i don't necessarily need this job. and i get the feeling ernster doesn't necessarily need my assistance.
but i do know this: he lives alone and he is excited to pass his skills onto someone young and foolish enough to learn them. he elected me a few months ago, but i always presented an excuse. now that i quit my job, guess what? no readily available excuse!
it is kind of him to take me under his wing. we spent 1/4 of the day working and 3/4ths eating pumpkin pie (sugarless) with cool whip (low fat) and gossiping about our coworkers.
when he was fiddling at the computer i watered his plants. i'm almost positive he didn't notice. so this is my first deed of the month!
rating: 5*
*rating system is 1 through 10, 1 is cruel and 10 is mother teresa.

i like it. great project for the month. we should ad this to our blog
Decent rating. I maybe would give it a 6. Keeping a lonely older person company and watering his plants maybe warrants a 6.
Thank you for coming by and visiting my blog :)
I love spending time with older folk learning & listening :) LOVELY! and cool mo deed (!)..lol. i've been a most spoiled brat all my life so learning how to share loving kindness WITHOUT notice or praise is so great!
That's a good start. I am excited to hear about the upcoming days.
Sweet! I love imposing daily photography on people :o) hehe
Was he teaching you Quickbooks....that's what I do accounting with here at work....BOR.ING!! haha
I really like what you put together as a project!
It's more than a 5. You helping an old man out. I'm sure he loved it!
thank you everyone! you are too kind. i'm boosting my rating to a six...!
Great idea. I would give myself a 6 or 7 today and I already did something kind.
I love the random acts of kindness idea Robin and will add this to my blog tomorrow. Without rating them though- too much pressure.
love you mmm
Robin, this post is an amazing window into your heart and mind. Very inspiring!
