The day before - Getting ready

I finally have a job (Director of Business for a college) after looking for 45 days. Unfortunately it is in California. Who would have thought that I would have a Arizona house and now a California home. I have to meet with the school president and others on Thursday - 9/18 to sign papers and give a presentation

There are so many things to remember before leaving and I will even be traveling light!! I took the car to be serviced - oil change, check the tire pressure, etc and I found I have some hoses leaking plus I need a new air filter, top the fluids, flush the radiator, etc. This is a setback time and money wise. Now I am waiting for the auto service to call. I hope they have it ready before they close today.

While I was waiting I created the presentation for Thursday. It is a job aid on the Microsoft Office ribbon for Office 2007. I just needed a quick 10 minute presentation to show my teaching skills and I figured this would be the easiest one to discuss.

The lawn service workers have finally installed the water system and new flowers and palm trees in front of the house. Other plants had died previously because the previous lawn service had turned the water down so low. They do this just as I am leaving so others in my family who are staying in AZ can enjoy them and I can't. Oh well, such is life.
