We are back in Louisiana for awhile. I'm back in the sewing room and Ted is hard at work in Depot after cleaning out all the dryer vents on campus yesterday. Even though he shows the crew here how to do that little job, they always have them waiting for him to do. Never mind he just turned 80 and I doubt any of them are much over 50, save one.
My two singing ladies are back this year but I discovered I have an ACE on my side. Upon arrival to the sewing room yesterday I learned I had a helper this year. Her name is Louise and she is on a Gov't grant of some kind. She can only work so many hours a week and told me right away she had been told she had a way with people. SO...I shared with her the plight of the lady that sewed on a serger like she was driving an Indy 500 car.
Louise took over and I admired her work from across the room. AND...low and behold the driver slowed down. Well, most of the time. Since Louise is only allowed to work so many hours a week she left at noon today and it only took my friend a few minutes to totally wreck the serger that had been working just fine.
I finally said I'd deal with it tomorrow and about that time another serger was in pain. I took over and got it fixed after going back over my instructions on how to clean and thread the little devil.
I'm going to let the race car driver cut out blankets for birthing kits in the morning and hopefully by the time everyone gets here Thursday morning all the machines will be in working order. Why do I feel I have to do this? Maybe it's time I moved on to something else. We'll see how things progress and how the rest of our 6 week tour goes before making any big decisions.
*Note, Louise is not her real name but has been changed to protect the innocent. :)
