When the cat is away...

First of all, yes I forgot to post yesterday. I'm sorry to everyone who was looking forward to my post (i.e. my dad). So here's what I did yesterday:

Mrs D. is off this week because her daughter is getting married on Saturday. (How exciting :) ) The office isn't much different, except that sometimes Mrs H. has the radio on. When I first started, I thought about listening to Pandora, but I figured it wasn't appropriate. But I love working with the radio on. Just like driving with music, it just makes everything a bit more interesting. I started a new project, making packets for the new hires. They won't come in for a few more months, but it's a large project. I went through thousands of sheets of paper yesterday making copies. Thousands. I basically hogged one of the copiers all day. I had one packet that I was copying that took 45 minutes to finish. It was like 29 pages long, front and back, stapled. And I had to make 50 copies. I think some people were rioting over the copiers. Whoops.

Yesterday was also the beginning of open enrollment for next year. A few parents were in the hallways filling out forms, hoping that their child can join the school system even though they don't live here. They have a fee to pay so that their child can go here, but I think that makes sense because they don't pay our town's taxes. And anyway, the fee is minimal (in my opinion).

My internship adviser told me that he liked my shout out to him in my very first post. I'm glad/excited he's actually kinda reading this (or anyone else not including my parents. Sorry mom and dad.). So hello again, Mr. C. You're really cool. I enjoyed pysch class this year. Especially Criminal Minds. Not so much memorizing all of the development theories (Paiget, et cetera). Oh, and I wore lederhosen once when I had to dress up at Freud. That was interesting.. at least I got a decent grade.

Fire Drills & Mini-Project

^^ My day in four words. I worked on finding the certification dates of some teachers and more life insurance. I'm hoping that I'll soon learn all of the costs adjusted to the payroll system just by looking at it. ( (N*12)/26). And yes, I had a fire drill today. Because one end of the building is a preschool, I guess we have to have them too. Brought me back to the days of high school.... sigh. I received my first every direct phone call today. Not that it was really about me. A man was looking for the superintendent and I gave him my extension so the man could call and see if he had returned yet. But still! I felt special.

I watched some of the Royal Wedding on TV this morning. I know that people are either in love with it, or annoyed with it, but I'm neutral. When I was watching it, however, it was too cute!!! I adored her dress because it's just my style: simple yet elegant. Everyone here is talking about the wedding too, but it's just so beautiful!
