Goals for Berry Season…
I’m away from home now, living at the berry farm I work at with my mother. I will stop and tell you right now that WE DO NOT PICk THE FRUIT. We do everything we can to avoid touching the fruit at all costs, and it only really touches us when angered customers aim well in our direction. We are in management, us Berry Babes, and as managers we do things lie laze about in the sun drinking Ice Caps while the pickers sweat in the sun and the customers look on.
I feel that goals are very important and as such, I’ve developed a list of them to aspire to.
1) Don’t get hives.
2) Don’t get a bad case of Athlete’s foot. (My boss has informed me that breaking out in any sort of distasteful rash this year will result in my termination. I’m not sure that its legal, but its probably for the best that I don’t test her when fruit rot is threatening because of the muggy weather)
3) Don’t be the first to cry.
4) Save my first screaming, crying, hives inducing fit for when the thirteen year old Berry Girl and he best friend are not in front of me.
5) Sleep well, and sleep every night.
6) Gain fifteen pounds, all from consuming Ice Caps and chips in the hot sun

Those are good goals! I hope that you’re especially successful with goal 5.
