So this week is training. It is actually like a working vacation because i don't have any access to my computer or phone, but I am having to go around all the campuses and learn about all the colleges all over again.
It is actually a lot of fun because all of the recruiters (including our CA people) and financial aid people, and transfer recruiters are together for training. it is about 40 people so there is always someone new to sit next to and get to know or laugh with when the presentations start to lag or someone asks another question about something the presenter already covered twice!
Today we were at West and Downtown. Fun but HOT! It is supposed to be 110 degrees all week. gross.
I had a fun surprise today. I was in a meeting and my phone started buzzing. It was Margie. I couldn't answer until the end of my meeting 20 minutes later. She left a message telling me she and Dave were in Tempe for about an hour and wondered if I wanted to get together for something cold to drink. I called her back to let her know that I was actually at the Downtown Campus but was headed towards Tempe. She said they were almost Downtown for the D'Backs game! So instead of riding back to Tempe with my coworkers, I just hitched a ride on the ol' lightrail and met them at the ballpark. We got to chat and catch up for about an hour, and then they went into the game and I rode the lightrail home.
Turns out they came to town early and had lunch with Scott Thomas and his family, then drove around Tempe, and headed to the game. Happy Birthday Margie!

Thanks Casey - you helped make my day super special! It was fun to get to visit with you, and the lemonade was a nice refresher, too.
AND THE DIAMONDBACKS WON! That makes four in a row! Woohoo!
Sounds like a fun time. I didn't realize that training started so early but maybe it's not so early after all. I guess a lot of the high schools start up again in a month. It's nice not to be thinking so much about when school starts.
