The first week on the temp job is now over. I think I did OK. I hope they think I did OK. They are a nonprofit organization that runs programs to maintain quality of child care centers. As I learned my job, when I would ask a question the most common response started with “Really good question…” and then they answered the question. A technique that reinforced the ideas conveyed.
The big retail chain did not schedule me for today. The first Saturday I have had off (without asking for it) since I started. I thought at first they were getting ready to weed out any of the unnecessary staff since the holidays are over. Or the new store manager wants his own people… All the worries that go with the change of routine flooded my brain.
On Thursday, the plastic arrived early. It seems I was worried for nothing. God worked in his mysterious ways again. I cut the plastic from dry wall size down to about notebook paper size before I can take it to the die cutter. That’s what I did all day today. I got about a third of it done. That’s enough to take to the die cutter for the sizes I need to fill backorders.
