I just heard one of my tech support cohorts say tensely "He's not responding" and for some reason my mind when automatically to a House place, and I wondered what clever treatment Dr. House would come up with next.

I think I need a break, and the 11-hour-days/We're-buying-you-lunch-so-you-don't-have-to-leave-your-desk days need to end.

Watching Stewart and Matthews now. Ha!

In my high school (which was big--around 3,000 students), people got points for participating in school-related activities. The Pep Squad petitioned the student government for extra points, because keeping up school spirit was such a big job that they worked extra hours. In the next student gov. meeting, a bunch of my friends petitioned that if the Pep Squad got extra points, THEIR new club, the "Tornado Watchers," should get even more extra points, as they watched for tornadoes 24 hours a day. The pep squad got angry, there was crying and yelling and flouncing out. All in all, a great day for all of us who had no school spirit.

I have free chocolate ice cream. Nom nom nom.

Heh.

All in all, a great day for all of us who had no school spirit.

Such great days should always be cause for celebration.

Phoenix?

Phoenix?

That's what I thought. Apparently the guy in Phoenix might be Numero Uno.

We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how about you?

Why is School Spirit and Pep considered so important for schools anyway?
