Each year my workplace gives away over 3,500 turkeys the day before Thanksgiving. I really worked my bis and tris today, lifting hundreds of ten-pound frozen turkeys. I even worked my legs, from stomping down cardboard boxes:
My favorite moment was when my coworker Bill (who just turned 39 yesterday!) saw the giant pile of cardboard boxes and said, [...]

My best friend Heather is living with me for ten weeks this summer, working in the same food pantry where I work part of the week (the other part spent upstairs in my office). That’s why I haven’t posted in awhile. She and I have been too busy going on walks around Liberty Park, almost [...]

MY GOALS FOR 2009:
1. Climb Mount Olympus in Salt Lake City, perhaps also Mount Timpanogos.
2. Don’t spend work time sending non-work-related e-mails.
3. Live for God.
4. Watch the entire series of The West Wing.
5. Be nice to people even when they annoy me.
6. Learn to use double-pointed needles in my knitting.

I’ll leave you with these last few shots from my Christmas visit to Homer:

My workplace has two big turkey giveaways, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. Today was my first taste of all the work involved. I tossed turkeys on an assembly line, bagged potatoes & apples, directed traffic, coordinated volunteers, broke down cardboard boxes, and lost my voice.

On the days that I work in the food pantry, I have to look up clients in our system. (We’re only allowed to give food to a client six times in a 12-month period, so we need to keep track of how often they come in.) One way to look someone up is to ask [...]
