This week I helped out a lot around the office. Wednesday I helped open a shipment and put it in the back room. I also got to run dogs that night. Friday I helped in the check in for surgery clinic, I also got to help with shipments again. This week I also met lots of cool cats. The photos are of me holding another foster kitten, this one was only 3 weeks old, and of smoosh the office cat.
I haven't received my evaluation yet, so I can't really do the journal entry. I think I did good though, everybody seems to like me.

This week I helped in both clinics. I helped in the walk in clinic by hilighting paperwork. I also helped in the check in clinic by opening new shipments and finding out where they go. One of the delivery guys even gave us a bag of candy. I also got to cat sit for one of the workers foster kittens. His name is Todd and is only 5 weeks old.
This week I read the article on 12 things you have to give up to be happy. I think the thing that resonated with me the most was the "choosing to do nothing" bullet point. I feel like I do this a lot but I also feel I need to do this. Both my jobs are pretty high stress, I'm a waitress and I work in retail. So I really love my days off. Even if it just means lazing around the house with my cats. The photos are of with me with the kitten and an arduous task, making dog cones. Last weeks entry: This week I helped out in the walk-in wellness clinic. It all depends on the day on how busy we are. This week we were pretty busy. Lots of people brought in stray kittens, I'm surprised because kitten season is generally in the spring but maybe the kittens are looking for warmth and end up in peoples garages and sheds and subsequently their homes. I mostly helped file and highlight papers. I've been learning a lot more about the processes here and am able to help out people with simple questions. This week I read Forbes 15 ideal traits for an employee. I think the most important trait is ambition. At both my jobs their are duties that aren't super specified on who does them. At Yankee Candle it's trash runs and at G. Willies it's glasses. I always try and do these tasks before someone asks because I know my bosses appreciate it. Especially at Yankee Candle when we get deliveries in. ****I'm writing this 1st hour Friday 10/14/16 so I will try and upload a photo later but I might not be able to till tomorrow because of work. Also what dates are my time sheets, I know i messed up the first one, so is it this week and last week? This week I helped open needles on Tuesday. Also on Tuesday I helped make copies for the surgery clinic. On Thursday, the walk-in clinic was busy so I helped file papers the whole time.
This week I read the moral bucket list. It was an interesting read but not anything I didn't really already know. I believe in Karma and reincarnation, which is the basic belief that you get "reborn" after you die. Including with this, I believe that actions you do know affect you later, if you're mean now, bad luck will follow. As a result I've tried to be a better person, we all have our slip ups but it's nothing you can't "undo". I think the author is basically trying to get people to be nicer to one another. We are always too concerned with ourselves, but what's stopping you from helping that elderly women take the groceries to her car? Or helping someone out who needs some food? It's not super difficult to be a decent person, especially when it affects your future. |
