Just another Monday

Monday in the office, and all was pretty much standard for a day in the Haines office. I went in knowing that I had reviews of some curriculum that needed to get done this week, and sooner than later, but somehow between the phone ringing and emails piling into my box, I didn't even touch my to-do list for the day until close to 2pm

I woke up this morning and saw the clouds hanging out just above all the roof tops, typical Haines. However, over the course of the day things cleared up pretty significantly and it turned into quite the bluebird day!

A bunch of the newer staff are starting to roll into town this week, and in an effort to get them oriented to life in Haines and AK in general, the other full-timers and I took them to dinner and a few games of pool. I think the crew is still going strong out there, but I have a conference call at 9am central (6 am Alaskan time) so I'm trying to wind down for the evening. 

In other Haines news, the Fireweed (my favorite Haines eatery) opens on Thursday for dinner, so it's already in my calendar to be in attendence to order up one of Lisa's wonderful pizzas for the first time this season.
