2015-11-03 07:21:57 PM sheilabryce I'm not an AD I'm an assistant, I'm more tuned into my boss's job. Wow, she's a busy girl! I really feel for her. I think I would like to scale it down and not be in a huge facility, thats private owned. They put a lot of responsibility on her, and the hits just keep on comin! It's over flowing to our department. But, she manages it the best I've ever seen.
