Busy, Busy Redux

Dear Faithful Readers,
My apologies, but I just looked at the calendar in the menu bar to the left, and saw how many days it has been since I have posted. I am still alive and well, but extremely busy. My job as an RA has been particularly time consuming after the wrath of Hurricane Ivan. Requests for access to 1 of 10 storage rooms (one of which had 100's of bags in it, and I am required to stay with the person until they find their stuff, which sometimes can take hours), checking people in, and a stack of work orders an inch thick. And unfortunately, not everyone is all that considerate - knocking on my door for non-emergent issues at midnight or later. After this week though, it should be much smoother. (At least, hopefully.)
And thanks to the efforts of my mother, I was finally reunited with my luggage. I just didn't have time, a telephone that worked, or any phone numbers, so therefore it was easier to track down my bags from the states. They arrived in Grenada on Tuesday, and when I called the airline (LIAT), they said that they did not deliver the bags, and that I would have to go pick them up (despite what USAir said.) Anyways, after about 2 hours of speaking to various people, getting various approvals, I was allowed to drive one of the school's 14-passenger mini-buses (as an RA, and a University employee) to go pick up my luggage. So instead of paying 50EC (about $23) for a 5 minute taxi ride, I ended up only paying 2EC (about 80cents) for parking.
Well, here comes another storage request - I will try and update more regularly as things calm down work-wise.

You sound busy! Hopefully it will calm down after everyone gets checked in. You still have a little time to relax before classes start, or? Put a sign on your door that says you´re not there or closed for business or something after midnight, so that no one bothers you anymore:-)
