Exhausted..
Moving details are exhausting!
I know I'm tired when the thought of not having brought my lunch today brought me to the verge of tears!
I've been taking down all the art work and bulletin boards in the halls, hauling boxes of questionable content up to be sorted through, cleaning out book cases, cabinets, and pulping confidential coursework and files. I have set a student to work erasing video and cassette tapes and 3 inch floppies with an electromagnet.
That's on top of trying to keep everyone moving forward with packing, managing the phone and data port additions and moves, processing licensure requests, ordering furniture and other necessary equipment, determining what moves and what goes, finding ways to make some stuff "disappear", and doing my regular job.
I still have to meet with the key shop but since the contractor has the wrong type of lock in all the doors I'm not sure that will be helpful. The project manager in Waldo hasn't followed through on the additional walls he promised us which is going to be problematic. The moving company needs extra time to move because they are going to have to haul everything up 4 flights of stairs (I'm sooooo glad that isn't me!). I moved the date up by two days but we may end up working the weekend too.
The project manager for Education Hall seems to think that we will be moving back in in Sept of 2011. But, this is the same person who thought we could move 56 rooms in 3 days, up four flights of stairs. Applying the same margin of error, we'll move back in in about 24 months as I originally calculated.
The departmental faculty have not chosen which of the 300+ work samples are going with us- I said we'd take 30. My student and I pulled apart about 3 dozen old ones today and it took us 1.5 hours. I can't imagine the amount of hours it's going to take to do 240+ of them. So...they'd better get a move on or we're just going to get started without them.
I'm trying to figure out how to move 20 rooms of storage into 3. And how to fit all of my desk stuff onto a much smaller desk with fewer drawers.
Add to that we have a rebellion going on about a merger that is resulting in much complaining and backbiting. One of the people I love working with is threatening to quit if she has to continue working with another, who is rather a bully. And of course I can't do anything right and everyone has to yell at me because I'm moving too fast and they aren't ready for things to be taken down or thrown away or, or, or...
I'm so overwhelmed it's not funny.
