They sent out the Opening Week schedule thingie*. And those newbies only have one day of orientation! I had like seven. No, just kidding. I had to commute for two days, though. It’s a conspiracy! Yet, it’s also blasphemous, and I’m cool with blasphemy. I don’t think I need to tell you that twice.
Anyhoo — my mini-visit to campus relatively uneventful
(“Sybil, you went there on a Friday afternoon in the summer, what were you expecting?”
“I was hoping to run into Val and Dawn, that’s what.”
“Oh.”).
I got to see a new g’ma (Cindy!) while I filled out the reimbursement blahblahblah (that’s exactly what I called it and they knew what I was talking about) for internet access… and give a quick “hey, welcome to campus and stuff” to Barb, our new Marketing Director. Then I paid my rent and got lunch.Back to the Opening Week thingie*. So, I’ll have Monday and Tuesday of that week (Aug 18-22) to reek havoc in Haverty and/or devise my nasty plan of world domination and/or prep for classes in between bugging other faculty members and/or pretend to do important stuff. It looks like they’ve really played around with everything that’s typically scheduled during that W-F. Like, we have two speakers coming and the normal slew of meetings covering crazy topics has been toned down. It’ll be fun no matter what, so I’m not going to worry about it. I’ll arm myself with a notebook in case I need to physically blog…
*This may sound snotty, but I think the aesthetics of this pamphlet could be much more fun! I wouldn’t mind being the designer next year for that. I am SUCH A GEEK. Sheesh.
