The Adventures of Paisley
Blue
At work this week I was trained on another
system. I am now able to do any task available, and unlike
some of my co-workers, I enjoy working all three systems. Now
I can understand why some folks would rather work one over the
other two. After all, in the time I was working on that
particular task, I was able to finish two books. It is a
little more demanding to be actually on the phones, selling
and looking up information, but I love that interaction with
the customers. When I arrive for work, I ask the supervisors
where they would like me to work. In other words, I don't ask
or demand anything in particular. So far they have told me
that they love my attitude.
I have also been spending
as much time with CB as possible, enjoying every moment
together. He's so amusing and fun to talk with, in addition to
being so good-looking! For the last two nights, we have played
dominoes. The first night, I beat him by 85 points, but last
night he spanked me, with a margin of over 100 points. He
taught me to play, so for me it was a big achievement to beat
him. Let's just say it hasn't happened all that often.
Apparently last night about the time I was getting off
work, a SWAT raid was being made on the third floor of my
building. When I arrived, the cops were still cleaning up, but
they did allow me to go inside. They used a battering ram to
open the door of the hotel room/apartment they raided. This
morning the splintered remains of the door were in the
dumpster. I'm glad I was not there when it went down. I could
just picture myself curled up in a corner, wondering what the
heck was going on. There would have been no way I would have
investigated, either. I'm sure they were loud enough, though,
and I would have heard that infamous yell, "Freeze! Police!"
Sometimes I wonder what lessons I am supposed to be
learning at this time in my life. Never would I have imagined
that I would be in this situation. Still, I admit that there
are new things to see and hear everyday. I am trying to stay
open to learning, so hopefully I can progress onto another
stage of my life. Perhaps that will include an apartment with
my own bathroom and a full kitchen. A window that looks out
onto something other than another building would be nice, too.
Ah, well, I am alive and safe and sleep in a warm, dry bed at
night, so I am happy.
