Hello World,
I’ve started a little part time/temporary job. It is with:
It is with Phil and Esther Flannery. Phil put a post on FB and asked if anyone would like to help him for a month. So I responded. It’s nice working with them. I’m trying to learn the scheduling system. It is pretty user friendly. I really like it. Just up my alley. Esther is a great teacher. The program is really great. It’s difficult because I don’t know the customers and their likes and dislikes and habits. I’m trying to get the FB page on my FB feed, but I can’t seem to do that this morning. I’ll ask Esther to invite me to the page and I guess that is how to do it. Yesterday I sent out emails that had the right DAY on it but the wrong DATE. I’m going to have to be more careful. I’ve made a list of phone numbers for the schedule on TUESDAY so I can begin to make calls. They gave me a “throw away phone” to use to make the calls. Texting from it is difficult. It seems that perhaps Richard should have a couple of more calls today. I’ll call Esther after the 8AM meeting. There are a couple of emails also. Anyway, I’m pretty excited about doing this job. I hope it becomes full time – which is 2 to 3 hours a day 5 days a week. I can do it between meetings. I think Esther wants to give it up now because she has grand kids she wants to spend time with. I’m looking forward to working with them. I hope they’ll like me.
I’m now working with 4 sponsees. Haven, Diana, Barbara and Jayne. That is a lot. But I think it will be fine now that I’m not working full time. It helps me to stay sober. That is good too. Next Sunday is a workshop and a Chili Cook Off down on Marco. The Grapevine will put up the display. I’ll pack up the car and drive to church as I’m setting up & greeting. Plus I’m planning to make that great chili from Weight Watchers. Speaking of Weight Watchers – I’ve lost 7 pounds. I love the app. Yesterday I ate more at the monthly breakfast than I should have, but the frittata was amazing and also the potatoes. But I skipped lunch and had a tuna wrap for dinner. The wrap I’ve found (through WW) is a great way to make a sandwich. I can still eat the Turkey Bites (2 points for 6 of them). I’m looking for “0” point things. I can have celery and radishes. Also, Bing cherries are in season and they are “0” points for a CUP. So I eat those a lot when I need just to munch on something. Also WW popcorn is pretty good. Rice Cakes are good too – kind of like popcorn without the issue of kernels in the teeth.
Well that is about all for now. I may come back later as I am needed a little journaling and this works for me. Thanks for visiting!
