what to do. I got back Friday night and they weren't supposed to leave until Saturday afternoon. I understand plans change, but I do carry a cell phone. It's just extremely frustrating. I have so many milking times its not even funny. I think there are only three times where I'm not milking the whole time they're gone. Ugh.
I can't wait to be done. Another thing that has bothered me is their lack of planning about this trip. It's like they ruminated over the schedule and changed it so many times, but they left things undone like the cleaning of their house (which Max had to do), and the ordering of flour so bread and scones can be made, and not getting more cream so we can do the baking. And the feed also came today which NONE of us knew about or where to put it.
Oh well... I've only got a few more weeks here, but after being here and doing everything for them while they're gone will make it much harder to go back to work for them when they come back. I don't like it when they supervise me and tell me what to do because I can think and figure stuff out myself. I guess I think a part of this internship is learning how NOT to manage people also.
Don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I'm just counting down the hours... Only 112.25 left to go which shouldn't take much time at all with the amount of time I've been working and the hours I will be working to come. It's so exciting! That's all for now!
