http://measuringayearasavista.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. 5: The number of hours we spent on the food drive today. Today Kaitlyn and I realized how much we rely on Gus the Bus. Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances, Gus the Bus was unavailable for food drive pick-ups today like we thought he would be. So we had to get out our ingenuity hats and work something out. We couldn't just forget about 11 food drive sites we had to retrieve barrels and boxes of food from! It was a lot easier than we thought it would be! This Saturday, D...

Friday, January 29, 2010. Insurance Issues, Taxing Troubles. 631: The number of dollars I (? I can't believe we're only a few short days away from February. This month really did fly by. I thought that only happened the month before Christmas. Remember how I was getting frustrated about all the speed bumps in my trainings because of glitches in the system and typos in the book? I spent all of Monday morning going through all three scenarios in the tax guide so I would know exactly where the issues were.

Kaitlyn and I have been collaborating with a local business who wanted to train 23 members of it's staff on benefits for the OBB. We don't usually plan extra trainings, but because there were so many people who wanted the training, and because they all had laptops and wireless internet, we decided to make an exception. Everyone was so disrespec...

Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Bad Computers, Good Computers. 25: My days left as an Americorps VISTA. I'm typing away on a different laptop than I am used to today. Whenever I turn my own on, it freezes up as soon as I log in. Even after restarting it fifteen times and making many a phone call to IT. I'm guessing my old laptop is sensing that our year together is almost complete, and has decided to retire early. You couldn't wait another three weeks, Bob the Laptop? Personal note: Our AC is broken. The low...

It went a lot better than our Greene County adventures, for which we could not find half of potential sites we had in mind. We went through our spreadsheets this time and Googled each place to make sure we had the correct address. It did pay off, for the most part! Is this a perfect match or what? I totally agree that they would be ...
