I'd be ...Congratulations on your new grandson! I'd be using all my vacation time to hold him! I am the only secretarial support in a University department of about 85 students and 20 faculty. I have been in this department for 5 years now and have not taken off more than one day at a time due to how extremely busy it is. In my first year, I thought I would figure out when "down time" is--guess what? NO down time. Burnout is just around the corner. In trying to figure out how better to organize myself, I found your blog. It is a wonderfu resource and I have been enjoying it very much! As I start to read some of your past posts, I am getting more and more ideas. I just don't know what I can do about WAY too much to do and not enough help. In this economy, I think many of us are feeling the pressure to perform and be grateful for still having a job, which translated means don't complain and work harder! Anyway, thanks so much for your great blog. I'll be checking back often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
