I am so glad it’s Friday. Finally. School is chugging along but I’m antsy and a bit bored. The quarter ends next week though so I guess that means we’re in the downhill slide. That helps when I’m ready to smack someone. It also helps that I really enjoy my department. Everyone is friendly and helpful, except the guy who’s in rehab for the 2nd time this year because he got 3 DUIs in 5 days a few weeks ago. I don’t really know him and from what I can tell, that’s probably a good thing! The politics are kept to a minimum right now, mostly because I’ve kept my head down this year and just done my job. I don’t know any gossip, I barely know most of the people outside my department. Overall though, this is a much happier place to work than my last school.
We’re going to have a quiet evening in tonight. Rob ordered a pizza and we’re going to catch up on TiVo stuff. I’ll get around to grading portfolios and we’ll do some yard work to clean up the front yard. The lawn needs to be mowed and we have a few broken sprinkler heads that need to be fixed. Rob’s learning the joys of home ownership by getting to do yard work. I’m just glad to have someone to shoulder the load with me.
