Front Row Seats For The Big Show

Howdy do, peepolas.

Man, that whole sentence was just wrong.

Anyway, this has been an interesting morning. To note: the darling children are back. I spent a solid hour helping the young 'uns open their big kid lockers, filling out their schedules ("We have to learn about what in Health class?!"), navigating them through the crowds of overzealous 8th graders, and issuing numerous warnings about the dire consequences of spraying Axe Body Spray throughout our hallowed hallways. In short, exactly what you'd expect of a middle school first day.

I was also bemused to find two emails in my inbox: one stating that there was no money in the Technology budget to buy me a new laptop battery (thus rendering my laptop as useless as my desktop), and another informing me that all the librarians in the district would be getting new flat screen monitors for the circulation computers (which we don't need). Well gosh, this district sure knows how to allocate budget dollars!

I still have quite a bit of librarying to do, so I'm off. But for all those people who gave me flak for not writing more over the summer, I'm back. So shut it and enjoy the ride. Oh, and I better start getting some comments up in this piece, or I'll decide that you really don't care and I'll drive to each of your houses, ring your doorbells, and run away and hide in the bushes, laughing, while you stand on your porch with a puzzled face.

Or I'll just stop writing. Whatevs. Point: the fate of my blog rests in your hands. Kind of. To sum up: feedback=good.
