Another fun week of motivating activity for CCSU. For posterity, a copy of the e-mail I sent to the University Senate ListServ is below along with the PDF of the CCSU campus statistics for those who submitted their active time!
Sorry, dear readers for the delay, but I didn’t want the Administration or my Dean to think that I have so much free time I can sit idly by running and crunching numbers when I could be filling out reports or sitting in WebEx meetings. I can 100% certify this report was generated without company property, and not on company property, but there was a knock this morning from the inventory control division wanting to scan the barcode through my front door screen.
A few observations from today’s attached PDF that I would like to bring to your attention, in no particular order:
- Welcome to the party OIRA! Three members of the division joined us this week! I’m sure our assessment committee will want a detailed justification for all minutes tallied and I defer to the chair of that committee.
- The SOBs have some explaining to do. While they increased their number of participants from 6 to 8, there are two questionable aliases used. First, one of the new participants identified as “A hardworking SoB faculty”, and we certainly know hardworking and SoB cannot be placed next to each other in a sentence. Second, is the person named Dr. Entrepreneur, Dean Farhat? I need to inform the Deans that you cannot count “reviewing P&T portfolio’s” as “minutes” towards being active. Although I bet some faculty would beg to differ as this is the most IMPORTANT and INTENSE activity…
- There are consistently (it’s only been two weeks, is that enough for consistency?) two individuals who input “Jazzercise” as their favorite activity. We need to bring these two people together and have them run a class for all of us. Or did they enter their data twice? Pish posh. I’ll just fudge the numbers.
- Many of you were very creative on the “What is your favorite activity that kept you moving this week.” There were numerous answers of margaritas, gin and tonic, eating brownies, grading, chasing snowflakes, and pillow fighting. Thank goodness some of you are not on campus with all of these shenanigans.
- I’m still waiting to hear back from Sal on the parking lot situation. If you’ve already written your two-page essay, please hold on to it.
In closing, we did more minutes than last week which I refuse to attribute to Cassandra allowing an extra 30-minutes for Mother’s. Being a parent, especially with children who need to be homeschooled while doing all the other duties cannot be measured!
The jokes write themselves. Here’s to a successful final’s week!
