Feast or Famine

Seems like suddenly life has hit the FAST lane.

On Tuesday, when Kyle had a migraine,

I took him to the store with me,

and then we stopped by the Town Hall

so I could drop off my latest typing

project and the invoice.

While there, Debby (Town Clerk)

told me Dorothy, secty

is going to be out starting Wednesday

and running through the following

Wednesday. Would I be interested

in covering for her???

Sounded like fun.

They had a "small project"

I could do while I was there...

Dorothy only works part time

and Deb said she know I have a lot

of stuff going on, I could pick my

own hours. Mostly they just needed

somebody to answer the phones

so they didn't have to keep

interrupting what they were doing.

I said Sure!

Wed. morning bright and early,

ok, 10:30 (hahaha) I showed up

at Town Hall.  (Hey! I have stuff 

to DO in the mornings...)

Deb showed me how to use the

phones and left me to it.

They have two bookshelves there in

the front office (first thing citizens see

when they visit) that looks like a mish mash

of three ring binders.

Deb is a little OCD and really likes

things to be uniform, neat, tidy and 

easy for everyone to use.

We ordered a bunch more white binders,

I made up a master so all the spines look

the same, and made a front cover sheet

for all of them.

(Terrible picture... the town logo is 

under that glare...)

It looks a TON better now!

I worked on that all day Wed,

but ran out of books after only two shelves.

Deb gave me some typing

to do for her. (She said she would pay

both hourly to have me in the office

AND my regular "per page" rate for any

typing she had me do...)

The new books came in after lunch,

so it was back to the books.

This morning I took all the books off the

shelves and rearranged them giving us

an extra shelf to store more items.

And then I did some more typing.

I'm going back again next week for

a couple of days.

Nobody is quite sure when Dorothy is

coming back, maybe Wednesday?

Maybe Thursday?

We'll see.

I finished the first shelf.

I have another box of books and

a full bookshelf left to work on.

And there is ALWAYS more typing.

Meanwhile,

I'm having FUN.

And it's temporary.

(I'm typing this from my hotel bed,

while watching the finale of
Master Chef Junior.)

I'm training another instructor this

weekend on the new eRoster system...

Hopefully it all goes smoothly.

Normally they have an instructor do a

class with a mentor (what I did in Miami)

and then run a class on their own,

and THEN move on to training another

instructor. But we skipped the middle step.

I was sure I could do it.

Hope I was right!

engraved words "What If You Could?")
