The 5oz Foodie

So Sammi is getting very close to her due date. Her little tummy is getting rounder and she is becoming more attached to us everyday. She is even dares to go near the Queen bee, Belle. Mom started out letting her in the house, calling the time play dates, however, these "play dates" are becoming longer and longer. Tonight she has been in the house for over 4 hours and I know last night she was unhappy to go back outside so we will see what happens tonight. Today I got to play COT (Coordinator of Training) in the office. I answered phones and checked training grids and helped cast members that were late for my safety class get everything straightened out. I loved it! If I knew I wouldn't get in trouble I would have fixed issues on the grids, like the fact that someone, who will remain nameless, has been changing the font to mess with the COT in charge of the Cores.

I try and learn something new all the time, like sometimes it's a new word in another language, or how to do a new task at work, or new fact like "The House of the Rising Sun," by the Animals is about a whore house..., but today I learned or maybe came to more of a realization that when we are having fun and enjoying ourselves while learning something new or refreshing ourselves on something we learned in the past, we are more likely to remember and retain it.  I train a class at work that has a reputation for being the most boring class in the company. It isn't something that our company created but paid to utilize the information. The method in which we are "required" to deliver the information isn't nearly as exciting as watching paint dry.  I have been training this Safety class for going on three years and when I started I was very much by the book but after talking to other facilitators over the years and really getting familiar with the scr...

A late end to another day. I just finished my secret Santa's gift. I knew as I had promised I couldn't go to bed until I had written. Nothing real exciting today except I had an amazing conversation with my boss. This is the first job I have had where I feel like I matter. Where my boss tells me I am doing an amazing job. That is part of the reason I get up every day and go to work. Because someone has told me I make a difference. We may not always realize it right off but the little things we see as insignificant in our lives can really touch some one else. Learn to tell someone you appreciate them when they do something to help you. Let someone know they make a difference. And finally, be able to except a compliment, if it's hard for you to do that then just say thank you and leave it at that.... Too your health... thanks for reading
