I have been pretty much MIA for the past two weeks.  I blame it on my new job and poor time management.  But mostly on my new job.  I’ve mentioned this before, but probably haven’t really explained it in full detail so I will take the time to do so now.  I am the Assistant Resident Director of Swig Hall aka the Cyphi Community.  And let me tell, you this job is a big deal.  Probably one of the most important jobs I have ever had.  It’s a promotion from my position last year as Community Facilitator aka CF (known to the rest of the world as a Resident Assistant (RA)).  Anyway, because this job requires a lot more work, the training is longer and more extensive.  So my training started on August 16th, my birthday.  And since the training (we call it formation) started, I have had very little free time.  And since I’m also doing the game on diet, a lot of that free time has been spent exercising or making sure that I find a way to get those precious seven hours of sleep.

So how am I finding the time to write this post right now?  Well, we do get weekends off.  And the CFs are coming for their training this week so that means that I get a little bit of a break.  Granted, I will play a huge role in their formation, but for now, I’m just trying to get ahead on all my work so that I can have some time to cater to my blog.  Because while blogging can be tough and time consuming, it always puts a smile on my face.  And let me tell you, after long days of learning about duty coverage and judicial sanctions, I could use a smile.

So now it’s time to share: What puts a smile on your face?  AND What are your best time management tricks?
