Well, with the slow season quickly approaching I have already noticed a decline in the amount of hours I am working. Which is very unfortunate, however it gave me the opportunity to find another part time job. Lindsay told me about this agency that hires you to "work behind the scenes" for busy professionals and families.. We do the easy every day things that they can't seem to fit into their busy schedule. So I decided to apply, the very next day I heard back from the agency and scheduled the interview. Now this business is such a smart idea, it just makes so much sense! I mean when you are working hard to excel in a particular career who has time to do grocery shopping, or send out Christmas letters or dust the living room and file the receipts from utility bills! The very next day after my interview... I got a call at 8 in the morning asking if I could work that day! So now, I am a personal assistant for a very busy single mother. Thursday's I go in and help her with the basic filing, organizing , and in putting information into her PDA. Then on Friday's I will be helping here with the light cleaning. She gets all her laundry done at a Wash-n-Fold type place. I pick up the wash, put it all away, vacuum the house, mop the kitchen, clean up any plates from breakfast, give the place a good wipe down. Help organize the apartment since they are just closing on a Condo and will be moving soon. And man is this woman busy! She wakes up at 5 every morning, and starts with the conference calls.. she works for cisco systems as well as manages her own business! She spends lots of time on the phone and on her computer. She had a 3 hr conference call this morning about something I couldn't understand. She is always on the move doing something, having something planned. She has a 17 year old son who is currently going to Monterey Peninsula College, and working on an art degree as well as a science degree, he wants to go into medicine. Smart kid! I feel like I could learn a lot from this woman.
Heck, she already taught me how to use Quicken! What a life saver!!! Nathan and I decided to purchase the software that way we could manage our money more effectively. We got it today! I know what I will be doing when I get home from work today :D
Nathan, the lucky boy gets a four day weekend, and I get to work all weekend.. Go Figure! But, I am so thankful for the extra 10 hrs I racked in this week thanks to the Girl Friday Agency (http://girlfridayagencies.com/) If anyone wants to go take a peek ( gosh that sounds like an escort service..but it is not!) Oh and today was pay day! woo hoo! so far its been a good day all around.. unlike yesterday.
I came home on tuesday to find that the brand new bag of chocolate Halloween candy we bought on the floor. I pick it up to put it away and realize that its... only half full... well that's weird..But Nathan does eat candy quite quickly so i figured I would wait until he comes home and ask him about the candy... I find out that Nathan didn't eat any of that chocolate because he ate an ENTIRE box of Turtles by himself. Which means, Echo ate the chocolate. OH DEAR!!!! Yesterday morning, he was acting really really really weird.. and so i run and grab the leash, hook it on him, run into the bedroom to find some shoes..and i hear this odd sound from the hallway. I look out the door and it looked like Echo's butt had exploded. There was diarrhoea EVERYWHERE in that hallway... I was not a happy puppy mommy. So i got to spend the next hour cleaning up the mess, and then disinfecting everything and then i had to head off to work my new job! What a long day that was.. Luckily.. I seemed to make Nathan's class's day by sending him a text that read "Echo's ass exploded in the hallway". I wasn't laughing..but they got a good laugh :P But he is back to being his perky self now that all the chocolate is out of his system. He also puked up all the wrappers in his Kennel.. we found that this morning. What a special puppy Echo is.
Sorry if that was too much information for some of you, but I had to share the story
Take care!
