One of
the hardest tasks in life to do is write about yourself. For
example, you don't want to come off as arrogant, but at the same time
you don't want to not give yourself enough credit... So with that being
said I'll start off by saying " Hi...My name is Michaela...and it is
neat!" On average I will have more fun in one day than you will in your
entire life (that is, unless you work with me)..... I'm actually quite
conceited and I let everyone on the job know that " I make the
job...without me...It would be nothing!"... I guess you could say I’m
the “jokester” of the group…I always have my iPod in one ear and
occasionally find myself singing and dancing interpretively while in
the middle of a sea of knapweed … while on the road I like to sit in
the back and poke my head in the front between Breann and Nelson and
make up new hand movements to the current song we happen to be
listening to at the time… Since this job I no longer look at
the road while driving…my attention is now turned elsewhere...the
fields lining the road… I’ve been known to stop the car, jump out, and
start pulling looking for signs of any insect infestation in the roots…
with all truth being known…I love my job!...I feel that I shouldn’t get
paided for it… The work day consists of eight hours of weeds, laughter,
and insects…what a perfect combination… Nelson, Breann, and myself
probably have the best bosses that anyone could ask for… Mr.
Breitenfeldt and Mr. Battaiola are both extremely relaxed/ intelligent/
witty… I think if truth be known they would admit we are their favorite
“crew”..but shhhh...we don’t want the other’s feelings to be hurt…
