First Day On the Job

Today, I started some volunteer work at the Center for the Visually Impaired in downtown Atlanta. Basically, I work with the technology they sell in their store. A lot of people who buy the stuff either don't have the time or patients to read the instruction manuals that come with the things they buy, or they may simply learn better from an actual person instead of a book. So, when people like that buy something from the center, I'm one of the people who will be working with them. Anyway, for today, they wanted me to just take a look at the devices they have, and get familiar with the ones I don't normally use. The trick was that I was sitting at a long table that didnt have room to fit a dog under it, or a corner to tie him too. Therefore, I was wondering how my social retriever would handle this arrangement. It turned out that I had nothing to worry about. Instead of constantly looking for people the way he normally does, he spent most of the time sleeping. I guess he figured that since he was in plain sight, everyone who wanted to could admire him without him having to make his presence known. Hopefully, this behavior will continue when I start showing customers around the store. I'll keep you posted.
