This morning I drove around campus for a good 20 minutes before finding an empty parking space. Because the campus is bordered on the north by the Erie canal and on the south by a school campus, its shape is long and narrow. Parking is limited and students, who tend to arrive with few minutes to spare before class, "hover" in the middle of parking lots. When a spot opens up, they strike.
I won't miss trying to find a parking spot, or paying $80 a semester for a pass.
I gave my notice a few weeks ago but agreed to keep working, on a limited basis, until a new Business Manager could be hired.
I will miss working in the same building as a Barnes & Noble bookstore, KFC, pizza shop, and coffee shop. This morning I popped into the bookstore and found a book by Susie Orman for just $3. Wouldn't she be proud of me for saving money over full retail price?!
I registered for a free conference here on campus. It takes place next Thursday and we'll be hanging out with "Mrs. Huxtable", actress Felicia Rashad.
I'll miss the fact that I can blog at work in a quiet, windowless basement, with few to no interruptions. Isn't that "few to no interruptions" part priceless?!
