12-09-22 A complicated day
I loved the advent gift today… Bath Caviar! Can’t wait to make time to try it for a pamper
Was another complicated phone day at work but I struggled through the connection issues and got most of the CCT books entered to date and bills paid for other clients before my google meet with the new treasurer. I had to check my attitude and learn the new restrictions to my position. What I do know is that the scope of service has changed and I will need to address that soon. When I am doing a file for a deep discount it can’t take more time than I have away from paying clients, nor from my evening time which I am fiercely protecting from using for bookkeeping. I hope we come to a place that works well for all of us but know I will have to bow out gracefully, if not. One of my Arby’s co-workers, the owners son, felt unwell and I saw just after 4 that he had put up his shift of 5-7:30 for coverage. I raced home to give my neighbour her ticket to the game and told her I would meet her there and headed to work. As it turns out they were well staffed so I hung and visited with R-A and Ash for a while before trading a but of dish washing for a Crispy Chicken sandwich. I also agreed to take a split shift tomorrow and work from 11-2 for a young man who is going out of town for the weekend. I am already covering Gene’s shift 5-9:30. This would feel like a lot if it weren’t for the fact that I do get my tank filled knowing I am helping out and meeting so many great people. Rae-Anne pointed out to me that I get the same joy from this job that I do volunteering at Key City, but I also get paid. She is right!
I raced home to eat my chicken sandwich and then grabbed Tracey to head to the Bucks game. It was a fast and full of action game with the added fun of the Therapeutic Paws ball throw. The dogs are so cute running around on the ice and the young girl in front of us won first place prize which was a huge basket of dog toys.
I have to note that one of the things that made me happy today was to see my Ashlée happy. She has a new beau, Chris and it seems to have put a bounce in her step.
