stellar, faces, and talk to me

1 The stellar jays are visiting the water bowl this morning. They are so big that when they jump onto the dish it makes a big thud. I'm wondering if one of them will eventually tip it right over onto itself!
2 It's a busy evening but I still have some time to talk to a few new faces at work. I like getting to know the people around me and learning about their challenges and successes. What an amazing group of people.
3 Mr P gets a chance to take off his boots and unwind before we have our evening chat. I chose my second break later in the shift to accommodate him and it turns out it works better for me too!

blue, better with two, and back off birdies!

1 I'm often told and with good reason that my choice of clothing is neutral. I step out of my comfort zone and wear pale blue slacks and a blue shirt to work...I have back up clothes in the car just in case I get dirty!
2 This afternoon shift is the last of my switchboard training days. I've been doing the majority of the calls on my own but have yet to call a code and do all the back up calls etc that are needed. It would be great to have this done with a trainer first!
3 Stellar jays have found the birdseed! They're rather big, loud, and especially noisy. They chase each other from the feeder, to the water to the roof of the house. Eventually they move on and the little finches and other birds are able to feed in peace.
