Oh What a Week!

Late December back in '63.......

Oh.  Wrong song....

It'll be in your head all day now.  You're welcome.

It's officially Friday - not my Friday but Friday for everyone else.  No, for me, I'm heading into what I hope will be the last weekend of putting together the 2013-14 budget.  So close - and yet so far.  My week was jammed with meetings and activities - year-end things that are so fun to participate in yet make time fly by.

Yesterday, we did our (now annual, we hope - albeit led by someone else next year) Office Olympics...it was so much fun.  We played 'Infectious Disease Jeopardy' (given a list of symptoms and then you have to select the disease out of multiple choice options) - both teams scored perfectly in that 'cuz we all know our illnesses.  Lots of other fun things like Minute to Win It contests - blowing a deck of cards off a milk bottle - just leaving one card on it; shooting rubber bands into bins off the ceiling (team with the most wins).  And the finale was a chair race relay - hysterically funny - and thankfully, everyone survived in one piece.  We all laughed so hard, we were sore after.

Today we have our final Cabinet of the year followed by a surprise luncheon for our Superintendent...and the grand finale will be the video we all made for him.  Sneaking around like thieves in the night - he shrugs his shoulders as he's told 'no, sorry - can't make that meeting - have another commitment - might take awhile'.....

It's going to be a fun (and sad) day - as we prepare to lose him.

I hope to be home 'early' today (4ish is considered early at the moment) and then will plow back into it all first thing tomorrow - much to do for board prep and wrapping up budget....
