GAH!
It should be later than 2:30 on Tuesday. It's SOP day, which means it's Attention to Detail Day. I've been running around like mad giving the attendance list to four people, the attendance confirmation list (which is entirely different) to one person, the votesheets to three people, and the candidate reviews to four people. I've also alphabetized the table cards by last name, assembled 45 copies of the votesheet packets in agenda order, and remembered that I have to assemble coffee and cookies for the committee chairs while they're waiting.
So as not to be bored, I've also tracked down the list of letter writers for one committee, assembled the letters in the order they appear on the list, and given copies to three people; put together a 52-page packet for a search review committee; exported from the database and updated the list of 29 committees I'm supposed to be tracking; started scheduling two different final committee meetings; sorted my desk into three major piles (Governing Boards, Faculty Services and committee meetings); and decided to hell with the first two piles, they can wait until tomorrow.
I haven't even mentioned the two huge promotion criteria events for administrators, which are happening next week and which I'm supposed to be providing food and materials for, except nobody can tell me how many people are coming to each event, and the invitation list just expanded by about a hundred people.
Oh, and starting next week I get to go on field trips, so as to provide administrative support for the promotion criteria events at some of the affiliated hospitals. Except nobody has told me what that entails.
And every morning I look into the bathroom sink and think "Gee, that really could use cleaning." Maybe I'll get to it in April. Or March, if I'm lucky.

Oh, that's when you get to follow around the person in charge taking notes on everything they tell you. The hard part is you have to take notes with THEIR computer, which is an old Compaq Luggable that they've refused to upgrade since purchasing it back when DOS 2.0 was the hot technology.
