Drowning in 2 feet of water

That's kinda like the feeling I have right now, but not exactly. Things are going very hurried here at TechBoston. It's almost like a law firm. A small team doing a lot of really impactful hings throughout the city always hustling and bustling around to handle theirs. I literally have ben all over the city and it's only Tuesday! I am far from having a true grasp on everything on which I need to stay on top, hence the drowning reference. Hopefully, I can step my organizational game up enough to keep pace and not lag behind in the race for efficiency.

Had a few issues getting into the wireless LAN today, so I had to go ahead and sit through the XP service pack 2 update....which is what I AM STILL WAITING for to complete right now. Anyways...last wek wen by fast. I toured all the key people to touch base with with Ronnie's inroductory prefaces. So now the reigns are in my hands. I must say that he's done quite a job in the short 8 months that he's been at the helm. Defnitely daunting to ill in his footsteps, but some folk think I am way qualified for the job, so I just need to make good on that perception. Wait a minute...note to self...I got this, son. Had to redirect the self-doubt that crept in there for a second.

So this week, it's off to the races. I completed my move (residential) over the weekend, returned from old employer's laptop (mental), and even got misty-eyed on sunday with the li'l shorty on the phone (emotional). Next steps....get a handle on what students have what skills and and who is currently over- and under-booked. This is in addition to the meetings that coninue to pop up, the interviews that have to take place for the CIO project, and the weekly after-school session.

Gimme a month...I should be coasting by then sans the buterflies, T-angst, and disorganized portfolio.
