Sub Work Ahead

Morning ... We’ve just 20 minutes this morning. Feeling better than yesterday. It’s a Dr. M. Day today which includes eating ChiNeSE! Yayyyyy! Dr. M. wrote yesterday to say that he’s switched over to the new office. That is going to take a little time adjusting to. On Monday, he walked us down to it (First floor) to show us how to get there. We have to go past offices and a second door and then there are all these cubicle offices. He was just able to show us the door. Then a lady came out of the office next to his and Dr. M. explained to us that she was his assistant. We had regressed in age though and weren’t able to talk. Then when we got in the hall near the elevators, we were able to exclaim, "You have your own assitant??" He smiled real funny, held out his fingers and said, "Actually, I have three assistants." He said in defense that the job has a lot of paperwork. We were pretty proud of him. But, then we said that it was too bad he was losing his corner office, because we’d noted seemed wrong. But, THEN he said somehow that he did have a corner office and that from where we’d seen the office went way back. Oh man-o-man ... we figure he sure must be pretty good! Somehow now, we just have to sort of handle it all. We should be ok in the long run ... just the short run will be tense. This is the 5th office change we’ve gone through with him. Always is moving up!

Yesterday the most remarkable thing was ... we had to do some substituting for a missing DSP. We’re not sure if she is going to ever come back. We’re sorta hoping not. She’s the one who is always behind in her paperwork. One way or another ... we had some fun doing her group. We followed her schedule and did an exercise in self esteem, physical fitness, and workshop skills. In the process, we gave them 4 different tests. Five of the group are new to us since September and we wanted to find out where they stood on things. It was a good session. I’m hoping we get some time to write up our first impressions before we are given another assignment with them. But Margarita the normal sub has flown overnight to Guatemala for three weeks. Pretty good chance we’ll be spending more time in there today. Pretty good, pretty good. What’s life without some challenge!
