This week has warmed and turned these days into another Indian Summer. I have a free weekend and welcome warmth that facilitates doing work outside. I’ve done work on this property during low temperatures and alongside high winds. That’s challenging, and now thankfully, we’ve a temperature respite.

I’ll also process the changes in my personal agenda. Yesterday was my last working day at Home Depot. On Monday, I’ll start with Macy’s to learn about clothing sales in a retail environment supported by an online presence. This experience could point me toward new working goals.

In the last couple of years, I’ve sought jobs to teach some basic skills demanded in Central Oregon. This working environment is primarily retail- and service-oriented. I have learned such as cashiering and general merchandise selling. Also, I understand the modern retail teamwork model of non-relationship selling and servicing.

Today’s businesses reel from enormously profitable merchandising and sales by the online retail giants. Online businesses, now assisted by artificial intelligence, alter previous business models. I’m personally reeling, with one foot caught up in my conviction that relationship-oriented selling is best.

Dear Friends: I’ll reluctantly evolve, for likely, there aren’t choices. Diana
