Craziness at work

The past week has been a bit crazy at work. Last week our Women's Soccer ATC decided that he wasn't going to be able to live in Santa Barbara on what he was going to be paid and decided to quite. Mind you this whole thing went down exactly one week before Women's Soccer begins double days! So after some scrambling by the staff Women's Soccer has officially become a team effort. Our Women's basketball ATC and myself are basically becoming what we have coined "Foster parents" of the Women's soccer team till a suitable home can be found for them. We already have some great lines planned; "Go talk to your father!" and "Did your mother say it was okay?"

In the meantime we've offered the position to three people. The first one had already accepted a job, but was not going to be working with athletics, so we thought we could lure him away from there, but alas he had already moved himself and his family, so one down. The second guy had also already accepted a job, was definitely tempted, but ended up turning us down; strike two. We are waiting to hear back from guy number three tomorrow. If we strike out tomorrow then we'll be opening up this position and seeking applicants and soccer will remain in foster care.

Needless to say, on top of all that Basketball has begun conditioning and lifting again, so their keeping me somewhat busy. We are also transitioning to a computer based injury documentation system. This new computer based system kind of sucks because we have to input all the data for all our athletes into the computer. It took me the entire day to get Men's basketball done and there's only fifteen of them right now to worry about. My eyes were so dry and tired from staring at my computer screen and my contacts were not helping. I have to input Women's Soccer tomorrow which will be a feat in itself since there is over thirty of them.

Today was quite busy and definitely signaled the end of summer. Fall is starting to kick into gear. Basketball season is going to be here before I know it ready to kick my butt again. Wish me luck!
