I think it will be a busy weekend.

Work is a little insane. I had plenty of time to do everything for Orientation on Monday - until Thursday when I learned that the program director from our partner university was coming. He just assumed we knew. We assumed he wasn't coming. My boss has a policy that all visitors will be scheduled to meet with people every minute of each day they are here. So, we started to scramble to set up meetings.

So, before Monday at noon, the following needs to be accomplished:

Orientation/PD Week
1. Create Agenda for LL
2. Name tags for Welcome Lunch
3. Write John’s speech for Welcome Lunch
4. Arrange for Podium at Forestry
5. Arrange for microphone at Forestry
6. Final numbers to MUB for Welcome Lunch
7. Trainee Responsibility List
8. Associate Responsibility List
9. Scholar Responsibility List
10. Copies/packages for Trainees/Associates/Scholars
11. Complete IGERT Overview presentation for John
12. Complete Karl/Kirsten presentation
13. Final numbers to MUB for Box Lunches
14. Arrange for people to man table during Round table
15. Materials for Round Table
a. Sign up sheet
b. Scholars responsibility
c. IGERT Brochures
d. Course information
16. Grocery Shopping:
a. Sodas, cups, coffee filters (snack)
b. Garbage bags, disposable gloves, beverages (clean up project)
c. Charcoal, paper products (plate, forks/etc, napkins, cups), beverages, cooler w/ice, condiments, cooking utensils.

So, with the fair, birthday party, cleaning house, and getting ready for my class - I guess I have a busy weekend.
