So apparently, people from the other campus want to come here and schedule a meeting with three people on this campus (including me) who all work in different offices and have other work to do, in order to make sure our cover memos all look the same.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

What? Your cover memos don't match!? Damn, it's like the terroists have already won.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The weather itself is pretty modest by the standards of most of the country
I think that "weather itself" doesn't mean much. Getting your annual rainfall in the first two weeks of the year is going to mess with many places -- everything's relative.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hello, Emily. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports....

I know. We should be ashamed.
Well, except that nobody's said anything about the format of them since 1999, and I took those amendments pretty gracefully.
Man, whatever. Maybe it's just an excuse for them to get out of the office. But it did just give me an epiphany... I really don't care. I have absolutely no investment in any of this anymore. Maybe it's time I looked into leaving. I was planning on sticking around for another couple semesters, until I'm ready to student teach, but I just don't give a shit about any of the stuff I should be taking care of.

Emily, I think you can reply to such a request with three words:
1) use
2) a
3) template
I mean, hello?

Ooh, kat -- that sounds good. Will definiately catch up on Everwood over the summer. Assuming that they show repeats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, that's freaking classic. I have here on my desk a diagram of where the margins of my letter should be, including where the date and first line of the letter should fall. I didn't even need one meeting!

Well, sure. But I still reserve the right to make fun of SoCalistas for whining about bad weather because of 10 rainy days. Paying serious attention to the larger implications (floods, mudslides, etc.) is different.

Yeah. I said, couldn't they just tell us what they'd like to do? But no, apparently they want to come here. I wonder who this is that's a) making such a big deal out of it and b) talking to my boss about it instead of me -- mind you, I'm only one of the three people that does it, so it's not exactly like they're skipping over me to get in trouble. Still. Freaky.
Where's my Calgon?

Sure. But as a midwesterner who grew up in the snowbelt, I reserve the right to make fun of folks in the northeast who bitch about snow or run to the grocery to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk at the announcment of a storm.
