OM (Organize Me) IV: Time Record... try it again

The last time I tried a time record for work, I got sick. And what do you know, my nose is still quite stuffy.

But I'm trying again anyhow. This will be a weird week since it's Channukah, but every week is weird some way. Since I have Friday off this week (before New Year's), I'm starting with last Friday.

So far I have:

Friday - 6 hours
Sunday - 6 1/4 hours

for a total of 12 1/4 hours

and an average of 6 1/8 hours per day.

I usually like to go out and enjoy the silence of XMas. There's something peaceful about all the Christians doing their thing, like what a Shabbat could be if the streets slowed down a little, but I forget that I'm no longer a complete minority. Went to the woods today for a desperately necessary break and the first family I saw was definitely Jewish. I think the Nature Center was open too. I was supposed to volunteer but have let my boss (who is also Jewish) know that though I've been out sick all month, I'm going to be out more because I'm so swamped with work. It's anecdotal season. That means report cards, but we write them out in paragraph form. Two pages each. So as I mentioned this to a friend today, and the fact that I have 36 kids to write for, she mentioned that's over 70 pages.

Yipes.

Good thing my assistant is doing the math portion and I've got a couple of specialists doing reading on the kids they work with.
