like four jobs ago I had a boss who made all of us put together "hit by a bus" binders that outlined our most common/most important duties. I have tried to do it on some scale at every job I have had since then and it always helps me to actually formulate processes (often spotting inefficiencies of time) as well as train interns/new staff when the opportunities arise.
I have that boss now, and while putting it together the first time is a huge PITA, it really does come in handy for vacations and training. (As well as having one place for all those Really Important phone numbers you only need to call once every couple of months, but when you need them you need them now.)
I'm trying to decide if it would be insane to bike to work tomorrow, given that I have owned a bike for all of about 36 hours. I mean, I bought it specifically for commuting, but 10 miles each way sounds like maybe more than I should do on my first real trip out. (I did take it grocery shopping yesterday, which was TEH AWESOME. SO much faster than waiting for the bus!)
Also, I have a pretty cute kid. Just had to share.

Jamaica puzzled by theft of beach
Police in Jamaica are investigating the suspected theft of hundreds of tons of sand from a beach on the island's north coast.
It was discovered in July that 500 truck-loads had been removed outside a planned resort at Coral Spring beach.
Detectives say people in the tourism sector could be suspects, because a good beach is seen as a valuable asset to hotels on the Caribbean island.
But a lack of arrests made since July have led to criticism of the police.
Also, I have a pretty cute kid.
Yep. Also, where did you get that t-shirt?
Forensically testing sand? CSI: Caribbean--I wonder which Who song they'd use.
where did you get that t-shirt?
Fox sent it to DH over the summer with the House premiere. (I also got one for SCC.)
Nice choice!
eta: although it works for Jess's t-shirt, I was referring to Barb.
Okay, I saw this in Calli's LJ, and since she didn't link it yet, I *have* to: The presidential campaign as a D&D campaign.
KUCINICH: IM A BARD
OBAMA: That's nice.
KUCINICH: MY FAMILIAR IS A PURPLE SNOW LEOPARD
MCCAIN: Oh, Jesus. Here we go.

As I scroll through the old El Jay, I see that amych posted a link, too. I'm a little behind....
Scrappy, that wedding sounds made of AWESOME.
Owen just pinned Liv to the floor and said, "I'm playing Ultimate Fighter!" I foresee lots of visits to the principal's office in our future.
I linked to it in the Gaming thread.
