Hi,
I hear your pain. I do all of that and maintain our Library Portal, plus I'm
working on developing our school site's web page (can't seem to get to that
one.) I have 720 students at one school and 350 at my other school. I'm only
at the second school for 2 1/2 hours on Thursday afternoon. How do I release
stress? I swim!! I swim on a masters team at 5:30 am every morning, five
days a week, with three coaches. I average 3000 yards a day. That is almost
two miles. Without this outlet, I would be a basket case!
