Yesterday's post was "Wednesday" - it looks like I've posted consistently. Don't look too closely at the dates.

I don't want to even talk about the diet or the $50 I lost. I did blog all month, which means Storm Machine Author Icon and I earned ice cream, which is great, since I my weight loss competition is over. *Bigsmile* I wrote and delivered ONE more performance evaluation - the one that came with a surprise bonus - so I'm glad I got that done, but I still have a dozen to go. Got W2s and 1099s issued, but we're still in the process of closing the books for 2011. We do know we earned a profit, and how much, but we're not entirely sure how much we spent on office supplies, advertising, and the like. So we're cleaning that up. Spent a bunch of money on some new stuff to go with the recent renovation - lobby tables, a baby changing table for the restroom, monitors for a repeating DVD with event photos and a display telling students which room they're supposed to be in. Interviewed two acting instructor candidates and didn't hire either one, so we're back to square one there. Subbed out the wazoo for absent teachers. And I have a gig this afternoon in addition to my normal weekly gig tomorrow at Senor Patron. And I've started looking at the business plan to think about our upcoming expansion, as well as possible plans for a business for Keith. And we've been making vacation plans. And I started this: "January Editing Month PREP Challenge! " Open in new Window. [13+].

Oh! And now I need to judge the January Ohio Idol entries. I hope they don't run yet another surprise video contest before the live dates.

Whew.

It's been sixty degrees the last few days - the end of January, beginning of February. I don't know why that's relevant. It's just odd. In a very nice way.

BALANCE
Work goals:
Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window.: Pending and scheduled today sometime.
Year-end closeout: In progress.
Sign-in process for students: The display is ready, but I need a monitor/computer combo that will talk to one another (details). And I don't have a sign-in process yet. That's next on the radar.

I'm back to thinking about a database, because we use too much paper for stuff. Plus, I'm finding I need data analysis that I can't get without a lot of manual data entry. Performance metrics should just be readily available.

Writing goals
Performance Evaluations: In progress.
EdMo Prep: Done through today. *Thumbsup*
