Good help is hard to find nowadays.

I had to change my own light-bulbs in the office yesterday evening, and also to drill several screws into the
wall myself in order to mount a wall-clock and a new wall-mounted phone. Got someone to help install the wiring
to this phone over the weekend, but he did not do a good job, and I had to redo part of it. This same person was also supposed to install some PC software for one of the people in the office, but did not do so, therefore he has to come back tomorrow to have that done. I suppose there are pros and cons to working in a small office of 17 fulltime people and 2-3 temps. Very soon the office population may increase by another 3 or 4 staff; selection interviews are still in progress.

Will be going to J's house tonight for dinner and then to practice some new line-dance steps. Some of these new
steps that they are doing here are really difficult to remember, with all the turning around and shuffling; makes
me dizzy and start to get a head-ache after awhile from trying to do the steps and to keep up with others in the line. My opinion is that these are not "real" line-dancing steps, but are actually Social and Latin dances that they are doing in a group and sort of standing in a line. One good example is the Las Ketchup dance that I saw being done the other day, and which
those doing it were supposed to be line dancers! My idea of line-dancing is probably the Western kind, which is what line-dancing really is. That is the kind of dancing where the guys and girls dress up as cowboys and cowgirls respectively (with hats and boots) and actually have to stand in a line, and perhaps have the DJ call out the steps. Anyway, this is only my second dance lesson so far, and it will probably be several more months before I get the hang of the whole thing. Still do not see what is the fun that people find from line-dancing yet. Perhaps later on, after I can begin to do a few dances well.
