back to reality
Or rather, back at work. After 3 hellish weeks of vacation spent about worrying how to demolish the old garage, how to get rid of the debris, how to fix new floor for the new one and trying to keep up with cleaning up the place at the burned cabin, I made almost as many phone calls as when I work, except none of them were fun. Gettin a permit for this, finding out what are my rights, phoning police to find out where the case is at, pah, but now i have a plan. A plan to rebuild next year, most of the problems have been solved and so I can put this behind me, along with my vacation. I took officially two days of vacation during that time. One to go at a water park that I love, spent the day playing in the wave pool and other rides. It's one of the rare places I can truly let go, forget things and just enjoy the water. The other, well ok 3 all together, i've had ordered some books on amazon.ca and they finally came in. Too bad they didn't come in earlier, it's also been raining and cold almost the whole time, so not much opportunity to have fun frankly. How ever raining and cold are perfect reading weather, which I did once I finally got my hands on my books. I can recommand City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, a nice read really and it's a trilogy I think, so, can't wait for the others. I would make a nice tv serie I think :) The other one I had time to read, Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, a dark tale about wicked fearies, evil and cruel and humans falling for them, not bad either!
So this morning, with a much ligher heart, I went back to work. I missed it, I truly missed it. We had a sad news altho we were expecting it any time now: one of our coworker (the youngest girl, she's barely 25) lost her mother to cancer today. It was a terrible fight she could not win, same kind of cancer as my mom and her too suffered a great deal and thankfully today, it was over. I offered my coworker friend my help, like me she's a single child and her dad is not taking the news well, which means...much rough time ahead where ppl will expect too much of her. Boss phoned today, told him his curtains were ready, he had asked me for some the very week I started but I never had time to make them, took saturday afternoon. Figured I own him, he paid for my whole vacation, full 5 days a week too when actually our schedule for summer is only from monday to thursday, so,sweet of him. He was happy, said he's very busy all week tho, we probably wont see much of him this week, too bad, I miss him too. But it feels good to be back at work, I feel good there, I feel useful or worthy, something like that. While I was gone, they said they had a lot of English customers which means only one thing : the ppl i've reached have started doing business with us. Today, I noticed half our calls were in English which means about half our business atm are the customers i've recruited. I feel very good about that, like, what I did mattered, we're building something here, it is working too. Well, that's all folks, back to the windmill with a big smile!
