Gud, sorry about the house. What are you going to do?

Sorry Suzi.

Indian Hill?

Ha! Sorry, I thought I put it in there. Anderson Township, way to the southeast of you. It's about a 35-40 minute drive, apparently. Probably not the absolute furthest away, honestly, but pretty durned far.

No way! Nah, from Northside it's maybe 20-25 minutes, depending on where exactly in Anderson Township. My dad lives in Mt. Washington, which is just to the west of Anderson Township, and my mom and stepdad live in Withamsville, which is about 10 minutes to the east of Anderson. (I also grew up out that way, so I probably know exactly where your in-laws live, but I don't want to be creepy as hell, so I won't ask. But yeah, I know Anderson Township pretty damn well.)

t edit There are definitely places that are further away from Northside while still being considered part of Cincinnati (whether "greater Cincinnati" [at which point you're talking SE Indiana and Northern Kentucky], or incorporated city of Cincinnati -- and actually, Anderson Township isn't incorporated city of Cincinnati; I think Mt. Washington is the furthest east that incorporated city of Cincinnati goes).

t edit again I mean "no way" in the sense of "What a coincidence that they live there!", not "No, you are wrong."

Now I'm craving Mt. Washington chili.

So, I was trying to find the ATM machine on campus today. I was told it was in the bookstore and if not in the bookstore, it was in the library. So happily I hop over to the bookstore, no ATM. They told me to go to the library.

I walk into the library, see a functional ATM and put in my card.

DENIED

I put it in again

I check my balance on my phone: $$ in account. So I call bank. They tell me the ATM didn't even contact the bank. There is probably a problem with the ATM.

I guess I didn't need cash today anyway. I wonder how far this $1.25 will stretch?

Now I'm craving Mt. Washington chili.

Camp Washington? (Down at the bottom of MLK, when you cross Central Pkwy and it becomes Hopple St.?) Dang, that *is* good chili.

I had plain words with the ED this morning about staffing of the main house. A part-timer had diplomatically brought up last Tuesday how there was no one in the house the previous Friday, and that we should be aware and make sure that someone is in the house to keep it open to when we say we're open to. Boss then vaguely put the responsibility on everyone's shoulders.

My plain words were: it's not the hort staff's job, because our job takes place outside. We can't do our job if we're inside. It can't be the ed dept's job because their office is in a whole different building, and if they're in the house, they can't be teaching. It can't be the part-time staff's job, because they work odd days and are only in until 1 or 3, not 5. So it comes down to three people, one of whom is doing short days because of physical therapy for spine issues. I told him straight up that it was his responsibility to coordinate with the Development Director (the one we all hate) as to who is manning the house, and that leaving it so vague is giving the DD the assurance that there are other people who can handle it.

Unfortunately, the queen was out sick today, so we couldn't put her to the test when he had to leave early (and locked up the house before 5, hypocrite). The woman comes in at 10, takes a two hour lunch, and then leaves at 4. I hope to god he's having conversations with her behind closed doors, instead of giving general reminders about everyone putting in their 40.

I got in my swim. Yay!
