Hi folks,
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.
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.
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 real names. 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!
Our menu for today includes:
Meatloaf
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Corn
Winter blend vegetables
Hot rolls
Chicken strips
French fries
And for dessert, have some Peach Cobbler or Chocolate Cake.
Keep dry,
Rhoda :-)
P. S. Don't forget about our coffee, cappuccino and regular and
sugar-free Hot Chocolate to take the chill off on these wet and chilly
days to come.
