Today marks my third day at The Home. Waking up I was actually excited to go into work! Granted I had to wake up extra early just to run some paperwork over there before going to school, and then head back over after school...but still, I am enjoying going into work!
Not that I didn't enjoy working retail, but considering I have a job in my field, it greatly improves my enjoyment of the act of working. Our normal office hours are 8-4:30 pm so by the time I got there at around 2:45 pm there wasn't a whole lot to do. I got to meet the other new apprentice, Steve and fill him in on a few things. Apparently I am an over achiever because I have both of our Home locations, the local cemeteries, and everything else programmed into my phone...hey, just because I don't want to look like an idiot in front of our patrons when they ask me basic questions doesn't mean I'm an overachiever....(does it?)
Around 3:00 pm we got a call that a gentleman at St. Joe's had passed away and we were to be the funeral home to go pick him up. Today is my day for being on call, so I will be doing the pick up. Unfortunately, St. Joe's takes forever to do their paperwork and to wheel the body down to their morgue, so my partner Kevin and I decided to go home. He had to go pick up his kids from school, and I had to eat and do homework.
It is now almost 7:00 pm and I am still waiting for the call to go pick up our mystery dead man. My stomach is in butterflies, every little sound has me jumping, awaiting for The Call.
I have completed my homework, and will now watch the premier of Gotham on Fox which I know will prompt The Call, because like everything in life, once you sit down to enjoy something, someone always has to interrupt you.
Fingers crossed, here's hoping.
Until next time.
