Like most of us, I have been on Katrina Overload. Watching TV, reading stories on the internet, etc. about the devastation and the aftermath of it. Since much of my life revloves around sports, I have found yet another link to it. This has to do with Tulane University.
The school announced over the weekend that it will not be open for a fall semester, but that its sports teams will compete. I though about how this would work, only to realize that their student-athletes will be taking classes at other institutions. It got me thinking about what a nightmare this would be. I have enough problems coaching at one school and teaching at another.
I read into this story further and came to find what a logisitcal mess every business along the Gulf coast must be. Not only are people trying to pick up the pieces of their personal lives from the storm, but their employer comes into it. I was reading on the Tulame site all the problems with distributing paychecks and receiving information about medical benefits.
The problems there only seem to compound, especially for business owners and managers of businesses. They have at least twice as much to worry about...amazing!
I think this lessens the problem we have about practice being at 3:15 and Melissa having a meeting until 3:45!
