<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Wow, if this keeps up, some of us are going to have to start coming to
work by boat! I passed by lots of ditches this morning that were
overflowing and not far from running onto the highway. They always say
rainy weather is good sleeping weather and I believe it, because I
slept soundly all night long, and didn't even know for sure it was
raining til I poked my head out this morning, but it has evidently been
at it quite a while for there to be this much water standing all over.
Looking at the forecast, we'd best be prepared for more to come, too.<br>
<br>
I want to remind the students that if you have a schedule that prevents
you from being able to make it to the Cafeteria by the 1:15 closing
time some days, we will work with you to see that you get to eat. Just
bring a copy of your schedule so that we can verify that your schedule
is causing a conflict and we will see to it that you get to eat on
those overbooked days. You can order off the Grill and pay with your
meal ticket or if there's some of the main line lunch left and you'd
rather have that just ask. We're here to serve you.<br>
<br>
We got the official notice at our house the other day that our address
has changed. That's something I never thought would happen, since I
didn't move and never intend to move. (It's too big a pain!) I was
all for us getting the 9-1-1 emergency system, but didn't realize it
would literally hit me where I live, causing all my address labels,
checks, and various forms of ID to become incorrect. I just figured if
the emergency people were smart enough to take care of every emergency
they were smart enough to figure out where your house was once you gave
them your address. Evidently though, everything has to be changed to a
totally numerical system, which may help emergency personnel, but it's
going to confuse the heck out of me, and I suspect a whole lot of other
folks who have lived around here for years and know streets and roads
by their <u>real names</u>. The really bad part is, I know if I have
an actual life and death emergency, I'm gonna be on that phone
screaming for them to get to my old "real" address I've had all these
years at the top of my lungs, and any part of that long numbered thing
they've stuck me with will be the last thing on my mind. (I'd probably
come about as close to being able to give them my GPS coordinates, and
I don't have a clue what those are.) I hope they know how to
cross-reference their maps. Wish all us old-timers luck with this
newfangled system! It feels like when they tried to switch us all to
the metric system!<br>
