Little things...

Yes, it's the little things that can make or break a person's day.
Little thing #1 - I lost/forgot my hairbrush at home. I think I either left it at the cottage or at Caitlyn's house. Anyway, no brush here at all. Went to the store, they were out of hairbrushes (really?) until Friday afternoon. But wait...just heard that hairbrushes are on back order. Luckily, one of my co-workers could spare a comb until I can get one. Ouch.
Little thing #2 - as another co-worker said...I'd rather deal with some people than BE some people. Yesterday we got an email from the client saying to allow (I'll call him Joe) to move to another room. No explanation, just another room. Not an upgrade, just another room. He happens to come for his room change to my station. Another room. Well, where? What is the problem with your room? He says that he can hear his next door and across the hall neighbor's A/C or fan running and can't sleep. He's been using earplugs and they just aren't cutting it. OK, now, remember, we're in a CAMP. It's SUMMER. Where are you going to get a room that does not have neighbors that use their A/C??? So I'm trying to get out of him where exactly he thinks he should move to. Keep in mind that this camp runs at almost 100% capacity, so there are not a lot of empty rooms at any time. Well, he thought in a dorm on the end, on the side that faces out so doesn't have another dorm on the other side. OK, we get him a room in NP....farthest one out, facing the outside. It's a long way. He drags his stuff with him and leaves with the new key. Comes back ten or fifteen minutes later saying the room would have been ok, but it's right by the smoking pit. (Not a pit that's smoking, but the area where smokers go to smoke). OK, well.....now what? He's looking at me expectantly. Hmm. There's nothing available across the corridor in NO. Now my co-worker is involved and suggests SS or SQ, which are at the complete farthest end away. He tries a room there. Would have been great except the neighbor was playing music loud. We try one facing the gym. Nope, and I forget what that reason was. Mind you, he's running all over with all his stuff with him, and by now he's got sweat dripping off his face and is getting more agitated. In the end, he decided to stay where he was for the night, then see if he could get permission to transfer today, which is not normally granted because its' a fly day, and we have lots of check-ins. Again, rather be dealing with him than be in his head!
Today was Day 1 of Week 1 (for the second time) of Couch to 5K for me! If you don't know, it's an app that I downloaded to my phone of a program to follow to get from being a couch potato to being able to jog 5k. I did day 1 twice because, you know, I'm really sedentary lately. Baby steps. But two days in a row at the gym!! Go me!
