It has surely been an interesting week! Being on someone else's payroll is sounding better all the time! It started out quite humbling. I finally found out the core problem with my client and while I can definitely see why he's upset I'm not sure that I could have done a whole lot different due to the size of the project and time constraints. However I really would like to apologize but something (my Father?) is telling me not now!! Seems a bit odd to be told not yet for apologizing but I won't argue! Anybody had that happen to them?
In reality the rest of the week has actually went fairly well. Tuesday and Wednesday things just seemed to fall into place. Not today though!! Went out to Hillsboro and the power had went out 5 minutes before I got there! Bummer because it takes me at least 45 minutes to get there!!! So I back tracked to a couple of other clients in Beaverton (The Tamale House next to Trader Joe's has yummy food!) and Tigard and then went back to Hillsboro. Payroll has to get done after all!!! Pretty sure it was the wind that knocked the power out. One thing that did fall into place late this afternoon (I love it when this happens :) ), I called the state to inquire about a form that I'd faxed in 9 weeks ago. It turns out that they'd just processed it TODAY! Unfortunately there was an issue but since I called in I was able to re-fax the form and hopefully it'll be finished by next week. No letter was needed due to timing, and it helps that I actually got the person who handles the faxes. (Their constantly two days behind with faxes for this particular application)
Weather changes are starting to happen! The wind has been whaling today! I'd say it was at least 40 mph gust, possibly higher. Started at midnight last night calmed a little during the day but has really picked up again tonight. This wind actually has kept things a bit cool rather then warming us up so fall is on the way. :) They're saying this is the earliest that they ever remember a fall wind hitting. However they're saying we'll be at 90* Sunday and Monday. Then rain Thursday and Friday. :( Guess we need it but I'd like a bit more time for the tomatoes and raspberries to ripen before the yo-yo starts!!! I'll have to post a picture of my raspberries next time. They're yummy and big! Ripening a handful at a time!
Our study was Acts 28 this week. I just enjoyed thinking on how the necessities were provided. They'd dumped everything overboard and yet when they left that island the necessities were provided by those on the island. Paul got the boost he needed when he was visited at one of the ports. I believe there was at least one other but I'm pulling a blank right now! But it's the same for us today. If I'm willing to listen and willing to do what's being laid on my heart then the necessities are provided, and there's a big difference between wants and necessities! I feel like some of what I consider necessary isn't even close, it's really a want!
