work, college, church, etc.
Aug. 18th, 2018 08:25 pmI have met New Hire 2, and already I have a much better feeling about her than I did about New Hire 1. New Hire 1 was very nice, but seemed perpetually kind of... mildly overwhelmed? Whereas we threw New Hire 2 headfirst into Move-in Weekend -- aka, The Deluge of Returning Cornell Students (TM) -- and she swam like a pro. :DDD
In other news, my TC3 scholarship orientation session (which they make you go to every semester, even though it's only really useful the first time) is on Monday afternoon, so I get the fun experience of leaving work around 3:30pm, driving to Dryden, spending an hour on pointless bureaucracy, driving back to Ithaca, and clocking back in around 5:30 to work the remaining hour and a half of my shift so Mom Boss and Aunt Boss aren't stuck there until 7pm. I'm glad I currently have a car, or that would be completely untenable.
Hmm. And I don't get a break from the chaos tomorrow, because in a misguided burst of social responsibility, I signed up to work at my church's recycling sale all day long, from 9am to 4pm. Presumably I will get to run to Collegetown Bagels to grab lunch at some point in there, since nobody wants volunteers collapsing from hunger.
Anyway, I was tired and sore when I got home this evening, but I felt generally awake enough to plow through another chunk of my depreciation tax course. I am currently 80% of the way through, and I think I just have one last case study before I reach the final exam. We'll see how that goes. I also have a sort of... bespoke webinar thing? which starts Wednesday evening (August 22nd) and will continue on August 29th and September 5th. This is a new experiment for me, since I couldn't dredge up any live in-person classes in my actual local vicinity and I think it's helpful to learn in a "live" environment as well as by self-paced online courses. We'll see how that goes, too.
And that's pretty much it for the day.
