Well, let's see!
Jacob and I sat down and started
Mendability today.
I told him in the morning that we were going to check it out. He asked if we could "schedule" sometime in the evening.
I said, "Sure, what time is good for you?"
He said, "How does 5:00 p.m. work for you?"
I said "Perfect!"
Five o'clock comes and as usual, Jacob is at my office door, and politely informs me that it is time. I never notice the time. I just keep working until I cannot work considering how much I have to do. I, as usual, ask him to give me a few minutes to finish up what I am doing and he says "OK" and shuffles away, slightly ticked off. A few minute go by and I try to quickly finish what I was doing so we can start on a great foot.
I call him into the office and as he pulls up a chair, explain to him, that I have no idea what we are going to see or how the system works. I inform him, straight away that it may not be smooth and that we must learn how the system works. I want to prepare him so he does not get discouraged. He nods in understanding.
I explain to him how Kim asked about video recording his sessions as I pull up the website and log in. His face glows and as he is still beaming, informs me "Well, we do not have any batteries for the camera." I downplay the conversation, realizing I spoke too soon, by telling him "Well, we don't want to videotape the first time, right? How silly will we look as we figure this out?" Jacob chuckled and I sighed....no meltdown.
