Graduation was last Saturday and with the exception of a very small summer term group all the students have packed up and gone. I think there might be one dormitory open and that's only because the baseball team is playing in their regional tournament. Both the campus deli and the dining hall have closed. One could find more food in Mogadishu than on this campus.
The student workers in the administrative offices have left the buildings. I'm guessing those functions have dramatically slowed. Coaches, who are always out and about, have taken that term to a new level this week. Strangely there was a crime reported very near the campus over the weekend. Someone must have decided to beat themselves up.
I love it. At least I do right now. It's because I'm getting a lot more work done in a day than when everyone was here. After fifteen weeks of dealing with mostly with recruiting (a drag) I'm finally able to start writing policies and procedures and plan my lessons for rules education. In other words I'm starting to get at the primary work I was hired to do.
It can be intimidating because there is a lot to do and for the most part I have to find my own way. But that's also sort of pleasant because I'm blazing my own trail. No doubt I will step into some manure along the way but it has to beat the turmoil that my buds in my former company are going through. Today I had exactly one phone call and I missed it so it turned out to be a phone mail. I think I received three emails in eight hours. Hell I used to get three emails a minute at my old employer.
Best of all I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm not totally over my cold but I'm close. I'm thinking about working out in the school's weight room tonight. It's been ten days so I'll take it easy. A brisk two mile walk and maybe some time on the elliptical. I've learned that my age doesn't take kindly to hard exercise after a cold as bad as this one has been. I'm pretty sure there won't be anyone around because there hasn't been all week.
Maybe I'll strip off the shirt and admire my bod in the mirror. Probably not. I could if I wanted to though. School's out for summer.

You know perfectly well that if you take off your shirt and actively admire your bod in the mirror that someone, anyone, is going to walk in and catch you. Happens every time.
