Once again today I wondered how the division head managed to not drown in the shower.

Today's version of "Guess that Office Product" went like this:

Division Head: "I need some ....manilla folders."

Me: (realizing this can't be as easy as that) "Do you mean file folders?"

Division Head: "No, those folders with the clamps on them....that you put things in." (she also mimed that part).

Me: (moment of confusion where I know she's not asking for the folders we use for personnel, that's too advanced.) lightbulb! "You mean manilla envelopes?"

Division Head: "Yes! with the clamps."

Unfortunatly we didn't have any manilla envlopes with the prong closures so I had to get those from somewhere else.

Aimee, yes really. My mom is coming in the night before, so I'll even have backup!

What's the time frame?

Uh...from like 7:45 ish to 3:00 ish.

I have to share this story, I hope it livens up your day like it did mine.

My friend's 8 year old daughter was Jango Fett for Halloween. They arrived at one house to be greeted at the door by a Darth Vader of the same approximate size and age complete with Darth Vader Voice Changer Mask. In all seriousness Darth says "we meet again, Mr. Fett". My friend said he laughed so hard other parents on the sidewalk were staring at him.

No problem. We can work out the details later this evening. Kisses.

And on that note, I am so outta here. No more yucky work for me.

Well, except the grading and parent emails I'll be doing tonight.

Darth says "we meet again, Mr. Fett

That would have made me collapse in laugher too. Very cute.

I bought brownies to make brownie sundaes for dessert, and it is all vw's fault.

I cracked up when he told me. It was just so cute and funny. It still makes me crack up.

EtA: I had ice cream after lunch but now I want a brownie sundae in the worst way. I'm going to have to settle for a banana 'cause that's all we've got in the house but man, I'd kill for a brownie sundae. Damn this having kids thing and having to make a "good impression". I swear if it was just me, I'd be copying vw and having a brownie sundae for dinner.

Yes, let's blame vw! I'm sure it's her motivation that seduced mine into hieing off to the Virgin Islands.

No fair blaming a woman while she's asleep and can't defend herself!

More to the point, no fair talking about brownie sundaes when I can't have one!
