Breaking Records

Wow!

(drive-by post)

Yesterday I collected 34 eggs!!!!

Way to lay, girls!

Close Call

After all the mix-up with the schedule online,

I had only ONE student this morning at 8:00.

Well, actually, I had one at 7:25.

But he was a student from a year ago.

Just repeating class since he's getting ready to take his state exam next month.

(He has already tried 5 times and Florida just changed the law to only allow

5 tries in a 12 month period...)

So anyway, he's not a "virgin".

Then about 7:50 an actual student showed up.

Then at 8:10 another past student arrived for review purposes.

At 8:30 I called the director.

Explained the situation.

He sighed and said

RUN CLASS.

(company policy is you have to have five virgins to run class....)

But he's a powerful guy and can override policy.

At 10:00 another virgin showed up.

At lunch I sent a text to all the other registered students letting them know we were

missing them at class and inviting them to join us.

One student texted back to expect them Sunday.

But one of my review students called it good.

It's HARD to have such a small class.

Not lots of feed back.

And these poor folks are "front and center" the whole time.

We were all exhausted by the end of the day.

I went to Payless and bought some new shoes.

Forgot to bring them upstairs, so no pictures.

They are comfortable.

I have been wearing the same pair of loafers for

... 3 years?  4 years?  Who knows.

I liked them, so I bought 3 pairs about 5 years ago.

I've put several sets of insoles in them.

But the actual sole split off.

They are done.

After getting the shoes I went to Red Lobster for a

DELISH dinner of Rock Isand Stuffed Tilapia.

YUM!

And now I'm sitting in my fancy living room with my feet

on a pillow on the coffee table.

Updating my blog and watching TV.

And heading to bed.

Enjoy Conference if you get a chance to watch it!

Looking forward to downloading it next week.

How the Other Half Lives

When I checked into my hotel tonight,

they were a little surprised to see me.

Last month I told them I wasn't coming back.

Since I was retiring.

LOL

Anyhow.

To celebrate my return,

they gave me the 

"apartment suite".

I didn't even know they had one.

I feel bad being here all by myself!

And I'm leaving at 7:00 tomorrow morning and

not coming back until 8:30-ish tomorrow night.

And then checking out at 7:00 the next morning.

I could move my class over here...

It even has a little kitchen with a full sized fridge,

stove and microwave!

It's pretty fancy.

I could get used to this.

SPOILED!!!

ACK!

The company I teach for is moving.

They built a fancy new office and are getting ready to transition over there.

Meanwhile, they have switched all the state schools to something called E-Logic.

Well, all the state schools EXCEPT Florida.

Naturally.

E-Logic lets the instructors do all the admin stuff

in real time right there in the classroom.

Which means they have re-assigned all the admin folks 

in the home office who used to do it.

Oh, wait!

Florida still needs admin folks.

So I think they pulled some homeless people off the street.

Everything is messed up.

EVERYTHING.

I just got a text from a Regional Vice President.

Wondering why this weekend's class is cancelled.

So I checked the schedule on the website.

Yup.

Cancelled.

So I phoned the Director.

At home.

At 8:35 pm.

Poor guy.

He always answers the phone when I call.

It's so nice working with someone you can count on.

He was frustrated that it was all messed up.

Again.

But promised to make it right in the morning.

There is not enough money in the world to do his job.

But I'm sure glad he is willing to do it.

April Eggs

April is here.

Spring is here.

I'm hoping this is the month all the girls come on board.

This is 4 dozen eggs.

All washed up and drying on paper towels.

This is the OTHER 4 dozen eggs

still in the sink getting ready to be washed.

And this is the EIGHT DOZEN eggs

all cartoned up and ready to go next door

for sale.

Not bad for 6 days.

May I Brag?

Yes.

Since this is my blog.

Yes, I may.

This morning I got my email with the national standings for our latest contest.

Out of all the insructors in the country, 

I rank

drum roll

SEVENTEEN!!!

Boo Yah.

************************************

Update:
Just double checked.
I'm also
Number
ONE
in the State of Florida.
Nifty!

EGGS!

The first set of 20 chickens are nearly all on board.

Today we set a new record of 

TWENTY THREE EGGS!

Cute basket, eh?

That's a lot of eggs!

Maybe in a couple of weeks, we'll be getting double that.

But for now, I'm happy!
