Questions/Comments/Concerns : I know that you are overbooked and have a lot of things on your plate right now, and I feel like I shouldn’t say anything about it as a result, and yet it has had such a great impact on my personal life that I feel like I must.  I find it extremely frustrating that we don’t get schedules until Sunday or Monday.  I have found it even more frustrating not having a weekend schedule in advance of the actual month; I have two big events that I need to plan for weekends in April and I’ve been unable to because I still don’t know which weekends I will be working.  
If there is something that we can do to take something off your plate, I hope that we can.  Can the opener be responsible for refreshing the iPads in the morning?  Can one of us do Circle Time?  Milk and Bookies?  Any of the many programs that you do outside APL?  I hate seeing you have so much on your plate knowing that I’ve got off desk hours that could be put to better use.  I know that some things are specific to your job, but I’m hoping that some are not and could be passed along.
