Day in the Office

Yesterday was my first day back after being in Anchorage for 10 days.  I walked to work in the beautiful dark sky filled with all kinds of stars.  I actually saw two falling stars.  I got to work and noticed a pile of papers on my desk and a large box.  What could it be.  I opened the box first, new uniforms had arrived. Moose survey paperwork lay on my desk.  I looked them over.  Only one attempt at surveys in all the time I have been gone.  Well at least I may get to do one. 

Next up emails.  There were 106 emails awaiting my return.  First I deleted all the ones that meant nothing.  Had one spam that I had to forward to regional office.  Then I started answering the others.  An hour later I finished and then it was off to a meeting with the boss.  We talked about Anchorage, talked projects and made a few decisions about projects.  Another hour and half gone.  I then went to work on my grant proposals that are due in tomorrow.  I realized that I had a lot of work in front of me.   One of the grant proposal are with other parks so we had a conference call to talk about the project.  Which was completely changed by the time the phone call was over.  Back to the start for that one and I had that one finished.  Oh well.

Time to get back to writing only the boss called a department meeting.  Yeah team.  That took the rest of the day.  I hardly wrote two words and I have four proposals due by Friday.  Not good.  I was told though that the best proposals are done just under the bell.  I hope that is so.
