New School Year

July 19th, 2010 at 11:43 pm

There's something about the back to school sales that put me in the back to school frame of mind.

Fortunately I don't need to buy notebooks and pens and paper, but I need to gear up and think about what I'm going this year.

My job has changed and I'm delighted. I will be working with a lot of data. Hopefully my work with data and sharing it with staff will help them.

Sometimes we are data rich and although it sounds like a good thing, but if the data doesn't tell us anything, it's like eating too many candy bars. They were good at first, but boy, what a silly thing to do!

I am getting excited and thrilled as the school year approaches! It's like a New Year with all kinds of hopes and dreams!

    While my kids don't agree, I always loved going back to school as a kid. Shopping for supplies, organizing my backpack and locker. The smell of paperbacks and sharpened pencils. I loved it.

    I still love back to school, even if my kids are less than thrilled. I have always had a thing for office supplies.

    Here the school year starts in the New Year. I too loved shopping for new school supplies. I think I might go a little crazy and get some cool stationery supplies from Smiggle if I get accepted into uni. Not entirely neccesary... I know... Big Grin

    NJDebbie...August 18th is the actual start date for every school but one in our district which is a year round school. I will be between 4 schools this year, including the year round one and teachers start this Friday at the year round so that's when I start.

    Whitestripe...hope you get good news!
