Well, it happened. I am now Interim Director of the Athens Area Homeless Shelter. I am happy about that, but trying not to let excitement slip into stress. Yesterday morning I got an email from the Board President, Beth, asking to meet with me. She came about 1:15 and we talked about some of the things that need to happen while there is no director. She assured me that I was welcome to apply for the permanent position, but they are hriing a recruiter from Atlanta to find someone, since they have had so much trouble. The treasurer will sign checks in the meantime, starting tomorrow. Beth and I are meeting again on Wednesday to talk about personnel issues. I told her I was not willing to work full-time, I thought a lunch break was important, and I was planning to be gone for a week in October. I also said I needed a raise. We did not discuss the amount.

I left about 4, played racquetball, and was home by 6ish to make dinner.
