La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  , worship leader , small business owner , songwriter , aspiring author and freelance nonfiction writer with a chemical engineering degree .
But that's just my resume.
My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

GAH. Losing an employee sucks. That's why people who should have been fired ages ago are still around (I know you've been wondering.) Luckily, unlike your manager, I'm not scared of a little hard work, and neither is Chris, our angel of an office manager. Unluckliy, I'm behind on my goals this week as a result of subbing, hiring, and rescheduling. Luckily, we already have almost all of the absent instructor's drum students transitioned to new teachers. Unluckily, I have to teach his two drama classes for awhile until other teachers can take them over. Luckily, that's only one month for one class and two months for the other class, totaling about a dozen hours of my time. *shrug*
Reach 300 students by 12/31/11:
* Develop a Q1 promotion & ad plan by 1/7: We tried to fill a class by offering an email promotion, and it worked! Except it didn't.  Two students who contacted us to sign up didn't actually show up, so we went from full to not full. Luckily (I keep using that word like I'm not in control of these things!), I raised the price of samplers in 2011 so that we cleared break-even on the class even with it not full.
Meanwhile, I think it's time to promote the drama program! Damn, if I'm going to spend all that time teaching those two classes, I might as well fill them with students and make some money at it. 
* Develop a summer program plan by Spring Break: Staff meeting TONIGHT! 
* Business Cards:  Delegated to a sicky chicky with whom I'll follow up when she's all healthy again.
* Vocal warm-ups CD: No progress.
Customized database by 12/31/11: Design web page interface for potential form.

For your hard work, commitment, talent and innovation in running the October NaNoWriMo Preparation each year, which helps many of us get our scattered thoughts together for November's novel-writing.
