Monday

I can’t believe I needed a nap.  Will this never end?  Four years into this job, and this year continues being horrible.  How am I ever supposed to get anywhere if all my energy is required just to get through the damn workday? I will NOT be defeated!  I will be published, I refuse to […]

Birthday?

Well, yeah, okay.  It just kind of caught me by surprise.  That’s not where my focus is right now. But it was cool.  One of the office ladies gave me a lovely little teapot planter with mini-roses in it.  Lots of people dropped by with good wishes. And, of course, when I left work it

Three bathrooms suffered some sort of nasty back-up and the nurse’s office and two hallways had to be closed.  One of the affected toilets was ours… Our office manager, who never misses

Where Are They Coming From?

And don’t go giving me a biology lesson, either.  I know that part. I got about six kids today, and more starting tomorrow.  I don’t get it.  Why the rush?  Is someone passing out free tuition coupons?  No one has tried to redeem one.  (no, we don’t charge tuition.  We also don’t have an unlimited
