Today I went to my (very) part-time job to score alternative-assessments, meaning I was working on the "No Child Left Behind" tests for students with disabilities. I realize it's a dead-end, but that's what I've been able to get for the moment. A lot of retirees are working there part-time to make ends meet and so the scorers are generally very well-qualified people and also very nice.
I've done my best to be friendly and to make small-talk with those around me, if only to make the experience of wading through the thicket of paperwork that the job entails. By chatting to people about what's going on with me, I was able to make some new professional connections that hopefully will lead to a new and better job.
I also stopped by a place to grab lunch, which is owned by the family of a guy I went to high school with. His dad recognized me and asked about my e-cig as he is trying to get his mother to change her ways as she has pre-symptoms of emphysema.
Finally, my parents are having a group of doctors over to their house for some reason and have decided to (as always) go over the top with the food and so my dad was running around like crazy trying to cook it all, so I gave him a hand.
Best possible outcomes for what I've done today so far are that I am able to use my new connections from my part-time job to secure a better job and move toward accomplishing my other goals. Also, by telling someone where to find more information on e-cigarettes, maybe someone else's life can be improved by switching. By helping to cook for a bunch of doctors and their families, I might be able to do some more networking and find other avenues to accomplishing my goals, or at least learning something about medicine or something related that might enable me to help someone else.
Given what you've done today, what are some the best (or worst) possible results of your actions?
