Happy Wednesday

1. Finally chatting with Molly

2. Dinner with Lindsey

3. Lunch with Bob and Kirby (the pointers are going to dominate this staff)

4. Freshmen excited about homecoming

5. A student coming clean with an alcohol incident = SUCESS!

New outlook...

A friend of mine that I have known since kindergarten died last week. It's so sad. We lost touch after high school, but I had known him for so long. 13 years. Sadly, he left behind 2 little girls. It's affected me more than I thought something like this would. I know the last post was very negative and crabby. I want to start to be more positive (which I know sounds easy to some of you but it is HARD work for someone who is just a pessimist at heart). So for Nic, here is something more positive today. I am also stealing the idea from my friend, Manda.

Top 10 great things about this past weekend:
1. Sleeping in my bed
2. Seeing a movie with my mom on Friday
3. Spending time with Kelly, Dan and beautiful Lydia
4. Riley's excitement for walks
5. China Palace
6. Visits from family
7. I-pods, really, for driving they rock
8. Ideas of trips with friends
9. Naps
10. Spending time with my folks

RIP Nic...you will be missed. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080921/GPG010301/809210691/1212/GPG010301

Work week..WTF?

So for those of us in this job field we know that there is nothing that is really considered a "work week". We work 24/7. REALLY. This past weekend we had a mandatory hall council training (which I was part of setting up, why again I can't remember) Friday night and all day Saturday. So pretty much my weekend consisted of Sunday, well up to 8pm when I had hall council meetings until 10pm. So when people higher up say that we need to meet during the normal work week hours (aka 8am-5pm) I want to punch them in the face.

These are the times I hate this job. And it's hard as a single person because I don't have the physical people reminders around to remind the students (my RAs included) that I don't want to meet at 8pm all the time. They think that they work at night, so I should to.

Job searching anyone???

Haven't I been here before???

Well, I had a blog a LONG time ago and was sick of it but now think it might be fun to do it again. Living in a residence hall at 30 might give me stories my friends with "normal" jobs might find amusing.

Here is a funny story for today:

I have had a bad cold for the last 3 days (probably from working like 24/7 since August 11th) so I took a nap at 5:30pm. I woke up to base and music and looked over at the clock which said 7:34 and I thought to myself "what college student is playing music at 7 in the freakin' morning?!?!" Then I rolled over, woke up a little more and realized it was 7: 34PM! So then I got up, walked Riley and went to Taco Bell (off campus since the one on campus now does not serve my favorite chilli cheese burrito anymore and I have been craving it since last week).

So, yes. This is what living in the halls does to you.
