On Sleeping Styles...
Sep. 16th, 2003 09:04 pm...amongst other things.
I think I've slept in all those positions. And I think I'm pretty regular with all of them...perhaps excepting the fetal position. I want to sleep like that, but it's really uncomfortable to do that on the floor...my hip feels like it's connecting with concrete! LOL!
Well, I went to bed so late Sunday night (or early Monday morning, rather) and had to get up relatively early (less than five hours later), so I was very tired yesterday...and I didn't really do any homework. When I got home, all I could think of was SLEEP! I went to bed before 10:30, and I didn't get up until close to 7:00. Cool, huh? Then I showered, ate breakfast, and left for my first day of work at my new job!
I don't remember if I had mentioned that I would be starting today, but I did. My "orientation" (if that's what it was) included filling out tax forms and signing OSHA stuff as well as a paper that said I would not sell cigarettes to minors (?!). And I read a paper about HIV/HBV acquisition and prevention, which ended with a T/F quiz (no grade, the guy told me). After that, I watched a lifting safety video, which spent more than half of the time showing improper lifting techniques. That was funny. I am typing this with a perfectly straight face, though...I guess I'm tired. Oh, this place is AT a warehouse, but mostly within the administrative offices section...just to give a little context for what kind of a place it is. Maybe someday I'll get pictures...I don't know.
I learned how to do bows...and I'm sure I made dozens of them...along with my co-worker, also new to the job (she just started yesterday), a very on-fire Christian lady who used to be with YWAM. Her story is a long one with a rather unhappy present...despite that, her love for the Lord is so apparent, and she has a great sense of humor. I will enjoy working with her. I already do! And she's a hugger...LOL!
The lady that's running the basket-making show (doesn't that sound like a rather informal way to put it?) showed me how she does the first steps of putting a basket together. I'm looking forward to being able to be of greater assistance. It was fun, though.
Anyway, now it's 9:00...my dad and three of the boys are at BSF, and my mom is putting the younger ones to bed. My oldest brother has gone out...he just announced tonight that he has been looking for another church, which explains why he hasn't been at our church even though it didn't seem as if he had been skipping (that sounds weird, I suppose). Oh, the guys are back from BSF...
I have homework to do...that I didn't do last night because I was too tired. I put it off while the younger kids were out here, because I just can't concentrate very well with a lot of chaos. But now I don't have an excuse...LOL!
