Mornin Sleepy People

Yep, yep!  It's morning!  *Sigh* Been up through out the early hours, but just been wandering around the different journal sites playing.  I enjoy seeing how everyones' day has been going.  I think yesterday AOL's top five list was happy positive people!  Welcome to our site new peoples!

Yesterday, we had started avoiding work pretty early.  We did the wee hours, but then took a break around 8 am, went to Gentle Brook's zoo and never really returned.  Unfortunately, we missed our Dr. M. Appointment.  He was going to call over the phone, but later we figured we had lacked common sense by not having first hung up the phone so he could get through.  The most silliest of peoples!

We didn't have to go in to work, but I told Sr. Tess I'd be working from home (she paid us already).  But only about maybe 5 hours got done.  We did put in about 12 hours on Sunday, so we were "all good."  This is something Sr. Tess would NEVER approve of or ask us to do, but we were soooo into the project!

We were working on the CARF stuff.  We pretty much figured out that we should be writing a Business Improvement Report.  It's like 11 sections long.  This first section will be the longest.  It's on "Strategic Planning" and it covers about 30 double spaced typed pages. *Sigh* Basically, it's a summary of three reports.  It's made of the Administrative Team's minutes, the Three Year Plan, and the Annual Report.  The last two reports account for only 5 pages of the work.  It's about 2-3 days work.

The larger section was fascinating.  For this part of the report, we wrote and nested together absolutely everything.  So for example, issues like finances, safety, or communications were each written as if it's own chapter, and from there paragraphs, such as finances might include state funding, grants, and fundraisers, and from there ...  5 months of Administrative Team discussion would be broken down into 5 sentences.  You'd be amazed with what all gets recorded over a one year's period of time.  It's like telling/writing the center's "story!"

Hehe, but in the end ... fall got us.  Went for a walk/picnic out in the forest preserves to ooh and awe over the brilliant fall colors!  Just brilliant, I tell ya!  Brilliant....
