Thanks! I had a dollar, so that seemed to work. Lol, only the buffistas can I emergency text from the stall!

Hil, I am really hoping the right position comes through quickly. It is by no means ideal, but it is good to have the backup option of spending some time at home.

So 1 hour to ETD. The boys and dog are still lying around while finish my work. I'll wake them in a few minutes to pack the car. Well, I'll let the dog chill for a while longer. Then hitting the highway.

Good plan. Dogs are less helpful than you would think when it comes to packing.

Safe drive~ma, Laura.

I am going nuts at work. I have only on week left at this job and I have had to spend the entire week manning the front desk while one of my staff is on vacation. It's very hard to get stuff done when you're answering the phone every 15 minutes and troubleshooting some students inability to enroll in the course they want. One phone call can last 5 minutes easily, sometimes longer. So now I've got lists out the wazoo to keep me on task. I could have left two weeks ago, but I gave a very long notice just because I didn't want to leave the office in the lurch with them being one person down. Why do I do this to myself??

If they short staffed the office during your transition, the onus is on them not you, Sail.

Oh, no. This employee put in for her vacation before I even interviewed for the new position. If it had been the other way, I probably would have said too bad, so sad. I'm also pretty sure my boss wouldn't have approved it just because of that.

eta: As an admissions office, we are very picky about when we let employees take vacation; office coverage is vital, especially at the start of the semester when everyone wants to enroll.

Heh. One of my friends has a four-year-old son, and she read somewhere that a good game for them for learning phonics is to spell words on the fridge with alphabet magnets, and then have them see if they can replace one letter with a new letter to make a new word. After she'd given him a few words, he decided to try it with his name. His name is Tucker.

Whoops.
