Well it didn’t really go quite as I had planned. That office is full of guys, or I should say "shy guys". They barely say hi to me, but their faces do light up when they see me come in with a bunch of frozen meals for them (at least there’s that!). Nobody really spoke to me, besides the owner. I tried to do my task, by listening to what he would say. At one point I wasn’t concentrating 100% on what he was explaining, because after 10 hours of being there, I had basically reached my threshold, but at least I was aware of it. I did listen, and at some point where I would have normally “lose it”, I kept fairly calm.
Is it just I, or is it frustrating to have a computer that takes longer to refresh than if I was to write things by hand? I hate things that don’t work properly, no matter how much I might try to change the way I think, it sucks!
On a happier note, when I got home, the pooch was so happy to see me! It was cute to see how excited she got! She was jumping around and wagging like there’s no tomorrow. Hubby had been home for a few hours and was happy to let me know that no “accident” occurred while we were off earning a living, and that he didn’t get "such" a welcome when he came home. That felt good, and made me forget my frustrations of the day!
Today was my last day of Phase Three. The last “people” task I chose (anyway, didn’t really have a choice at this point, had to do 5 out of the 6) to do was find out . I was to take the trouble of finding out something new about a person, or to discover why my friends like you, or uncover a way of improving myself.
I “sort of” did it… This morning I had an appointment with an ear, nose & throat doctor (I might have sleep apnoea, need to do some tests). The wall behind his desk was full of diplomas, so I started asking him questions about all the letters after the traditional “m.d.” He explained it and I could see that he was amused by my questions, but he did answer me very nicely.
I also had one more extra task, which I also did. Actually I’ve done more than one.
The first one I’ve done today was to get up at a different time. Since last Wednesday night – when we brought the pooch over – I’ve been getting up with the pooch. And let’s just say that she’s an early bird!
In their (the authors) list of new things to try I realised that I also did: Throw something away that I don’t need – didn’t really throw it away, I'm giving it to charity, which I think is a much better option, don’t you think?
Tomorrow I will attack Phase Four!
