Team Preparation

Damien, I didn't think about recovery and such. Prevention DID cross my mind, but never thought about 'What if." And teamwork is a definite yes. We're working on that, and really the veterans are trying to keep our hands back so the rookies can get the swing of things. But yes, everyone is workign together. Or, at least, we're doing the best we can.
After having to deal with being talked down the previous year by a few folks, we're being EXTRA careful not to do that to the new guys.

Well, boiler, programming is true. Luckily, we lost one programmer to graduation, but picked up another one, so she's busy getting an understanding of the codes and such. Thanks for bringing it up, though. You reminded me I need to look at the old books myself, there.

Oh, on another note, apparently our tools were stolen during the summer, so we'll have to drive to get a few this year. But thanks for your input thus far.

It sounds as though you need to invest in some good locks and start locking places down. Cart being destroyed and tools being stolen are generally signs you arent locking up properly. Secure your stuff, even if you think no one would want it. This includes material, scrap metal is a very big business now. Just a thought.

EDIT: Make sure to go over with students that the equipment is all of yours, it is all you have and if it is stolen or broken you must do without.

Go have some fun as a team. Bowling, laser-tag,stage a lan party. All work and no play makes for one long season.
