Happy Friday! Here’s last week’s highlights (July 31-August 6, 2023)!
Monday, Rob and I had lunch with Alex at the Savahn Thai Kitchen. Always enjoy my time with that boy.

I have really been struggling with sleeping some nights. Maybe products from
TopShelfBc might help. Last Tuesday I ended up having to go into work later because I was just so dead when the alarm went off. I made myself breakfast before heading into work.

I’m in a search committee chair for an open position that I supervise in my department. My 1st time chairing a search committee. Last week, we did Zoom interviews for the candidates for the open position in my department. Here I am waiting on the committee to pop into the Zoom room.

There is a new Target on College Street, which is the main street in the Auburn downtown area. I found it odd there’s this truck that drives mainly down College Street advertising. I’ve seen these in big cities, but never in our little town.

My back was on fire after picking up all these pine cones in our yard. Of course, it stormed the day after I picked them up.

This was the sky after that storm.

How was your week?
What did you do with all the pinecones? They look pretty just sitting in the wheelbarrow. I was thinking they would be great sprayed with some cinnamon oil!! Mmmmm.
Hope you find the right person for the job in your department. That is kind of nerve-racking interviewing folks. I often sat on interview committees at school and I enjoyed meeting all of the people and listening to their answers to our questions but then we had to all agree on which candidate we liked best. I often felt like there are people who just say the right things – talk the talk – but aren’t necessarily the best people for the job.
That sky after that storm looks both scary and oh so cool; almost like it is on fire! LOL. I have never seen those driving billboard signs in a small town area before.
