Today was payroll-processing day so I made a few last-second changes and clicked the "Submit payroll for processing" button. It's always a little scary. I can't take it back once I've clicked that button.

We had our December all-staff meeting today since our ED is traveling to the East Coast next week. We used to try to share the facilitating role among all the staff but decided recently to have just the few who actually enjoy it -- and help move us along the agenda efficiently -- serve in that way. Today was my turn. I do enjoy it; it helps me stay interested when topics don't directly concern me. I also don't have trouble keeping the talkative ones on track even when they're higher-ups. One of our department directors announced she's cutting back to half-time beginning in January. When she started speaking I thought she was going to say she was leaving us. I was glad to hear that wasn't true.
