Needed Blog help focusing at Work Today - Got through it though!

Good morning. This is us. We have to figure things out … we’re strayed and not sure what to do. We know we have to focus on CARF, but … we’re just sitting here confused trying to get together our office situation. We are listening to 60’s music. Theoretically, this is the stuff we should have heard when we were in our first through tenth year. This is our first time over here with this set-up. We figured out how to make the screen come in more clear through changing the Dpi. We reordered the regular screen so the pictures of my Grandchildren were in their proper place. Then we set up our AOL screen. Next was to get the video working. To Frame in as we wanted to and because the screen is sitting so high, we needed to change the depth a little to be facing down. I have to either get used to it now or change it. I have to think of the intern, but that will happen later. We have to first see what we are going to want to live with. The Word program over on the laptop in the background has become unstable.

Hmm, that was interesting … One of our co-workers was just in … she used the stuff for her hands and asked about voting. She knew even less about voting then us. At least I knew I was a Democrat. There was a little discussion between intern, her and us. Our recommendation was to vote the Democratic ticket. Had to tell her we aren’t registered. Shoot, that is always not so good. I would like to vote two years from now. Be nice to see our Senator going for President. Go OBAMA!!!

Ok, seriously, we are going to try talking ourselves into work. First thing we gotta do is what? Hmm. We need to find something we can concentrate on for the rest of the day. Hmm, ok, didn’t get very far there. We just rearranged our screen a little bit. Wanted to have our blog open. Shoot, did we take our medicine this morning. Only thing that we could fit on the screen was the date and the title of our small entry this morning. Hmm, that’s something though, right? We’re trying to get the sense of movement happening. Ok, breath in … out. Couple more times. We’re going to do this. We need to reorient ourselves to this side of the room. We’ve got our music, but need to turn off the ear phones, to get the video I think. That should be tested at the two hour mark. Dear … “tan my hide when I’m dead, Fred.” It’s the silly song. Shoot, we got to focus here. I know I’ve gone through this before. We just focused the camera. I don’t know who that person is that I’m seeing. She better get busy though. It’s 9:30 am now. Our friend is coming in this morning supposedly. Probably something else came up.

How about something easy? We could do something with the incident book and then get it back up front. Ok, ok … why don’t we try that. Just gotta reach back for it. Ok, got the book. What next. We put some papers up on top of that shelf of folders. *Sigh* Ok, we didn’t really know what to do with that. But, I got the water we’re supposed to be drinking. And, I got the incident book. I think I’ve gotta do something with it. We are supposed to make some kind of report. I think the date, the name, what the incident was and What was done to correct the incident. Hmm, just took care of something for a peer, or at least steered her in the right direction. Ok, concentrate. Probably, should get out a fresh Word doc. Ok, we can do that, but it will mess with my screen … oh … we still gotta do it. Shoot, hold on.

Ok, ok  We’re doing better. We’re actually working, but I need to use the washroom and have a grapefruit break. It is now quarter to 11. Feeling much better about this. Better not stray too far. Doing good 

Ok … we’re back. We opened the shades and turned on a new station. We’re now listening to lite vocal pop … like the first song is Johnny Mathis. This is some of the older stuff from the late 50’s and early 60’s … so, we’ll think of this as what was played from 0-5 years old. That is if my mother would have turned on the radio. I think she was a TV watcher. She was all tuned into the soap operas. UGH.

It’ll work for a little while. So far the work project is going alright. We’re following through and up to the end of November. Ok, better get back to it … broverhere

Hmm… somehow time has passed and it is now 1 pm. I’m not sure of all that has happened, but in general, our friend is here now, we’re working on other music as a backup. We’ve eaten well and it is time to buckle under. We were told that our intern didn’t finish the goals part of the meeting yesterday, so we talked to the client and will talk with her DSP at 2 pm. Good … set the timer. Now 11 minutes, now 17 minutes, Damn 1:32 …time keeps going and I don’t seem to be holding on to it. I’m going to need to do some stuff … like NOW!

Step #1: Lupe will compare the prices of five items from aisle 2 (meat)
A: First page
Here just hold this for a second, k?

Thanks. We’ll catch that later. We had to interrupt ourselves and complete three goals with the DSP and then write it up in a report format. Pretty easy … just a couple of sentences each.

Ok, We’re up to June for our other report and it is already 3:41. Think we could tidy that up? We thought we were going to for the year plus this year, but we decided that we’re too close to our time period for going home. I think our friend has other stuff to do, but we need to stop by and pick up some fruit and veggies. Need to remember the $10. Shoot just at the beginning of June and there are a lot of entries. We better get straight to it.

Ok, just over here 

Ok, ok … good … got that report done finally. It was a long one. I think we’re leaving early now. We need to pick up medicine for aching tooth and fruit/vegetables.
