Today was the end of our first full week on the job, and it had its ups and downs. For starters, because we are working the later shift, we will be able to attend church here in the park every Sunday. Today was our first day there. Continue reading
I’m going to be short and sweet tonight. As of today, we are considered trained enough to go it alone. Our hours are now 11:30-8:00. Continue reading
One of the regulars from Housekeeping was out today, so Mark and I were assigned to cover her day. I thought that the two of us would get the work of one person done in half the time. That didn’t end up being the case. Continue reading
We had only been working half a day when our boss, Mary Beth, asked Mark if he was sure he wanted to work in Wisconsin next summer. This was because she found out his background is in security and she could use a good security person next summer! We assured her we still plan to go back to Wisconsin. Continue reading
This morning we met with Mary Beth and she took us on a tour of all the places we’ll be cleaning. When we first talked with her in our phone interview, she said we’d be cleaning the bath houses, and I thought she said we’d be cleaning the activity center. Today I realized she said the activity centers! Remember all those shops I mentioned before? The lapidary shop, the stained glass shop, the art center, etc, etc? No wonder it’s going to be a forty hour a week job! Continue reading
Today was our last day of travel. Yess!!! We have enjoyed the trip, but we are ready to settle down for a few months now. So are our cats! Continue reading
We drove into Canada yesterday and lost touch with the rest of North America. Our GPS didn’t work, nor did our cell phone or our hot spot, so I have a couple days worth to report tonight. I’m warning you this might be long because we saw a lot!
I haven’t mentioned that everywhere we stop to spend the night, we’ve been leaving RVIC (RV Inspection Connection) brochures. This morning I left a couple in the office where we were staying and the owner of the campground said she has a son that is working at Home Depot that she needs to be able to get back working in the campground. She said maybe he could learn to do RV inspections, so I went back to our RV and got a brochure for her to show him on how to become an RV inspector. I hope he does get the training. Steve and Coop need more inspectors. Continue reading
This being Sunday, today began with Scripture reading and prayer. I just can’t get over the fact that Steve and Coop are so open about this organization being built on faith in God. How many organizations that aren’t specifically church related actually include God in the course of their business meetings? I admire them for doing this. Continue reading
We all arrived at 8:00 this morning to the Heber Springs Community Center where the conference is being held. The doors weren’t open yet so we all mingled in the hallways and looked at the vendor tables. They finally opened the doors around 8:45 and I found a table near the front so I could see without a lot of heads in my way. Continue reading
