Went early morning grocery shopping with the kids. They like going with me just to walk around and hang out. We just talk most of the time and check out new games and toys.

In the afternoon we went to a block party Halloween party up the street as the Pine Family from Gravity Falls. It was fun and the kids got free candy. There were games and prizes. It was a bit cold and I only stayed for just over an hour before heading back home.

I noticed I wasn’t able to hear anyone on my mobile phone, so I had to move to an older phone. I should be finished with the setup by tomorrow. It had GPS issues but should be resolved by factory resetting the device. Hope it all works.

 I woke up this morning feeling ill. My arm if very sore where I got injected with the covid vaccine. I started work thinking I could get through the day. My daughter woke up ill also, so I took the rest of the day off. We stayed home and slept for most of the day. I feel much better now than when the day started.  I’m expecting to be back to my normal self tomorrow morning.

A new employee will be joining my team on Monday. I am excited to start teaching him. Afterwork, I got vaccinated for Covid. It was quick and easy. From talking to my friends, the new vaccine is stronger than the previous ones. I suspect I will be feeling ill tomorrow morning.

Another day at work. Nothing bad, but it is getting routine. I spent most of the day talking to the agents and seeing how everything was going. The new person is still studying and should become an agent by the end of next month. He has a good attitude and should do well on team specific training.

After picking up the kids from school, we all did our household duty when we arrived home to get it out of the way. Once we were all done, we played Mario Wonder. That is a fun game to play.

Headed to be to catch up on some reading resumes. Tomorrow I am going to help conduct an interview. Hope we find someone. The last two didn’t know much about IT at all or what was on their resume’.

 The morning is getting considerably cold. You can feel the winter coming. I’m getting my bike ready for winter bike rides up into the mountains. Its fun and I really enjoy being out there.

Today I had a good day at work. The transition from a four-person crew to three went without notice. Everyone did their part, and it went smoothly. I went around talking to the team members to find out what was going on and joked about work topics. Everyone was happy, healthy, and enjoying their jobs and it shows in the work. Everyone’s scores are high including customer surveys. We are at an all-time high four out team and are leading everyone by 10 points.  I am not sure how long we can sustain this, but everyone looks loose and confident at their jobs now. We will see at the end of the month if all the changes we have made over the past 3 months is sustainable. We know it is working, from a 36 score at the beginning of the month to 83 score as of today. My goal was sixty for this month and seventy for next month then sustain it at 70 or slightly above. Our big push was remarkably successful.
