The calm before the storm, the head honchos, and Tony Moore.

It has been a fantastic week in the mailroom. Everyone is excited for Thanksgiving break, and the amount of mail has been what we like to call, "the calm before the storm" of the holiday season that will begin the first day back from break. Students tend to get an early start on bidding on eBay, thus we get more packages to sort. Thanks guys!

Also, a quick shout out to Conferences Services on the third floor of the Owens Center, a.k.a. the head honchos of the Mailroom, who are the newest followers of the blog. No pressure now, right guys? Thanks to Hannah, they found out about it in a meeting this week, although Emma [the wonderful lady who sits at the desk when you first walk in and answers the phone when you call and gives you treats when you are sad and always greets you with a smile] has been a follower for a while now, the rest of the crew are quite fresh to this arm of the Mailroom. Don't worry guys, we'll do a segment on you after the break, and even more of a concern that has come up... who will continue the blog next semester?!  ... Never fear! I'm currently finding a replacement.

Ian has been taking the time to learn the odds and ends of the closing shift. First we started with the basics, but yesterday we let him have a handle on 'Betty'... Although she had a tough day and Enrollment Services had a much larger amount of mail than usual... Let's take a look at Ian as he attempts to do presort. 

But... 2 years ago when the "more experienced" members of the mailroom were being trained... this is the mess that we made up...

So, things are definitely looking up.

Tonight, you will be able to catch members of the Mailroom at Exposure, Simpson's very own film festival, and an evening of looking good in formal attire.

Hannah will be going, single. We think that she has some sort of plan to meet one of the visitors. 

Tyler will also be going single... so ladies, if you're looking for a last minute date, Tyler accepts gifts or any girls that will dress up like Jaymee Dee.

AND TONY IS CURRENTLY OUT OF TOWN FOR CROSS COUNTRY. HE'S A CHAMP.

Here is an excerpt from the Simpson University Athletics Website.

"CEADERVILLE, Ohio. - Simpson's men's cross country team traveled to participate in the NCCAA Cross Country Championships hosted by Cedarville University on Saturday, Nov. 12. The meet took place at Elvin R. King Cross Country course.

The team competition went to Malone University, who had five runners finish in the top eight. Cedarville University finished in second place, and Cal Baptist took third. The Red Hawks finished in 20th place overall. Malone University's Anthony Migliozzi, who turned in a time of 25:00, set the individual pace. The first Red Hawk to finish was Tony Moore who finished 30th out of the 209 runners with a time of 27:04."
