From Subject: Report 106: 2nd week at Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:53:26 +0000 Hi All! MAKE FRIENDS WITH COLLEAGUES I would say I'm a huge hit at the office... One of my colleagues was standing with his wife and I walked up to them and said: "so you must be the mrs?" Then I turned to another colleague's wife next to them, "and you must be the 2nd mrs?" That raised a huge "NO!" from the wife and she grabbed her husband. A female colleague received flowers from Admissions because she had been in New York for a long time. When I passed by I asked: "Oh, so your husband's been very bad...?" She didn't really have a come back for that... I was in my boss's office early in the morning and I said: "Oh good you didn't get arrested last night!" A director happened to walk by and said that just didn't sound right... My boss had been buying the wine for a welcome-party for the Chancellor the night before. Alcohol is illegal so I thought it was a valid question... JOB DESCRIPTION I always thought I was responsible for DOING the tasks I was given. When I started doing the tasks I was told that of course I wouldn't do them! I would just ask someone else to do them! There are people to do everything for me! I'm just like Nokia - connecting people! Now all of is gearing up for the first Candidate Weekend next weekend. We identified the 800 top high schools in the world, then their 2 top students, out of those 1600 we chose 160 students to come over 4 weekends. We will chose 100 of those for next school year. I never thought I could be this excited over education! I had a great, fun week at work! Now I'm ready to pass out for the rest of the weekend... I hope all is well! EFTA00771468
