edenfallingWe are slowly catching up to ourselves at the rental office. We now have all our units rented for 2018-19 (yay!), though three are only fall-semester leases (boo!) which we will have to rent again for the spring. I need to post ads for those sometime soonish... *makes note*
We have almost all of the 2019-20 prices and lease dates up on our website and double-checked to make sure we haven't created any weird scheduling glitches. I am plonking my way through updating all the NYSEG application forms. (Ugh. So tedious.) I made a very clear list for myself of tasks to do tomorrow, which are arranged in order of importance -- mostly because I will probably be coming in either Tuesday or Wednesday for a few hours to help cover our first tours and make sure the projects don't get lost in general inquiry chaos, and I need to get the computer-based tasks done while I have a dedicated computer. Things like labeling new lease folders and stapling interior note pages into those folders can be done in the back room without interrupting anyone out front. I also need to make about a million photocopies of various tour-related handouts, since we got in a new order of colored paper and I can now make them properly colorful. :)
In other news, my new college advisor was sick on Wednesday and so cancelled our check-in meeting. We are working to schedule a new one for sometime next week -- possibly via phone rather than in-person. My second WebEx live online tax course starts this coming Tuesday, and the third session of my first WebEx live online tax course finishes this coming Wednesday. So far they've been a pretty cool way to take tax courses, though I'm still having trouble getting the cloud-based version of our actual tax prep program to download so I can do the practice exercises. *sigh* I may end up just going to an office and doing them there, since there's no real time limit on that part.
My Spanish class is a weird mix of extreme regimentation and utter disorganization -- that is, the exercises within the online program (Portales) are very organized, but Prof. G can't seem to make sense of Blackboard to save her life. Also apparently we're going to have partner exercises at some point, but aside from posting a list of first module partners, she's done nothing to help us get in contact or to tell us when these partner exercises are due!
My government class is much more organized, though Prof. R comes off as kind of cheerfully self-important and ever-so-slightly tone-deaf. Ah well. He does seem to know his stuff, for which I will forgive many failings. Plus, did I mention he's organized? I will forgive even more failings for that. Give me clear instructions and time frames any day!
I am really looking forward to October, when I should be able to once again have some free time to surf the internet at work, to say nothing of catching up on my homework. *wry*
...
Also, and completely unrelated to anything else in this post, today I got a letter from my dentist, Dr. H, saying that he's retiring from his dental career and over the next several months will be transitioning his practice into the care of a new dentist. Which surprised the heck out of me! But the new dentist, Dr. B, seems like a qualified and decent person -- the mailing included an introductory letter from her as well as a farewell letter from Dr. H -- I really hate shopping around for medical care, and this practice already has all my records for the past... I dunno, ten years or so? So I think I will stay put and see how that goes.
