now if I could only find....

Between the last post and this one, my computer died and was ressurected. We've found almost all my files, we've updated some parts. The computer was moved from the computer room to the dining room and back again.

My puter feels much better.

....now if I could only find the little cord for uploading pictures....I'd put a bunch of pictures up.

but for now you'll just have to use your imagination.

Ok, ready?

Picture number 1. Dale is laying on the living room rug looking balefully up from underneath the indignity of a little graduation hat that he had to wear for the final test of obedience class.

Picture number 2. A bunch of Mike's scouts hitched to a sled for the Klondike derby. There's lots of snow and lots of boys and I think that smudge in the corner is his actual troop way in back.

Picture number 3. Pictures of the drive to work on the day when we had a snow day and I didn't get the call. Lots and lots of snow and it looks scary to drive in.

Picture number 4. Dale with lots of static so all the fur on his ears is sticking up. It's quite comical. :)

Did you like those pictures? Were they as good in your imagination as they are on my digital camera? :)

Ah well. I'll keep digging around to find that plug.

*hugs*

I love Snow Days, but....

I'd prefer to know that we have a snow day BEFORE I leave for work.

I'm currently working at a school that is some distance away. My one way commute is regularly between 45 minutes and 1 hour. With the storm last night and this morning, I thought for sure we'd have a snow day.

No phone call came.

So I checked online before I left.

No Snow Day was announced on the school or district webpage.

I watched the news scrolling closings and the only schools in the town where I'm working that were closed at the time were Parochial schools.

So I left a little early.

2 hours later, I arrive at work....ON TIME!!! I walk in the office and the secretary looks at me and says..."You didn't get a phone call did you? School's cancelled."

No....no phone call.

By this time, 5 other teachers have trickled in, all of us not having received a phone call.

The Principal comes out and says "I feel really bad that you all made it out here on time and you came and we dropped the ball in not calling you. So I'm going to buy breakfast, if you'd like to stay for an hour or so and wait for the roads to get better."

So I stayed, got a whole stack of copying done.

The return trip only took 1 and a half hours.

The sad thing is...

I won't get paid for today.

Ah well.

Half a snow day is better than none.
