"Working" This Week

I got a phone call on Friday

asking if I could work down at

Town Hall again this week.

The secretary was going to be out

for this entire week.

She would only need me from 10 - 2.

Sure!

I got there about 10:00 on Monday morning

and Deb (the Town Treasurer) said she forgot

that Matt, her assistant was also out

for the week and could I work a little

longer each day than we had originally planned.

Yesterday I worked from 10-4.

Work being a relative term.

Last time they had a big project 

for me to do.

This time I have been answering the phones.

They ring a couple times each hour.

Maybe.

I made some changes on a town resolution

in preparation for the town council meeting

Monday night. That took 2 minutes.

And I made a run to Chick-Fil-A for

everybody at lunch time.

Other than that - I read a book.

Today I got there at 10 again and the Town

Administrator said "Oh good! You are here!

I have a big project for you!"

Yea! I'd way rather be busy.

Turns out his big project was xeroxing

a large personnel file for an attorney

up in Orlando. It took 20 minutes.

Then he needed it mailed.

So I hopped in my truck (I drove our old

Isuzu Trooper today just for fun)

and went up the road to the Post Office

and mailed it for him.

As long as I was only 2 blocks from my house,

I stopped by and wrote a check for my farrier

who decided to change my Thursday appointment

to today. He just lets himself into the property.

The horses all know that when you open the

gate into the barn, they are supposed to go

stand in their own stalls.

It's pretty easy.

I just leave his check under a magnet on a 

metal filing cabinet we have out there.

There was a LOW flying helicopter buzzing

our property, so when I got back to Town Hall

I asked them about it. The Town Fire Chief

happened to be there and he said it was

mosquito control, dropping pellets.

Weird!

But glad they are doing something

about all the mosquitoes!

Hope it works!

I spent the rest of the day reading 

a book and listening to the roof 

sounding like it was going to cave

in on me.

We had a roofing crew there yesterday

and today putting a new roof on Town Hall.

It's an OLD building.

About 3:30 Deb came and told me she

was leaving for the day to take her dog

to the vet. Then Denine, the Building Dept

manager came by to tell me Doug (the Town

Administrator) wanted to shut down and send

everybody home because the smell of the 

roof tar was giving him a headache.

Since Deb, Denine and Doug are the only people

there, if they leave, I need to leave too!

About that time, Daryl dropped by.

He's the Code Inspector.

Incidentally, the lady I'm covering for is

DOROTHY!

Yup.

Debby, Denine, Dorothy, Doug & Daryl.

I could never work there full time.

Unless I changed my name to...

Delila?

Hahahahahaha

Anyhow.

I'm back there again tomorrow.

I've downloaded a couple of new books

to my Kindle, since its unlikely they will

have anything for me to do again.

Deb said she thought of a great project

for me, but when she got to the office

this morning, she couldn't remember what it was.

Maybe she'll remember tomorrow.

Anyhow.

That's what I've been doing this week.

Hope you have been more productive 

than I have!

Have a great Wednesday!
