Summer Staff Selection is ended. Woo-hoo!

I know it's been ages, but now my summer staff has all been interviewed and selected. What a relief! Even though I will only be with them until June 30th, it is an extremely personal thing to pick a staff, especially for the summer.

Summer staff teams tend to be much more laid-back and close-knit than during the academic year, just because most of their other friends are gone and there is more time on their hands so they end up really getting to know each other well and hanging a lot more than they do when they're all taking 18 hours and planning 4 programs a semester and all the campus activities are running full-tilt and there's Rush to worry about (Ahem! Recruitment, I meant to say) and work-study hours to complete...Well, you catch my drift, anyway. Plus, we tried really hard to select an equal combination of reslifers and non-RAs for the Summer Assistant staff.

I think we did very well, and just by the virtue of their work habits, my successor will be left with a cake job! I've already done (or am currently in the process of doing!) all the hard stuff! By the time July rolls around, even Orientation will be done. Man, I am good!!!

But now I have to run and work on all the stuff that got ignored for a week so that could be done. The cycle of ugliness (a.k.a. work) really never ends, does it?
