Musings on a Snow Day

DAMN I love snow days! There is nothing like a 5:20 a.m. phone call alerting you to the snow day, BEFORE your alarm even goes off. AHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh, I love this country.

Now, getting on topic for a minute, I have news to report: I met with my principal and came clean about my phobias. I told him I could barely function without my star kids who have graduated, and I even have them coming in still to help. I told him my biggest fear: that I'll NEVER learn these damn programs and that the kids have to bypass me for big problems. I HAVE learned how to solve little problems, and I deal with hardware issues all day so the software doesn't get learned. (SHIT, I forgot to tell him that second sentence, which is important if I want to politic for new hardware....note to self.)

Anyway. He said not to worry, that everyone who deals with technology deals with the fact that some kids know more than you...and that's good and OK. So maybe Rachel is right, maybe I should RELAX.

And thank you, as always, Jared, for still coming in and helping out whenever you have a minute between your two full time lives. I love you kids, truly.
