1. Learn absolutely everything about the job in 5 days. Or not! Budgeting, ordering materials, scheduling staff, payroll functions, institutional policy, recognizing the "problem children"...I could go on, but WHY?
2. Come into the tail end of the budget year and have to spend about a zillion dollars in 2 weeks. Nice problem to have, I suppose, but what do I GET?!
3. Sit in on a board meeting visited by (demented) concerned citizens who rave on for half an hour about how things were better before you started the job. Pitchforks and torches optional!
4. Freak OUT.
5. Repeat on Monday.
6. Remember a wise friend's advice: "Use discipline and common sense and it will be 'all good in the 'hood!'"
