2017-09-05 06:13:38 PM cynkarnes76 Amccurdy: it's open ended and we rarely get a chance to talk about the calendar until it's the day before or not at all. I also work part-time so I hit the ground running when I get out of work and I don't get paid for all the countless planning etc hours I do outside of work.

2017-09-05 06:16:09 PM amccurdy Honeslty haven't thought much about Sep 11 for my residents because for a lot of them it wasn't as big for them as other world events. It obviously shook us all, but I haven't really thought about what to do for my residents.
