The company I sorta, kinda work for (don’t work for them directly) organized for all of its many (thousands) of employees to plant flowers, shrubs, and trees at various sites around Indinapolis. Employees were encouraged to attend this “Day of Service” to help beautify the community. I decided to give it a try along with my coworkers.
some crap cell phone pics.
After 4 hours of planting plants at an interstate onramp in Indy, I was quite sunburned and ready to pass out. I’m a system administrator that normally sits in front of a computer 10+ hours a day… >_< Ah well, it was good exercise and it was nice to be able to improve the community a bit ^^
The area was near the airport so it would be one of the first things visitors see.
Going to sleep well tonight ^^;
So… by ‘encouraged’ do you mean forced? 8D
No, it was definitely optional =P
Wow. Thats gotta be boring.

It was different but was nice to be be doing something helpful.
Well one thing I’ve learned from doing that kind of work around our property is to always wear a hat and drink lots of water.
Good to see that even in these tough economic times that companies are still trying to make the community that they are in a better place.

I didn’t wear a hat (I needed a bit of a tan anyway ;)), but I did drink lots of water. Was a very sunny day and got pretty hot.
It’s a pity our company doesn’t organise any community services where we can give back to the community. I guess, working in a radiology company, keeping hospital systems alive is already saving lives.
