My Past Week...

So this past week has been my favourite week.
Work has been amazing, and I love it all and way more then I did before..
So lets do a little recap.
Monday was like a re stock day, and we just re stocked everything, and then worked in the food bank. Tuesday again I worked in the food bank, and as reception for the afternoon. It was okay, but I was just getting used to it becuase I had only worked as reception like 2 times before. Wednesday again I was in the food bank, but then there was too many people in the food bank in the morning so I was upstairs in the clothing area sorting shoes, which was actually really fun. Then in the afternoon I was reception, and I was more used to it, and finally got to the point that every reception has been to, and that is being yelled at for the first time. Because we were only taking a certain amount of people, and there is some rules in the foodbank, I had to re inforce them and people weren't too happy. But who cares what happens happens, and I guess I have to follow management rule. So Thursday I was working reception in the morning, and that was the worst reception time. I was called soo many names that I can't even post them here on this blog, and I had door slammed into my stomach like a billion times, but hey I guess that how it goes at a food bank, and I just have to get used to it becuase it's going to happen way more often. Then in the afternoon I was getting my Hifis training on the computer, and it was really fun......I apparently understood the program way better then anyone else that my trainer has ever trained, which I guess is good. So today was my ABSOLUTE favourite day of all. I worked as reception in the morning but at around 11:30 I was called over the PA system(yeah thats right) to go up to the third floor and pretty much manage the floor while Christina was downstairs helping with grocery interviews..so that was pretty cool. And then in the afternoon I was working in the office(I sound so professional and feel professional when I say that haha) and I sorted 9 files with Christmas Hamper vouchers, and made up the sheet of how many hampers each person gets and all that stuff, and then for the second time that day I was called over the PA system again to go downstairs and help in the food bank. Ha ha I feel so important when I get called every where, and it really gives me a reality of what the real work force being a Social Worker is going to be like. I LOVED IT!!!!!

That was pretty much my week. It was exciting and I loved it!!
Saturday is going to be fun, we're just going to do random activities like go to the falls around here in Hamilton, and then Sunday my parents are coming up to visit and take me out for lunch, so that should be fun. I'm really excited for this weekend, and my week of work next week, only because Christina is gone, and she left me a list of all the things I need to get done, and I get to work in the office, and it's soo exciting, and I can't wait to do more of the office work, and pretty much be called around every where, and get into the real world of working!!!!

Anyways I'm out for the night!!!
I'm soo excited for work, I couldn't have gotten a better placement. ahah

Peace out!

Oh steph sounds amazing!
and I can imagine how hard it is to deal with people at a food bank because there are certain rules, and people can only visit so many times..

Glad you're getting some good experience! Good to hear you're doing well.

love and light!
