Today

Today’s header captures where I walked with a camera. Melting snow creates scenes that are textured and lovely in ordinary locations.

Here’s another nearby. Its trees make for darker lighting and create a more dramatic image.

It’s all good, capturing what’s out there in all directions, often being ignored.

On a totally different note, ahead is a hefty working schedule at my part-time job. After a few days off with my routines returning to normal, it’s time to start ramping things up again. It’ll be interesting to work during this post-holiday period. New stocks are starting to arrive and Valentine’s Day is happening next week. The store will be busy.

I’ll be floating from department to department, covering for lunches and filling in for vacancies. That’ll teach me more about the store’s products, interacting with retail customers, providing services, and making sales.

A fun thing is interacting with my working associates, some of whom I’m beginning to know better. After I officially became hired, co-workers started reaching out differently to me–friendlier and interested in my new role. The store offers me an entirely new sociology to tap into; I’ll be absorbing and learning.

Dear Friends: Puppy, Chase–again path-digging under the fence! Wears me out. Diana
