Finally back to a normal schedule. Last week we had to do an overnight reset for Home Decor. This reset went from Sunday to Thursday. Sundays hour's were 8pm-5am and Monday-Thursday we worked 9pm-6am. Which means when I got home I would go to sleep between 8am and noon and wake up between 6pm-8pm to get ready for work. Once the reset was done we had a 3 day weekend which actually seemed like 2 and a half days since I slept a lot on Friday. Saturday I drove down to Williamsburg Va. with Ivy to attend the Advisor's retreat. Most of the day was spent inside the lodge room listening to men talk about how the DeMolay advisors can do better with helping the DeMolay with the ritual and getting the new prospects interested in joining DeMolay.
It wasn't till half way though the meeting that i realized that I had a hole in the crotch of my jeans under the zipper. These were the only pair of pants that I had for the weekend. Though by lunch time at Hooters I didn't care anymore about the hole in my pants, people were too distracted to notice.
I think the Advisor's retreat gave me some great ideas of how I can be a better advisor. Plus I have some new ideas for events and activities to get these guys away from the Wii and xbox. The only problem I'm facing now is because I'm such a young advisor I don't get the same respect the other older advisors get from the DeMolay. Its Sucks!
The only thing I'm looking forward to now is heading up to Jersey July 8th to the 12th. A much needed vacation.
