spacebugHmm. So for the second day in a row, the entire office is either out, or left to have lunch, leaving me alone and prone to chaos.
Apparently, the practice room monitor never showed up today and didn't tell anyone, so I found out from a disgruntled student that no one was there and there was a huge line of music students wanting a practice room.
Great.
I called the ensemble office to help me, fortunately they found a key, and a student worker came back from running errands to relieve that person.
Meanwhile, I have no one to help me with the phones when students come, wanting to get class permissions, or have questions, or anything like that.
And I'm Hungry. Damnit.

Date: 2004-01-16 11:27 am (UTC)I have a recommended therapy for you. It goes like this: "Hey -- I don't have resources to deal with this situation.
"Oh well. Sorry."
Prioritize. If the phone rings while you're letting the students into practice room, hey, you were letting students into the practice room. Which one are you supposed to do? Find the parameters.
Let me be clear that I'm not recommending sloughing. I do work hard here. I'm just saying, don't stress yourself because your department doesn't have the forethought to provide for.
