wow 47 messages..I had one voicemail this morning..lol


Turns out that about 30 of them was the SAME person calling to see if for some reason we decided to open the office up about 15 minutes after the previous message they had left :rolleyes: Fortunately that person sees my business partner too! :)

Right now I'm about to cement a couple of crowns on someone, and try and not let my really hungry stomach dominate my thought process ;)

WTF this is ONE of my main pains with higher education ---------- Sounds like some "organization" is sorely needed there . Unforunately many schools drop the ball as far as customer service is concerned . Too many petty bureaucrats defending their turf ! IMO thats a pretty poor way to treat students.

When i was in the college business i tried VERY hard to instill the notion that " People were our MOST Important Resource"
It seems that every semester I go there, something gets screwed up in my records. I have to keep a vigilant eye on them... which I shouldn't have to for the money they're paid. It's UCONN, for cripes sake!

Right now... home after being out all day while the landlord and handyman worked on the bathroom leaks. Leaks are fixed, but no ceiling until Friday morning. Looks like I'll be spending the evening putting stuff back in the bathroom closet, catching up on laundry, and hopefully getting some homework done. That is, if I don't fall asleep first.

Wait until you get to the real world. it doesn't get any better, even if you OWN the business. :sad:
Ahhh, but I spent many years in the real world before returning to school. ;) You're right though, nobody can just rest easy. You have to be careful and look out for yourself always.

yeah its UCONN --OK !! And You can BET your sweet patootie that when YOU earn YOUR degree they'll be HIITTING YOU UP for $$$ for the Annual Fund iN SPITE OF THE FACT that they screwed up your records and treat you like a friggin number when you were a student -- GO FIGURE

That's why i fought so hard to make the college environment student centered when i was there -- if YOU want a contributor LATER on as alumni/alumnae you DAMN well better threat them well while they are there as students

Going over a few loose ends for 07 tax returns so I can get it back to the CPA by tomorrow's deadline. No sense giving a bankrupt government any money until the last possible moment. And as little as possible. :) Dreamin about skiing. Setting up a few more trades for the week. Defrosting some meat for a killer chili in the crockpot tomorrow.

When I was in college..the people in the registrars office were the crabbiest people ever..I get donation calls from both the University of Vermont and the School of Business Administration...and whenever a young student asks me what I do for a living..I say I sell tombstones and there's a couple seconds of silence..

Sorting through stuff on my desk, deciding what to take with, what to throw out, and what to leave behind.
The throwing-out pile seems to be the largest of the 3.

Trying to get through the stack of charts from today, and not being very successful at it I might add ;) The kids have swim lessons tonight, so my wife won't get them home until around 7:15/7:30 so I'm just in no real rush to get home to piece and quiet when I have the same piece and quiet currently in my office.

Right now I'm writing all the nitty gritty details of a root canal I did earlier today in a chart :)

Baking Dutch Apple Crumble, waiting for the kids to fall asleep so I can do the laundry and some of my homework. Still trying to catch up from basically being offline for 5 days now.
