Today was my first day of my mini sabbatical at Global Samaritan Resources. The name “Global” suggest they serve people all around the world. Which they do, but Global begins at North 1st in Abilene, TX. They supply dozens of Abilene non-profit partners and work behind the scenes by opening their warehouse to them when there is a need. My go to person there was Esther who is in charge of the Warehouse & Logistics. The campus and warehouse takes up an entire city block near downtown Abilene. Esther gave me a mini tour because I had already attended a luncheon their previously and was somewhat familiar with the premises. My assignment today was initially going to be to catch them up on some data entry, but the lady who was going to train me fell ill. So we went to plan B and I caught Esther up on some of her filing and also helped Myra with sorting and trashing some mail and correspondence she had been collecting for years under her desk. That was quite a challenge because it all looked like junk mail to me and I had to be very careful not to just assume that it was. After all the sorting I did she kept about a handful of documents and I trashed about 2 boxes full and took them quickly to the shred container before she changed her mind. She was very grateful for my help and said she hadn’t been able to put her feet under that particular desk in quite some time. My air conditioned time was up since I had done all they needed inside the office for the moment, so out to the hot warehouse I went. There I was introduced to Sal and Tomorrow, yes that is really her name Tomorrow. She is a very nice young lady and she showed me the ropes on how to do medical inventory. After we went over everything she set up a work area for me and a very nice big water cooler fan. I did inventory on different types of medical supplies, I had to log them on a sheet, put a sticker on them showing date and my initials so they know that particular area has been done. If the supplies are expired I had to put them in a separate area and then they decide whether it has to be disposed of or if they can somehow still be used. I had a very eventful day and am looking forward to see what tomorrow may bring and how I can be of service to them. Blessings.
