More Worksheets completed, Cherries and Mangoes at the market, and a dry run to the Airport, 2 Jun 2016

This morning I had a little extra time, so I worked on arbitrating some indexing batches I had downloaded on Sunday. This evening I finished that up.  We were told in the Training Zone that if each arbitrator could do 400 batches, the back log of arbitration cases would be taken care of.  If I do ten batches a week, in a year I would get more than my 400 batches done, so that is my goal.  I have to admit that I am just trying to do whatever is priority, even if it is beginner level.  My head can't handle much more than that with all I am trying to learn at the Library.

I started on more worksheets today, thinking that I would get as much done in this week as possible, but I was encouraged to go out on the floor to be available to help guests.  I was able to get four worksheets completed, and I did help one guest--by suggesting she search Google for what she wanted!  That was fairly successful, and I was glad to be able to help. I attempted to help a fellow worker with some German script transcribing, but that was less successful.  

I did find that a book I left back home which is very helpful for German research is available online! "If I Can, You Can" is the name of the book, and it is so useful, as it has word lists with examples of script for all sorts of categories, like occupations, relationships, and sicknesses.  I am glad I now know that this is available.

I decided when I got home to do some laundry, and then I went to the Hispanic market to get more fruit:  mangoes, cherries, bananas and watermelon were all nicely priced. I splurged on Muenster cheese, which was a manager's special--I already ate a slice, and it is really good. I ate half the cherries before I got home, they were so yummy!  I will share the watermelon with my Cuban sister on Sunday, as she had mentioned wanting to get some when we went shopping on Monday.  The very ripe bananas went into the freezer, as frozen bananas are a great ice cream substitute! 

When I left the market I decided to see whether the cross street led to the discount store I found last week.  Instead it led to I-15, and when I got on I saw the sign for the airport.  I decided to do a dry run in anticipation of picking up Gregory the end of July.  I appreciate knowing how to get this done, and it truly is less than a 15 minute drive from my apartment.  Coming back I just took North Temple, and while that is the shortest in distance, I see now why the navigator recommended a different way.  Anyway, I am now prepared for July 18!  Can hardly wait!

One of the young elders offered to help with my groceries when I got back to the apartment.  The watermelon was about the size of a basketball, and he took it and carried it in one hand.  I was grateful for his help.

This evening I am cooking some lentils, as I finished up the kidney beans for supper.
