Just a quick note as I am at work.
Harold and I arrived to the office at about 9:00 this morning and things have been going well.
I took him out for lunch (no, he didn’t eat :)). We did a simple route of about two very long blocks (probably 4 or 5 Gresham blocks) to Jack in the Box. I am not eating there anymore. Their prices have gone through the roof. Well, overall his work was good considering. The issues we had were:
* Approaching the down curb was a bit problematic as we approached the crossing. Having lots of people around probably was a good cause of that.
* Not getting directly to the down curb on the second crossing. This was my fault and was a bit of a surprise as we traveled across the street.
* Running the up curb (no step up). I showed it to him and told him “careful” and his work on the way back was flawless with curb work :).
* His pace was a bit slow, almost walking and I ahead a bit of a time getting him to “Hup Up”. This was mainly on the way back though. It is almost like, “I have been here and it is boring”. Something to mention to Don Frisk if this becomes a pattern.
The rest of the afternoon should be pretty boring as I am back into code land.
Glad to hear your first day back to work went well. I would try and not too worry too much about those issues you mentioned in this post in regards to Harald’s work. I am sure things will improve. its his first day in this environment. he is a fast learner and I am sure he will guide
flawlessly and do a super job very soon. He is a great pup.:) I am sure you are exhausted and no wonder, you were lying down listening to our show tonight. We have done that during yours too so no problem,glad your listening. I am writing this in between listening to the tracks we are playing and doing housework. lol Take care.
