Yup, it’s that one day that’s a command again!\u00a0 March 4th.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And today I feel like I need to power through with contest stuff… this year has been eerily quiet as I’ve been getting geared up, which has been really nice.\u00a0 I know part of the reason is because the longer I do this the easier it gets.\u00a0 I know what steps I can start earlier, and shortcuts, and who my dependable people are, etc.<\/p>\n
But this year is also the first year we’ve switched to doing the whole finals schedule via computer system scheduling.\u00a0 And for the MOST PART it’s worked like a charm.\u00a0 Except for this really annoying glitch that we’ve discovered that accidentally schedules a non winning student into the final and somehow takes out a winning student.\u00a0 It’s the strangest thing… and I know it’s a computer glitch because it’s too specific and random to be human entered.\u00a0 Either way, it’s making my life a nightmare right now. For every accidental entry I have to go through my six piles of separate folders\/paper and eliminate that student and then I have to figure out a way to add in the student that should have been there the whole time… again back into the six piles of folders\/papers.\u00a0 So for every phone call like that I end up making 12 tedious corrections.\u00a0 Every time the phone rings or I get a new email I silently cringe…<\/p>\n
Ah, well.\u00a0 It goes with the job, right?\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
