Four days in, and things are going well - Next week might be a bit more difficult, but to be honest, I can't complain. I've been idle for 3 months, so just moving and doing is a treat for me at this point.
Having 117 kids to cook for, for an entire week, 3 meals a day is challenging, and anything can (and usually does) go wrong from time to time.
I have to say, I'm SO jazzed to have them here. I know I'll be singing a different story come June, but for now - bring it, I'm ready.
And in that light, what better way to start my day than some awesomely loud Metallica?
I love this song, and it needs to be listened to at ear-bleeding volume
We're in the three week push to open.
By March 17th we've got to have this place up and running, and the list of things to be done is ominous.
On my end, I'm ready - we've got weekend groups before the major opening, so anything that I had to do is already done. I'm feeling pretty confident in my help - they're both capable and efficient, something they proved to me last weekend, so no worries there.
I still have some inventory to do and paperwork (which is pretty involved!). The bulk of the work falls on the two Kevin's. Holt still needs to be finished, Mitchell still needs to be cleaned and finished, Batch has to be shoveled out and opened up, Judson needs to be opened up lol...the list just keeps getting bigger!!!
It's looking like there's going to be some serious snow still on the ground when the enviro-teachers come, and that'll be fun (not) imagine 100+ kids tromping mud through the RA (ugh), the access road has been blocked off because it's also mud pit at this point, and probably will be until April or May - Deliveries aren't going to be happy about that, but they're going to have to deal with it.
So, in light of all of this, I've got to get my butt in gear and get to work.
