Are you Jamaican? 'Cause Jamaican Me Crazy!

There are definitely some days when there is nothing better than working in a school. Days like today, when first and second period are taken up by a "Diversity Brunch" during which teachers (and librarians!) are invited down to the cafeteria to sample native cuisines from foreign countries. My breakfast consisted of some delicious Jamaican coffee, some fried plantains, a taquito, an almond cookie, a "Belgian" waffle (actually a half-frozen Eggo with whipped cream and strawberries), and some mango and pineapple salad. Umm, yum, anyone? Of course, it kind of ruined my 10:30 a.m. lunch of leftover lasagna, and I was forced to listen to Bob Marley at top volume, but hey, at least I got my diversification in for the morning.

Sometimes, when you're having a really bad day, just walking to the staff room and finding coffee and muffins waiting for you can make things seem a little brighter. I heart random snack days.
