Training Breather

It was back to operations training yesterday from 10 AM until 3 PM with just some time out for lunch. It was actually beneficial for us as we learned some things that will be very important for us to know on a regular basis. The main thing was preparation of contracts which we hope to get plenty of practice with in the near future.

The rest of the day from 3 PM until quitting time at 8 PM was a breeze - finally. There were no emergencies, no fires to put out and basically it was a pleasant afternoon and evening. There are always some uneasy moments though, such as discovering one of our residents watching TV in the model apartment as we were closing up for the night. He was a bit unhappy when we came in to lock up and made him leave. From now on, we will keep the model locked until we need to use it to show a prospective resident.

It was easier getting up early this morning knowing that we can sleep in for the next 5 days. Having tomorrow off, working only a few hours in the middle of the day Saturday, having Sunday and Monday off and not having to go to work until 11 AM on Tuesday makes for a nice run of easy days. It is our turn for an easy stretch, I guess.

We are looking to be on cruise control again today as we only work until 3 PM. There are some finishing touches to be made to our apartment on our days off and I will bring over the DirecTV box from the trailer to try and set up here. The cable system broadcasts all the major networks in regular digital TV and not High Definition, so we will try to change that. The cable company that is used here is Orion, so they must be behind the curve in presenting new technology to the customers here in Vista.

That's about it from here, so have a great day...
