And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Our wings are not tired.

Whoa! Unreal that people continued driving along next to that thing.

What is this Rambo 27? I don't think I watched the last couple.

Some kind of storm sewer backup -- there's lightning on the video. I feel especially sorry for the driver who gets caught out in the second spurt.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I'm beginning to suspect that 2008 is going to be my year of the universe's petty revenge.

Oh shrift, I hope not!

Oh shrift, I hope not!

It's only been six days, so I'm not going to call it just yet, but I'm giving 2008 the stink eye.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have to go back to work tomorrow. I don't think I want to just yet. I'm ready to start on the musical, but I don't want to teach classes. They're just a distraction to doing the play!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like crap, and may not go to work tomorrow, but I really feel like I should, since 2/3 of my staff is coming back after two weeks off and we should check in! I guess I can email and stuff. Bleh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, the new American Gladiators is on. AWESOME.

This type of situation is exactly what email was made for, IMO. You can stay home in warm slippers and a fuzzy robe and still check in with your staff. Done. Besides, you don't want to infect your coworkers.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. Ooh, especially now that we have Outlook Exchange or whatever and I can have actual access to everything, as opposed to the crap-ass webmail we were using until last month.

EXACTLY! If only my administration would realize that.

We go back to work tomorrow. We are doing 'team development' tomorrow morning. For some reason 'Draconian Dictator' thought it would be great for the faculty and staff to go to the local bowling lanes from 8:30-12:30 tomorrow. We are having breakfast and lunch there and are supposed to 'bond' while we bowl and play pool. The afternoon and Tuesday will be spent in our classrooms getting everything ready for the kids to return on Wednesday.

My stage manager and a few selected crew will be in at 12:30 tomorrow to work on set stuff. Tuesday kids will be in for rehearsal and additional tech work. Districts are in less than a month. There is so much to do. Cycling back to the statement that classes just get in the way of working on the play.
