Today was a boring day. I have been conducting research for about a week now and have to put it all together for a presentation. The purpose the this research is to find out why the church’s population have been decreasing. When I walked in the doors of the church and sat down in The Family Life Center I knew that I had to get started. So I started going through the data, before I could even get comfortable in my seat one of the other employees came to me and asked for my help moving some chairs next door.

I called and asked Jackie the receptionist at that time to let me in. I went upstairs to my desk and Jeff said that we had to go to the hospital because one of the members was recently admitted into the hospital. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to finish the PowerPoint that I haven’t even started yet. I knew that I wasn’t going to do it today as soon as he said that we were going to the hospital because the hospital that we had to go to is a hour away. So I packed up my things and put it in my
