My phone stays hot with people wanting help

I start every morning with a blank slate but that ends quickly!  People who do not know anyone else from the University know my name and number and are not afraid to call it!  I spent all day yesterday trying to find an apartment for a friend's granddaughter who decided, on the spur of the moment , to come to college!  

Another person called about raising funds and two more needed help with resumes!  These are not trivial matters!  They affect lives;  and they are meaningful opportunities to me!

Whoops!  Now I am working on getting tickets for a family to a basketball game!  Their own daughter was killed while she was on our team!
