Well, today has been a very busy day. We started off the day with several different things that we knew we needed to get done for the day. This included writing a piece of legislation as well as working together with the counties and cities in order to make sure that those with mental retardation and developmental disabilities receive fair treatment.
We started out the day only to have several of the legionnaires who are working in the court section come by and tell us that we needed to let someone go so that they could go work in the courts. Apparently the courts did not have enough people to cover all of the clerk and bailiff positions. The thing that stinks about this is that MRDD is supposed to be the 5th largest department in the state and we only had 4 people to start with. Now we are down to three, and things have been crazy, but I think we are starting to get settled in to an extent.
A very funny thing for many of you though, I am the one in charge of the budget, payroll, and paying the bills. It has been going all right, except for the fact that we are going to need twice the amount of money that we were budgeted. Oh well, it is a lot of fun, and I am getting to run all over the place. I will talk to you guys later.

This is me pianoboy, I'm a highschool student who loves music, worshipping God and a lot of other stuff. I come from a large family and wouldn't have it any other way. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet, we'll have to wait and see

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun! I would have loved to do something like that. I did a project in college for MRDD. We designed a computer system for them. Got room in your budget for that? You may be able to raise funds in the community. Have more fun!
Fundraisers are a good idea. Although isn't that like most things....you need twice what you have to get it all done??? :) Glad you're doing so well.
Well, being in charge of budget can be hard but at the same time worthwhile. Just don't go into debt... it can be excrusiating to get out of (Lakeside is a prime example)
haha, money is the hardest thing to manage sometimes. Amazing how fast it goes, no?
hope you're having fun!!
i hope you had fun at the state fair..well talk to sunday.patty
