To the Point Today

Already today has been a crazy crazy day and its only 10am. I cannot give you much in the way of my sarcastic words of inspiration as I’ve had a hard morning. What I can give you is a to-do list… so here we go, in bullet points:

• Seniors, have you signed up to get your picture taken today or tomorrow?
• Everyone who is not busy should come and help tonight for the Department Info Night.
• All volunteers need to be @ Holden Hall by 6pm, free pizza after the event is over.
• I will be out of the office attending a conference the remainder of the week. I will be reachable by email.
• Upon my return we will kick off Course Request Required Meetings.

Halloween and the candy industry supposedly influenced Daylight Savings Time.  Candy makers supposedly lobbied to extend daylight savings time into the beginning of November to get an extra hour of daylight so children could collect even more candy (thus forcing people to purchase more candy to meet the demand). They wanted it so badly that during the 1985 hearings on Daylight Savings they put candy pumpkins on the seat of every senator, according to NPR. (The candy industry disputes this account, according to The New York Times.)
