Nerd Alert!


I l-o-v-e my job! I’m an office assistant, and it is wonderful. I love office supplies and faxing and organizing and processing payments and scanning documents and transferring calls and managing projects. I get giddy when our orders from Office Depot come in… it’s like opening a Christmas present!



   

Part of my job is problem-solving.
“I can’t remember my account password!” I gotcha covered.
“I accidentally charged $600 to my credit card instead of $100…help!” No problem.
“I need postage for this package.” Gimme.
“I just got a call from this number; do you know who tried to call me?” Any 1 of about 35 people. This one I still don’t know how to handle, because some people just aren’t very bright. That phone call and the email “can I sign my kids up for camp?” are the ones that make me think, really?

All that to say, I do so love my job!

celebrate the season


The leaves have turned and are falling.  The sky is grayer.  The air is crispier.  
I am so very ready and excited for this time of change! 
This fall/winter time gives me a sense of stripping life of the old and the clutter, and snuggling up with just the bare necessities. I have what I need, and I have it in great quantity. 
I have a family, a home, food, and friends. I have love and I have laughter. 
I want to bundle up in a big sweater (which, by the way, I would live in every day of my life if I could), grab a mug of coffee, and just quietly celebrate the joys of this season.
