Bad News
Gas prices are the lowest they have been in years! So why is that bad news... well I made two trips to Grand Rapids this week, one to drop my laptop off, and one to pick it up. You might say, but I expected to have to make those trips... well yes I did... but I also expected my laptop to be FIXED!

This was not even the lowest I saw!

The green screen funky thing.

So today it crashed a couple times. Did some weird funky screen thing, crashed again, and then refused to start. My keys light up though... but I would trade for my old broke keys and working computer right about now...

To top off the day, the internet went down at Albion. How does a school lose internet? They have no back up, how can you run a business and not have a back up internet solution? It makes no sense to me and I raved about it all day. So instead of my usual work, chat, work, email, work, chat.... I only could do work. So I started cleaning out this big grey filing cabinet in my office... SCARY!

The night ended cool though. It was my office holiday party. We ate, exchanged gifts (I got a Bodum!) and just relaxed. It was a lot of fun, and after Jenn came over and we watched Van Wilder. Now I am getting ready for bed, and thinking about how bored I am going to be tomorrow with no internet at work. It is not set to be fixed until tomorrow afternoon.... AH...

Classic
Another classic Epsilon retreat, no doubt. We had a blast, we did some fun new things, and of course covered the classic traditions like Plaka Cafe, Golden Griddle, and hitting up the mall. We all got to know each other better. I was reminded how little interaction I have had with the younger guys, and I loved connecting with them more. We ended the retreat with an Ad Hoc meeting in my living room and talked about some vitals issues that are holding back our chapter's success. In time... we will be a powerhouse once again.

I will be posting pictures very soon. We had a sweet room at the Hilton right on the water, we could see Detroit across the water and it was great when snow fell on Sunday morning. I was able to tap into the resources of being a meeting planner with the Hilton (my new business idea) and hooked up a cheap room rate for us. More perks coming soon. More pics of this weekend coming soon, my laptop is in the shop again... yes again... and once I get it back I can post all the pictures.

This week back to the grind, getting a lot done since the students are gone. I have a ton of receptions and dinner parties for work which is cool and will break up the time on the computer working on policies, forms, and websites.

Anyhow more coming soon... and what happened in Canada...
