By the way, as part of doing these staff interviews and research into ethics policies, I’m loving having access to a copy of OneNote to organize all of my notes and various other scraps of information. My only wish is that the other members of the team had OneNote as well so we could take our individual notes and combine them into one large notebook. Maybe someday…

No, not really. This week is off to a bad start all the way around. First, I don’t really feel all that good, then I get to start out my day with Staff Meeting, which is always a royal pain, but particularly when you are asked to reiterate policy and procedure that has been in…

Things have been so busy with work stuff, social events, and unplanned website issues that a number of half-finished projects are sitting around waiting for me to get to. I hate when that happens. I get stressed when I have projects that are unfinished. So, starting tomorrow (tonight’s the Dave Matthews concert) I’m going to…
