Well, apparently, I’m a day ahead of myself! Oops – I hope you enjoyed tomorrow’s Wednesday Words a day early. Ha!

Have you ever thought about how nice it would be to have a personal assistant? Someone to keep track of your calendar, run errands, etc.? I think it might be nice for a while, but my independent streak might get the best of me. There are times when I begrudge busy work (like driving to campus just to pick up a letter from a dean because I don’t have a student worker or assistant anymore who can go and do it for me), but then, I don’t really mind getting out of the office for a few minutes, either. So, I can’t really complain.

The calendar thing, though – that would be wonderful. Perhaps then, I wouldn’t forget that I bought a ticket for a luncheon an hour before time to head over there! Thankfully, a) I ran into a friend in the hallway who asked if I was going, and b) I didn’t make conflicting lunch plans. Perhaps also, I would realize sooner than the afternoon before that the two 1st graders have a book report due the next day. Thankfully, their “reports” consist of three sentences describing the story, so we managed.

These are the tongue-in-cheek things that I point to when people say, “I don’t know how you do it.” I just laugh and say, “Apparently, I don’t always do it well!” 🙂
