Closing Out the Week

It may just be that we are getting into the flow at work but it was another calm day at Arcadia Place yesterday. We did our usual food service duties - pouring coffee and serving tea - at breakfast and dinner (lunchtime) and a few other tasks.

We had a waffle bar breakfast that was very successful in the morning. Here are several shots that we took of that event:

The other couple - Rob and Jamie - came on at 10:30 AM and we worked together until we left at about 3:15 PM.



Rob and Jamie are the floaters that are working here and they are leaving Sunday night to head to another assignment in Redlands, CA. We talked a lot at dinner about their floater duties and we don't think that would suit us at all. First of all, they are paid hourly instead of salaried. That may sound good on the surface, but they have some fairly long stretches where they have no work at all. Also, there is no stability in any one area to establish any kind of home. Randy, our Regional Director, had hinted to us that we may be utilized as floaters in a different way. First of all, we would be salaried and use Vista as our home base, and we would only be sent to fill in for somebody's vacation for a short time, then return to Vista. We'll wait and see what happens with that scenario.

It was nice to get home early. We changed and went to Costco to pick up some items and then came home to watch a movie we bought at Costco - Moneyball. I enjoyed the movie but it wasn't Josie's cup of tea. She's more into romance and/or adventure movies.

Today is an off day which will be used to finish up some details of the apartment. We will work the events tomorrow which will run from about 10 AM until around 2 PM and then be off again on Sunday and Monday. Terri and Charlie will return on Sunday, so we will be at our normal workforce and schedules beginning Tuesday for us. We're looking forward to enjoying this break...
