Monday Monday


Ordering textbooks is not brain surgery BUT sometimes all the intricacies of figuring out what to order, how much to order and when to discard something and satisfy corporate, my director AND the faculty can be overwhelming. I know we have fhe at the church tonight at 7pm but I didn't get a program so I don't know what we're doing. They announced it in RS BUT they didn't say what we're doing.

I'vc ordered just about everything but I still need to figure out what the medical dean wants me to do about her workbooks. Textbook companies want to make money which is why they frequently print new editions. Also academia is plagued by the publish or perish syndrome. We have 2011 textbooks that are already out-of-print. This wouldn't be a problem but for this class she needs workbooks the students can write in. Now there are 2012 and 2013 workbooks.

I'm not sure what'll happen with this yet and what the dean wants to do. She is on break now but should be back any time now. I think I should wait in her office and try to catch her before her class.
