Worry


Huh, What?




Ok, as I continue onto my 2nd year with my work, people ask me is it good pay? They don't seem to get what Americorp is?  What do I say but it pays the bills.
So what is Americorp?  AmeriCorps is an opportunity to make a big difference in your life and in the lives of those around you. It’s a chance to apply your skills and ideals toward helping others and meeting critical needs in the community.  Or a person can say it's community service.  Sure, I get money at the end of the month like the majority of Americans but it's not a salary.  On top of this there is a reward offered upon completion of my contract year.

Can I Go?

So, what does a person do ?

Here is an example of what occured 4 months ago. Person A was aked if she wanted to go this year. The reply was I have to see what my finances look like. The final reply was I'm sorry I cannot go this year due to finances.  Hey, but as much as person A wanted to go because of what it meant last year, she finds out there were scholarship given out and she didn't even know about it. Nothing was mentioned and she wasn't even asked.

So, againg what does that person do?

The 3rd Day

The 3rd day explains it. Tuesday is the 3rd day of the week, it follows Monday and is before Wednesday. Exactly what is Tuesday's purpose? It's only been around since before 1050 , it is the typical Voting day, there are limitless possibilities what a person can do with this day. People have even named their child after this day; Tuesday Adams of the Adam's family.

What does the word mean? There are many meanings behind it from Greek (Triti meaning "third", counting Tuesday as the third day of the week) Hebrew (Yom Shlishi (יום שלישי) meaning "third day", counting Tuesday as the third day of the week.) Quakers traditionally referred to Tuesday as "Third Day" eschewing the pagan origin of the English name "Tuesday". This has also been the custom in Iceland since about the 11th century when Jón Ögmundsson changed it to Þriðjudagur, meaning "Third Day"

There you have it. A bit more on a word that get looked over a lot! Tuesday

Saturday.

Hello, today is Saturday.  I was at 'Book Feast' with work. It was to help raising readers.  I think I did pretty good explaining the Workshops and Parent Panel. However, I did notice some go by our table because they heard my co-workers talking about non-work related issues.  I'll be headed out on a date soon. Ft Collins here I come.  We'll see what comes of it.
