Tell us about your summer reinventions
Summer makes me restless: There’s so much I want to do and see now that the cold, soggy, rainy weather doesn’t make me want to curl up indoors all day and stay in bed. But that restless, excitable summer feeling reminds me of another, more irrational urge I’ve gotten a few times in my life, especially when I was in school: the feeling of wanting to come back from the summer a totally new person.
But I digress—the impulse to change oneself is one that can spring itself on you unexpectedly and seemingly without rhyme or reason. And it can lead to some pretty poorly thought-out or disastrous lifestyle changes, like getting a nose ring , telling yourself you’re only going to wear hoop earrings and fitted culottes now, or maybe committing to speaking in an accent and pretending like that’s just the way you’ve been all along. Sometimes these are fine and sometimes they blow up in your face.
Now let’s look at the best answers from last week’s question , which was about your most grueling summer jobs.I have horrible memories of working in a milk bottling factory one summer as a teenager. Hours screwing caps onto bottles; pushing carts, empty and full, up and down the factory; loading and emptying trucks. All in a half inch of watered down milk, the building built on a slight slope so that everything washes away. It put me off milk for months after, especially the smell.
It took me 6 weeks when it was supposed to take 4 months. I then had to try and figure out how to look busy in a half-height cubicle for over two and a half months.It was the Yogi bear themed campground from hell, circa 1991. The late spring work consisted of raking, raking, and then more palm-blistering back-splitting raking. Once the weather warmed and the campers arrived there were fun activities like luaus, limbo contests, live bands, and hay rides... but not for me.
This was long enough ago that an accidental needle stick meant a trip to the hospital for a tetanus booster instead of months of panic at the possibility of exposure to HIV or hepatitis .
