Above is a particularly beautiful house we saw on our six-hour tour.
Work was interesting today. We got a group of volunteers in from UC Berkeley. My boss decided that we had little for them to do today and that we could just have them cut the grass around NENA headquarters. Though last week was basically a learning curve, this week I decided to be proactive. I remembered a woman who had said she needed grass cutting when I surveyed her, called her, and organized the volunteers to head to her place. She was very happy. Needless to say, it made my day.
Unfortunately, NENA really liked my work on the Microsoft Word manual, so now they want me to make two more on Microsoft Excel and how to write a business letter. Ugggggh.
I had a tense moment with someone today when he informed me that "women are softer than men." He was surprised that that proclamation offended me. Perhaps I've been in the women's college bubble too long, but I'd forgotten how statements like that can sting.
