We managed to avoid the “swine flu” H1N1 virus in summer camps at K-State (to the best of my knowledge). Now that class is back in session for 1 day, we have at least 2 cases. KU has 30 cases after its 3rd day of class. I made the connection at the floor meeting that I work at the front desk in a way that interacts with almost every resident who walks through the doors at night. My plan right now is to stock up on hand sanitizer and make use of it often. Beyond that, I’m just going to rely on my wicked good looks and awesome luck to get me through the next few months.
In other news, because of previous failures to hire new desk workers, there are currently only 8 people who are supposed to fill 220 hours per week. That’s an average of 27.5 hours per week per person (and we also have to go to class, eat, and sleep). The new administration has made significant changes to the desk layout, but the actual policies are remarkably the same as before. It’s just really hard to do the same thing when everything is in a different place, including me. I’ve decided to wait until the end of the week to give the new layout a try, and then I’ll be requesting that we make some changes to improve the layout of the desk. I think that this should be enough that I don’t complain about anything just because it is different.
