One thing that I hear is that some people think that a good aspect of a job is that each day is different and even unpredictable.  'Every day is different' they say implying that a same-old-same-old job is boring and not desirable.  I have long felt that my 'job' is different each day, but after 4 decades it seems to be nothing new and its hard to see anything different in what comes around each day.  Being the same stuff does help one become good at it because you have done it so many times.  So it becomes a balancing act between becoming  bored with the same routine and seeing it as being efficient and just doing what has to be done.  One advantage of working at home is that I can take time off in little bits and add to my day by reading, studying, watching tv or other stuff that is available to me here.  Last night I wrote about looking at a web site about famous Mormons.  I found it again today and learned some new and interesting facts.  And then every once in a while I get a lot of new work come in so that I have more to do then I can get done in a day.  I guess every morning  (night) is a bit of a surprise because I never know what will come in when Richard gets back from his rounds in the evening or when he or I (or Sheila) get back from going to Cullimore's in the morning and/or afternoon.  That's what happened this morning about 10 when Richard got back from doing my morning errands for me (post office and Cullimore's).  Things have been a little slow there this week but he walked in with enough new work to really change today and the next few days as I get the work prepared and out to be worked.  I do this thing when that happens though.  If I don't have enough work I complain to myself and when I have lots, enough to keep me real busy, well, I complain to myself then too.  I guess I'm just not happy unless I am complaining.   I am working on that.  So there I was today.  Getting the new stuff ready right away for Richard was real hectic because he was waiting and I had to get it done as fast as I could.  When he left the office I was able to finally break to eat breakfast (is it still breakfast when its lunch time?).  And then I buckle down and plan my work and then work my plan.  I try to do it in an order by thinking who would be next to go out and work a certain area.  Charles tonight, Jim in the morning, Robert when he gets back into town, or Marv on the days that he will work if I have work for him to do.  I always enjoy the actual routine of work better if I have in mind the ones who will directly benefit themselves (and , of course, benefit me). My office is small and my business small too, but it has worked well for us for a long time.  It would be nice, and interesting to me to hear from any of you about your memories of being involved with my work, and what you thought of that at the time and now as you look back on it.  Am I crazy to think that each of you did gain something good from the jobs that I asked you to do?  Why don't you think about it and let me know what comes in to your mind.
