Why do we fear? I really like working with Johny O. and Aaron but I am having issues with heights. I can get on ladders and have even walked on walls. But when I got on the roof of the garage I got scared. Honestly, I wasn't scared because of the hieght of it. I was more scared because I couldn't get good footing. I think my boots have crappy soles on them. The slope wasn't too extreme up there but it was wet from snow and my feet kept flipping. I just stayed on the skidplate until I could get to the ladder to get down. Johny O. had to be there on the ladder to keep me from skidding off the roof. I couldn't get traction with my freakin' boots. It frustrated me to no end. It made me very nervous b/c I couldn't trust my footing. It's not like I wasn't trying. I got up there. I was on the roof. I attempted several times to walk up there. But I just kept sliding. And since we've been doing mostly roof work since I've started I haven't been able to do much to help. I've done most of the cutting on the ground and then I hand them the pieces.

I need to open a new bank account. I thought my current bank was a national branch kind-of-deal, but there are none up here. I can't open a new account until I get my first check. Until then all I can do for money is use my checkcard as a creditcard. Because the checkcard is out-of-state I can't use it at any of the ATM's. No cash, just charges. Too bad no-one accepts credit where I play poker.
