What was I thinking?!

     This week I took on a bit of extra stress.  Not a lot, but a bit.  I took over a few more staff members, and have already shaken things up some.
     With the departure of a housekeeper, I have been interviewing candidates all week for a replacement, and I cannot believe what I am seeing!  I can remember back to the days in high school when I was taught how to create a resume, and how to interview for a job.  It is apparent that this particular session is no longer being taught.  I had three resumes that I had no idea of their origin, it simply stated "your name here" where they should have put the name.  Phone numbers were present, but no name!  I particularly enjoyed the fact that at least one person in this world thinks that they should list the fact that they ranked in the top 100 on a Call of Duty Xbox game under job skills!!  What job did they think they were applying for?  I did hire a new housekeeper, but they cannot start for a couple weeks.
     Being down one person, today I decided to roll up my sleeves, put on some scrubs, and clean me some rooms.  What a mistake!  That is hard work!  First of all, it has been so many years since I have worn scrubs.  I forgot how comfortable they are.  I felt like I was in my pajamas all day!  Second, I still had some building audits to perform, so I had to get 8 hours of cleaning done in 4 hours.
     After a long, humbling day, I was ready to head home.  That is when I learned that there was a state surveyor in the building, which means that managers have to stay.  UGH!  At least I was still home by 5:30.

     On another note, I received a huge compliment at work today!  There was some shuffling at the corporate office, and the corporate building director could not make it to Arizona to train some new managers,  an email was sent out to only a few administrators asking to send their directors to Arizona in his place.  My boss was one of those recipients.  I can't go to Arizona next week, I am too swamped here in Clarkston, but my boss told me that the email only went to a few buildings, so I took it as a huge compliment!  Also, sounds like there will be more opportunities for travel, and train.  I'm looking forward to that!
