long day
So, I found out a few more details today. Apparently, the last assistant had been gone about a week before I showed up. Hence the backed up filing. Of course, I almost ended up not coming in myself as the owner hadn't paid his invoice with the company I'm temping to (DGD). I wasn't the only one who didn't come in this past Monday.

Anyway, I'm caught up with all the filing. In fact, I have none to do tomorrow morning, which is good, because I can continue working on the photo log book.

Of course, I've had the song "Penny Lane" in my head all day. As I was filing, I kept seeing the name of the nursing home, which kept popping the song into my head. I'm going to be singing it all summer. The name? Payton Lane Nursing Home.

The rain was coming down hard all morning and the basement flooded again in the building. One of the architects and another guy showed up to tour the site today with David. They both hit some nasty traffic, apparently. I wasn't really surprised. It's Long Island... {{shrugs}} Anyway, they went out and looked around a bit before lunch.

I really hate telemarketers. The trailer has been there two months... I'm assuming with phone service for a bit less than that. People are already calling us up with 'offers'. David got one early in the morning, I got one later about long distance service, and Bob got one about a dream vacation. Some people...

Tomorrow, I have to review the daily reports with David and Rob, make sure they're good enough to be faxed to the main office in Jersey. It's the first time I've done them, so I'm not really familiar yet with what needs to go in them or how to read Rob's notes from his daily walkthroughs. Hopefully, I figure it out soon. I feel a bit strange having to ask too many questions.

cash, it's what i want
So, Friday, I do my time sheet and fax it to David. He signs off on it and faxes it back to me. He's at the main office on Fridays and not with us. Then, once he signs off on it, I fax it back to EAB, where they process it that night and over Saturday morning. The checks get printed and dumped in the Saturday mail, and I should have my first paycheck by next Tuesday or Wednesday. At least, that's what Laura from EAB said. ^^;; I can't wait. I'll have money!!!

sleep
Right now... I have to get some sleep. I was up too late last night and I've been exhausted all day. I rambled about naps all day in my little notes. The same way I had kept notes during those Open Houses, I kept notes today. While there's things in there I probably shouldn't share with the general public about the site, it's still fun to look back and see what I was thinking.

Anyway, I'm off...
