Second Day on The Job

Before doing anything else yesterday morning, we checked the Internet for local jewelers or watch makers that might be able to put a battery in my watch. It was a nuisance checking my phone all night the night before in order to get the time. It turned out that there was a shop in Kilmarnock - the small town across the bridge where Walmart is located, called Rings n' Things. We took a chance that maybe they also did some minor watch repair, which they did. So, for $8 I had a new battery put in and was set to go. We took this shot of our campground as we came back over the bridge on the way home:


Our work day started with a little confusion. Josie and I both thought that we would work the same hours yesterday as we did the day before. We should have read the schedule better as it turned out Josie's hours were from 10 to 4, instead of 2  to 6. She went in at 2, as she thought she should, and showed up back home at 4 PM. It was an embarrassing and awkward moment for her as she has never done that before. I didn't know either, as we didn't really study the schedule as we should have. My day was the same hours, so there was no problem there. Fortunately, they weren't very busy in the office so she was "pardoned".

My work went about the same as the night before. I am getting familiar with the routine and the grounds to know where everything is. There was another incident last night - with the same people we had trouble with the night before. Last night we called in Mary (Park Manager) at 11 PM to help disperse the crowd and she wasn't happy about disrupting her evening for this kind of situation. The rules are clear, and she will provide written warnings to these people today that if it happens again, they may not have their leases renewed for next year. I'm sure that the Memorial Weekend will be exciting. They are planning to have more security help for that weekend, which makes me feel better about making sure the quiet times are enforced.

It rained a little bit yesterday afternoon and it has remained cool at night. Great for sleeping. Today is a day that we both work from 1 to 6 and I will be Hosting today, instead of doing Security. It should involve some new activities for me which I'm anxious to discover...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
