1st day of in-branch training & Weekend

Thank You for all the colorful people who gives us our daily entertainment.


A man who threatened to shoot the delivery man who might deliver fraudulently purchased items paid COD. Another whom I scared with a story of people unconsciously swallowing spiders during sleep. He had to leave and come back when he regained his composure. He's very nice though.

I think I'm going to like it there. I have time to make small talk with customers. Referrals doesn't seem to be that hard at all. And secretly, I think I count faster because I count in Chinese. I am going to make an awesome teller there.

Weekend:
Was so excited for the weekend on Friday, and then I woke up on Saturday. My week-long crick in the neck has turned in full-blown debilitating pain in the neck, literally. I did some minor errands and found shifting hurts, turning my neck to look in both of my blindspots hurt. I laid down in bed, and any action that required support from my head hurts. It's only when a part of the body is not working do we realize just how important it is. This muscle apparently is involved in lifting arm, any part of 360 degree rotation of head, any time my torso/body deviates from the vertical, it helps to support the head.

Got some Icy Hot which helped to numb the pain a bit. While I relaxed, Luis and I watched The Butterfly Effect. Didn't like the story much because a few key elements didn't feel natural. However, I understand the lesson they are trying to convey. You can control your own actions but not others.

On Sunday, Luis and I went to Orange to visit the Torreses. Baby Gaby looks like her father. Kacie is so awesome a mother. I really admire her patience and devotion. Had a wonderful dinner with their family. It's so great that everyone gets together to eat dinner on Sundays.
