A Good Week!

I thought of this week as being a pretty good week, especially at work. I stayed pretty busy throughout the whole week. The first thing I wanted to do was prep our two new PC’s for the Mission and Ministry Board meeting next week. The next thing I did was help Francie work on getting this archive for one of the Annual Conference staff. It was located on our so-called Novell Servers. I say so-called because we had to resurrect the servers in order to get their email archive. I hope we get a chance to retire them again. Then I just worked a little on fixed assets, which is a program to organize all our hardware located in the whole Church of the Brethren. Then I helped one of the field staff repair an XP installation so she can get her files. And then a few things here and their which I won’t get into in my blog so I wont bore the ones that read this.

This past Tuesday, I went to dinner with one of the volunteers here at the center. We ate at a mexican restaurant located at the mall in Westminster. I been there a few times and this was his first time eating here. Then the volunteers and I went to play games on Wednesday night, just like we do on Sunday nights. I had a good time once again. Now I am just chillin and having a good weekend and preparing for next week. Starting this coming Monday, I will be working 12 days in a row because the board meeting is next week and I need to be working, making sure all the computer technology is up and running for each meeting. I don’t recall ever working 12 days in a row, that includes the last two times I went to board in Elgin. The first time I went to board, I think I took the next day off after coming back. The second time I went to board, I got sick and stayed in the BVS house all week. So this time, I am up to the challenge. Of course its always cool knowing that I have a possible two 3 day weekends after that if I choose to do that.

Just to recap again, this past week was pretty cool and I look forward to having another great week, that just so happens to be the longest so-called week in my project. The weather seems to be changing a bit lately. Last weekend it was pretty cold and snowing. This weekend it supposed to be close to if not in the 70’s. How crazy is that for spring here on the east coast.

More and more I am missing family back home. But I am missing my unit members even more. I think about it every day. I think it’s because there aren’t too many people my age that I hang around with over here at the center. I mostly hang out with the older adults, which is great because I think they are the best people in the world, but some times I feel like I got to let loose every now and then, but I am not getting that opportunity yet. I look forward to getting that in the future, preferably in the fall….I guess I will be going now. …….Peace!
