And, Slo Will Lead the Way

This morning we’re feeling ok. Maybe a little pensive. Today we have an Administration meeting. Maybe if we could retain an older self version of ourselves ...

There are four of us (other staff) in the Center’s Administration Team. We’ll have to do something in creating a CARF presentation. It is supposed to be the main focus of today’s monthly meeting. I’m not worrying about that as much as worrying over getting things all accomplished.

Somehow, we’ve got to be telling these three others (I’m the lowest on the totem pole) that I’m not going to be able to do it all on my own. Not that and put time into annuals, Qnotes, meetings and clients. Shoot, we've all been giving our hard luck stories as to why not get the work accomplished.

Sr. Tess has helped the most. She worked on the CARF finance book. She could commit to doing two or three more, especially the ones on legal and Governance Board.

Yesterday, we were still working from the point of needing a lot of order. While putting away the 2002 records from the client’s files, we discovered in storage a box of hanging files. We couldn’t think of anything else beside using them. Cuz they were purple. Hmm, maybe younger parts are trying to help too? 

We did make progress ... but, it is slow. By Saturday, we figured, we are going to need to dedicate 7 ½ hours a day over the next 30 work days doing 1 Qnote every 15 minutes. There has to be 30 Qnotes written each day to make the deadline, plus the other things, plus CARF. Just have to economize, right?

Feeling pressure. But it could be worse. Remember the movies they showed you in Lamaze class? Just a little pressure? LOL - haven’t thought of that before ... I’m the only one of the four of us that ever delivered babies. Of the Administration team, one has remained single and unattached, one’s a male, and the last is a nun. Maybe we're better programmed to carry on.

Think we’ll Follow Slo’s example. It’s time to turn on the Barouche. If its going to be Rachmaninoff for Web Design it'll have to be, "Sonate N.4. I. Allegro," by Jean-Joseph Cassanea De Mondonville for the Center's work.  Slo, you be our hero!

I don't know of Mondonville, but Mozard sure does wonders for my spirits when I need to be productive. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is foolproof!

Thanks Muse for the tip! There's no substituting for the big guys. We'd throw Vivaldi in with the bunch. We're not able to recall well, so usually we just play a variety that someone else chooses. The trick is finding the good choosers. Like if we were driving with you, we'd listen to your soundtrack :)
