Week 4 - Administrative Work - Rachel

Hours: 6.5

What kind of administrative/office work do you do? How much time do you spend?

1. I interview Julia Hurlow on Monday night at McConn.

2. Roughly 15 hours total:
- Budget and making purchases for the snack shops, etc.
- Office paperwork
- Taking care of correspondence with parents and others
- Doing contact work
- Staff meetings - 5 hours
- Planning
- Overseeing discipleship group

3. Julia said that it's funny to take a look at everything you do on paper. It makes you realize just how much you have to do. I asked her if she thinks about when she sleeps and eats when she sees that kind of thing. She laughed at me and said, "Ya, kinda."
I know that it is important to keep track of your hours. I know that you need to keep busy while on the job, but it's also important to protect the personal/alone time you have for yourself as well.
