Just a few notes to start Thursday ... keep going bunny!

Good morning. This is us again … we’re at work, but we got here a half hour late. It is now 8:30 am though so we’re not too far behind the game. For the record we talked to Sweetie Pie for a few moments through IM … He pushed a little harder the weighing in part. Officially now he is still up in his weight, but we are almost 34 pounds heavier than him. It’s pretty discouraging, but we’re going to put that on hold right now. Hopefully, it will weigh in when we talk to Dr. Marvin later this evening. I don’t want to get lost in that now during work time. We need to do some focusing.

It is an overcast day here in Chicago. Windshields wet, but not raining now. I slept in this morning in that I woke up at 4:30 am … decided to go back to bed and slept until about 6:30, and then fell back to sleep again until a few minutes after 7 am. Just couldn’t wake up. We sent an email to Sr. to tell her we’d be on our way. I have to do better at getting to bed on time. It’s really being havoc on the other end of the sleep period.

Ok, back from the washroom. Feeling a little sore and achy. We need to move on, right?

Ok, let’s focus on work. We must have been working yesterday, because there is stuff all over the place. For some reason, we put the two computers on the same computer desk. So, we are looking at two screens. That’s kinda cool. I’ll have to figure out why. We’ve got also on this desk an open book on a report for environmental health and safety and that’s resting on a stack of stuff sister looked at. I’m almost afraid to look at the other desk. Let me turn around and peek.

Ok, that wasn’t too bad … there was a folder open from something we’d worked on yesterday … we have to trust we’ll find that again when the time is right. We put it away for now and cleared up a few things over there. It looks like our in-box is pretty low and there wasn’t much mail today … so, we are ok with that. It seems that we were pretty much over at this desk. Need to figure out what we were working on.

OK, We wend down a couple more layers. We’re on page 4 of our written requirements page. There are 9 pages we have to sort out all together. Mostly it’s a matter of filling in reports and policies and procedures. The last one not checked off was writing a critical incident analysis. I think we did something in that, but didn’t finish .. it’s probably in our Word files, let me look.

Ok, that looks good I have a report that’s titled that about 3 pages long. And there is something I’m remembering now in that we did something for bio-hazard procedures. We’re going to say that’s for staff training and fit it in that way. Ok, closed some extra windows that were open and not very useful. I think a good part of the morning yesterday went in to taking care of the pictures from Spring Fling. I think I’m totally done with my part of that now. I passed on the extra pictures Sr. wanted to the secretary, so if she needs prints, Sister can go through her. I did save the entire set to Sr.s computer too so they are accessible. Ok, lets not think of that picture project now.

Usually on Thursday mornings we do the goals for the first group, but there is a rush job where the clients are putting police batons in a bag, labeling it, and then heat sealing it. So, they are too busy. Meetings for today and tomorrow are also canceled because the job has to be complete by tomorrow … I think there are about 500 of them. WooHOO! They get paid this week!

That should free up these two days to getting something done. Ok, what seems to be next? Let’s read over that analysis report to see where we are at.

Woo Hoo … It’s the end of the day and we’re heading out the door. Need to just get this switched over. We seemed to stay focused on CARF with the exception of time taken out to talk to a woman who volunteers at the center once a month. We talked about the program her daughter is now in. After that we went straight into a meeting with the staff on Basic Investigative skills. And, we had a meeting with a DSP, but otherwise we were working on CARF. We’re enjoying for the time being two computers over on this desk. It’s kinda fun and clears up working space over on my regular desk. SOOO … going to post AND THEN!!! Dr. MARVIN!!!
