AAAGGGHHH!!!

Its almost that time again...the end of the summer or more commonly referred to in the world of admissions counseling, "travel season". I am the travel coordinator. I maintain the travel binder, update the travel calendar and assign fairs if a counselor is double booked. On top of this, I arrange my own travel. Travel has been stressing me out this year, bigtime! One of our counselors turned from a regular counselor to a transfer only counselor (which totally pisses me off, but that is a completly different post) creating not only more travel for each counselor, but more overlap travel that I need to deal with. In addition to this, one of my dear friends is leaving our office and moving to CT. Since we are in a hiring freeze, this necessitates a counselor in the office at all times (as if we didn't all have high school visits, evening fairs, etc. that we need to plan around as well). With everyone out of the office, I'm not sure how folders will be read until November! New transfer counselor of course is escaping all of this stress because she of course only does transfer work now. Nice!

After the beginning of September, please don't plan to talk to me until I return from Disney World. Because of course, I won't even be home for the two weeks prior! Excuse me now so that I can figure out how close two night fairs are.
