May 5-Working on the Railroad

I used to hate working late. I hated having more and more things to do and now that I have been in the field for 11 years, I almost enjoy it sometimes. Today I was able to get some high quality me time in while finishing a couple projects that needed just a bit more time. 

The weather was gloomy today too and I knew that would make for the best day to stay under the mighty florescent lights. It reminded me tonight too about how when I was a Hall Director and it would be 11 or midnight and I would be finishing things in August or May when the students were not living in the halls. It was quiet, I had tons of things to complete, and no one interrupts you as you finish all the projects. 

I would be misrepresenting the truth if I said I did not miss working like that in the halls. I do not have empty rooms to check or an office to organize knowing that I will be either ending or starting a school year. Now all I get is the paperwork! 

Look back at this flashback from when I started- this was one of my first trips in a College van. Nowadays you will be hard pressed to find me not in control...er...I mean the driver's seat. I miss that shirt. 

Well tomorrow is a big day- Loft Collection! There are also some interesting meetings and the start of compiling all our student conduct to prepare for end of the year reporting. May is dwindling down.
