Good Afternoon,

No job is perfect. Sometimes necessity demands that we devote an inordinate percentage of our time to the least enjoyable aspects of our job. For me, the past 6 weeks have been like that.

Dealing with certain personalities can be draining. But, allowing others to negatively affect our performance or our attitude is a losing proposition. I am not always successful, but I try to use these times to improve my performance in those areas: I try to live above negativity and personal agenda.

Anyway, I hope to be out and about more often within the next two weeks. I look forward to seeing you and seeing the improvements in your institutions and operations.

Thank you for your hard work.
