Because We Can - Fulltime RV'ing

 

What Did We Do Today?

Friday June 12 Livingston, TX

A Busy Day

A few days ago we watched out this window as the RV Sunshade man cut, sewed and installed sunshades on Glen and Jamie's RV. Today I looked out the same window and could see the awning repair woman sewing an area of our awning where the stitching was failing. Actually we spilt the sewing duties, so in the afternoon I reseamed the side of the awning. Looking back I realize she worked in the morning when it was cool. I put my part off until the afternoon when it was blazing hot. Did I marry a smart woman or not. I'll leave off the adjectives describing the man she married, though village idiot comes to mind.

Linda doing a great job of serving breakfast. I was assigned tasks consummate with my abilities which were making coffee and doing dishes. I quickly showed them they were wrong in assigning me to such simple tasks as I forgot to check on the coffee, letting one of the urns run out while I was over at the wash area. Now you can understand why my parents named me Bob. Even if I spelled my name backwards I was still right. Partially Brilliant boB.

Can you believe it, I was promoted to server's helper in the afternoon. Friday is rootbeer float day and since Linda and I were floaters today it was our job to serve the root floats. I think I did a good job, at least Linda didn't take my scoop away, though I did get one or two hard looks when I put a less than full scoop in the cup. Partially Imperfect boB.

Yes, I know it is same photo as the one above. Guess what! I got to serve again at the evening meal. At this rate of being promoted I'll be executive director by next weekend. Am I good or what!! You say you're skeptical about my promotion and projected career path? Well maybe I did embellish what transpired, at least how I got to serve the dessert at the evening meal. Linda wasn't feeling 100% and rather than her go over to see if they needed help serving she asked told ordered me to go up and see if they needed help.

They did and I really enjoyed it, even occasionally placing the piece of cake in the right compartment on the tray. After we were done I got a great compliment from Molly, the cook. She said, "I can truly say I have never worked with anyone like you before." I'll bet they will be asking me to help serve at every meal from now on. Blooming Bob.

Somehow this quote from comedian Elayne Boosler seems like an appropriate way to end this edition of the daily Journal, though I'm not exactly sure why. "I am thankful that geniuses and artists and good people, no matter how hard it is, will eventually be recognized. I am doubly thankful that also goes for idiots."
