Quarterly Enrollment Meeting

Last week I got to go up to Salt Lake for a couple days with my team from work for our Quarterly Enrollment Meeting. We had meetings and trainings all morning so the fun began as soon as lunch hit. We had a HUGE BBQ at the park across the street from the SLC office. After we scarfed down our food- we took a "family" photo and the games began.We were broken up into teams of 6 and faced off against eachother in the gruesome games of:

tug-o-war

water bucket relay

suck it up (moving m&m's from one bowl to the other with a straw)

potato sack racing

basketball bubbles (blowing bubbles through a hulahoop)

Our Team won 4 of the 5 events including best time for tug-o-war! I knew my thunder thighs had some reason for existance!

At the end of the meeting it was the awards ceremony for the relay games and for Top Enrollment Counselors for the Quarter. They usually break it up into tenure but now they've thrown us all into the same arena... no categories- just every man for himself. I was announced as 4th place. As I'm walking up to greet my manager and accept my award, the following is read aloud to all of my co-workers in utah.

..................................."Erin Burk is reliable, I know when I ask her about a student or ask her to call a student she ALWAYS follows through. I can give her my most prcious lead and I know they are in good hands. I've listened to her on the phone and she blows my mind by the way she expresses care and concern for each and every student. Erin has cool nicknames like "Broph" and "Burk". She's witty and funny and has the best come-backs. I'm also amazed by the way she can consume cake-balls and brownie batter (it's like she is a crack addict-amazing!)" -St. George Campus Staff Members

Oh well isn't that nice of them! Last time they called me a shark and this time it's a crack addict? Should I really be working with these people!?! So yes- that was read to EVERYONE outloud, I got pretty red in the face but knew they speak the truth... I freaking love brownie batter. Just ask my husband... he knows he is not allowed to EVER lick the bowl. He promised me he wouldn't the day he married me- I'm a lucky lady :)
