I
am a dot my i’s and cross my t’s kind of gal, so it is no wonder why I was put
on this most recent and tedious duty.
There are about 200 employees in the district and I have been tasked to
go through each and every file and make sure that all of them have the
necessary forms and that they are dated and signed by all parties, etc.
For
most people this would seem monotonous but I don’t mind it mostly because I
know that it will make my job easier when in the future I have to update files
and I will already know if we have the most current transcript or evaluation or
job description. I liken it to having a
clean work area or supply closet. When I
first began working for the district the supply closet was a horrendous
mess. I had difficulty finding even the
most basic supplies, like pads of paper or markers, without digging around and
climbing over items. It was a dirty task
and nobody wanted to do it.
Knowing
that all of our time was valuable, and not wanting to waste my time searching
for needed items, I took it upon myself to spend an afternoon and clean up the
closet. It was a good decision because
now I, as well as everyone else, can go in there and grab whatever is needed in
mere seconds.
So
I will spend a few mornings going through files and compiling lists knowing
that it isn’t all for naught.
