So I am getting ready to take a shower the other morning and it was early, 6:15 or so and nobody was awake. I went to the bathroom and was about to step into the shower when I remembered I had a bottle of new shampoo out in the kitchen. So I walk out of the bathroom, and start to cross the living room where we have this big picture window and the minute I start to cross, headlights shine in. I FROZE LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS! My neighbor, Dick, who is about 85 years old was heading out somewhere and as he pulls out of his driveway his lights shine right into my picture window. So, I grab a pillow off the couch and cover myself and make my way to the kitchen. I am pretty sure he saw Naked Man! Serves my stupid ass right for walking around naked.
I am finally getting over my cold. I still am a bit stuffy and have a cough but it is a bunch better than it was and it is getting better every day. Jess has the cold too but she doesn't have it too bad. It seems that she has plenty of pep in her step but is a bit stuffy and gets grouchy pretty easily. It is either the cold or being a teen, not sure which.
Last night was beggars night and we had quite a few kids. Some years we may only have 6 or 7 kids show up. Last night I bet we had 30 or 40. Dawn buys crappy candy so I try to push it out the door. I tell the kids, take two or three. I don't want any left over. She bought Nerds and Juji fruit. I am not big on Nerds and you can only take so much juji fruit. Whatever!
Jess did her FCA thing and had a good time. Drew went out with friends. Apparently, they just walked around town and went to a teachers house that was all decorated up and had invited the kids to stop by. I think any excuse to be out and about is all they need to get together and hang out. He has a group of kids that hang out together. They are all pretty good kids so I am not too worried. He came got home around 8:15, Jess got home around 8 so it was a pretty tame night.
It is nice to be at Wednesday already. Half way through the week. I have to go to a teachers house tonight to help her setup her wireless network. I hate to do stuff like that but feel like an ass if I say no. I am hoping it just takes a few minutes and I am out. I don't even really know this teacher. At the beginning of the school year the paper publishes pictures of the staff and I keep a copy at my desk so I can see what people look like when they call. We have 340 employees and I have met them all but the ones at the elementary school are hard for me to remember. I am hardly ever in that building and they don't use technology that much so I don't have that much to do with them. Anyway, I had to look at the paper to see what this teacher even looked like after she called. I really hate going to people's house to do computer work.
Right now I don't have any meeting scheduled this week after this morning. We have a department meeting this morning and then the rest of the week I have open. That is very rare but I am very happy about it.
They hired a new business manager and it was the one I was hoping they would hire. She is coming in a few days this month to get familiar with things. I told our Superintendent to let me know when she was planning on coming so I could schedule some time with her to show her how to logon, how our email works, her folders, the phone system, etc. I still haven't heard from him. My guess is he will just call one day and say she is here and I should come down. I don't think he realizes that I do have other things to do. I guess we will see.
More tomorrow.
