Notes from a busy week

This was a stressful, strenuous week at work, mostly because I had an employee quit without notice early on. This happened to be one of the rare cases in which I sympathized with the necessity that led them to that decision, but it still left me with a lot of slack to take up. I don't think I was as successful as I could want, but what is done is done. Now I have the work of finding a new employee on top of all the other things I need to get done, which has resulted in my canceling my semi-plans to go to the Chicago Kotei. (The Evansville TO has already suggested I go to his instead.)

There is a serious snowstorm heading my way. It rained early this morning and has stayed cloudy all day, and tonight it will start snowing. Accumulation predictions have been varying wildly, but I'm expecting at least 5". In preparation for being snowed in I bought a bunch of rose-scented cleaning supplies--I know I have to do a lot of housework this weekend, so why not make it as pleasant as possible? I should make a list of all the things I need to do: this will be depressing, but experience shows that I get more things done when I have some kind of plan in place.
